I booked at the last minute for this trip and the communication was excellent. Our driver Hugo was brilliant, planning the evening around the clouds and taking us to the best places. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing time with Hugo as our guide. He was very entertaining and informative. He also gave us some good restaurant recommendations. We highly recommend this tour.

Stunning views.

Absolutely loved this tour, our driver Fernando was a great guy and very engaging with everyone on the tour. Although we had prepared for it being cold up in the mountains, it was actually a lot colder than anticipated. Fernando very kindly just got his jacket out of his 4 x 4 and gave it to me to wear, for which I was extremely grateful.

Amazing

The sunset trip with Hugo was phenomenal! We loved it so much. The views are breathtaking and we really enjoyed Hugos company, his knowledge and passion. Thank you, Hit the Road Madeira for making our first day on the island so special. We would highly recommend this trip to everyone visiting Madeira.
