Very useful way to explore the west side of the Island

Sean_T, Feb 2026

A good amount of time doesn’t at each stop so that you get a good feel for the west side of the Island.

West side tour - Maderia

Christine_J, Feb 2026

The driver was excellent and very informative. It would have been helpful to know that the Salt water pools were closed as this was a major factor in choosing the trip. But we enjoyed the day.

Day to Porto moniz with Luis!

Madeira Tour im April

volfgang_s, Apr 2023

Uns hat die ganze Tour sehr gut gefallen. Wir hatten einen sicheren Fahrer, der die Tour wunderbar erklärt hatte und vor allem Pausen für schöne Fotos eingelegt hatte. Leider kennen wir seinen Namen nicht, haben ihn nicht behalten. Wir möchten die Tour mit ihm sehr gerne weiterempfehlen.

Weniger ist manchmal mehr

Melanie_H, Nov 2022

Diese Tour zeigt schöne Orte im Westen der Insel Madeira. Unser Guide war sehr freundlich und beantwortete Fragen. Es war eine angenehme Stimmung im Bus. Für mich persönlich wäre es schöner gewesen, wären weniger Haltepunkte in derselben Zeit angefahren worden. So war es für mich ehr stressig. Die Pause von 1,5 Stunden war für Schwimmen in Porto Moniz und Essen auch wieder zu kurz. Es gibt mehrere Gaststätten, aber für die Anzahl an Touristen, die in kurzer Zeit unweit vom Bus Essen möchte, war es nicht geeignet.
