Fabio was an amazing guide! We had an awesome day exploring the west side of the island. We saw beautiful scenery and experienced different climates and weather. We enjoyed seeing the many sights of the west and were able to get ahead from the crowds and he tailored the itinerary to best suit the weather/ time, which we really appreciated. Fabio was knowledgeable, friendly, fun and just a wonderful person. Highly recommend this tour as well as the tour operator 'Hit The Road Madeira'. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Eucalyptus and Bay Leaf—and People Too

Nate_T, Mar 2023

Levada walk, lunch on balcony by basalt pools, old forest, Tiago’s favorite bbq picnic area, natural history lessons, learning about Tiago and his life helped us understand Madeira better. Tiago also helped connect us to one another

Not the best weather but still fun.

There was a quick comraderie between our driver Nuno and the guests. From the youngest (21) to the oldest (70s) it seemed that everyone had a very enjoyable tour.

Amazing day in the West

This was a perfect introduction to the west side of the island. Had a great day with Tiago. He's very knowledgeable and passionate about his island. He was also flexible in anything else people wanted to see or do unlike the bigger tour companies that need to stick to the itinerary.

Miglior safari a Madeira

Lorenzo_V, Aug 2022

Bellissimo safari dell'ovest dell'isola di Madeira. Tiago, la guida e autista, è stato molto competente, bravo e simpatico. Ha dato molte informazioni interessanti sull'isola e ci ha fatto scoprire dei fantastici posti nascosti dell'isola. Da rifare sicuramente con questa compagnia! Consigliato 10/10!
