We had a fantastic day exploring Madeira. Everything was well organized, the places we visited were absolutely beautiful, and the whole trip felt relaxing and enjoyable. The views were breathtaking, and we got to see so many special spots around the island in just one day.
It was a memorable experience and a great way to discover the beauty of Madeira. I definitely recommend this day trip to anyone visiting the island!

We had a great tour of the East with Louis who was very knowledgeable about the island having been born here. It was very windy and cold at Pico do Arieiro so take a wind proof jacket if you have one. This is our first time to Madeira, so much to see and do so don’t stay in your hotel, get out and about. The island just keeps on giving!!

We had a lovely tour with Luis. The tour covers a lot of places. Probably the lunch stop was too long, as there wasn’t too much else to do in Santana. We had perfect weather and the vehicle was good.

Highly recommend. The guide was a star of the tour. It was a bit of a shame we haven't managed to get to the top of the Pico de Arieiro due to an accident ahead of us, but the guide quickly reversed with confidence(great driving skills btw). He rearranged another place for us to go to. Gave us a lot of useful information and tips. Speaks quite a few languages(impresive!) And is a really knowledgeable person. I wish we could go on this tour on one of our first days in Madeira.

In generale Tour interessante che consiglierei. La guida descrive molto bene i punti dell itinerario anche se non partecipa direttamente, per intenderci quando si raggiunge una tappa resta sul minibus. Peccato per aver acquistato il Tour in lingua italiana e non averne beneficiato.

Dear Mr. Andrea Proietti. We are very glad to know that our driver-guides do an excellent job and describe very well the sights of our amazing island. Our driver-guides give a live commentary only in the minibuses and when we make the multiple breaks during the trips, our guests feel free to visit the surroundings by themselves. Concerning the Italian language, we do not have explanation in Italian and do not understand where did you obtain the ideia you would have Italian guides. We are able to speak several languages, however, Italian is not on the list. We are Happy to know that you can recommend us, despite the language not being what you wish.
