Val offered us a fascinating trip around the east of the island that included exploring some of the most interesting towns in this area (such as Santa Cruz, Machico and Santana) as well as the opportunity to enjoy the natural wonders of eastern Madeira. We especially appreciated the efforts Val made to find us quieter places of beauty and the wealth of knowledge he was able to share about the natural, cultural and political history of the island. Our teenage sons also very much enjoyed the thrill of driving off-road and being able to enjoy rooftop views from the jeep. Overall, we enjoyed the tour so much that we booked a second tour with Val to the West of the island which proved similarly rich and memorable. Without question, exploring the island with Val and sharing his knowledge of Madeira was the highlight of our visit.

Definitely the best way to explore Madeira and get awesome tips for the rest of your trip. We had an amazing first day on Madeira with Valdemar and his 4WD car - you'll definitely see places, you'd never see on your own. We got so many tips for our vacation, that it was worth every single euro and Valdemar is a really great guy!

Winding roads through green hills of east Madeira, passing by small villages and farms. Stopping at a miradouro, taking in the breathtaking ocean views and exploring hidden levada trails. Beautiful scenery, variety of fruits and a lot of positivity from Valdemar. Highly recommended!

Really great trip, Val was really attentive and personable. He’s got genuine and deep knowledge of the island and real pride in his country, which came across and was appreciated and refreshing to hear
He makes you feel like he’s there for you. He did his homework on us and really tailored the tour, down to the freshest poncha.
Worth noting this service wasn’t a one off and I was introduced by my son who went a few year back and also had a great experience with Val. Would definitely go again.

In 8 hours we got a lot of unforgettable impressions - we saw places which we never would come to otherwise, hidden gems of Madeira, astonishing views and we got tons of information about history, culture, traditions, food etc. Val, our guide, is a brilliant driver and fantastic person, he makes sure everyone is happy. If you only have time for one tour while here - choose any tour with Val, it's so worth it!

Pickup
Check if pick-up is available from your location, you will select during checkout (providers may allow other pickup locations)
These are private tours with a single pick-up stop, and the adventure begins as soon as we meet. Important: pick-ups outside Funchal, Santa Cruz, and Câmara de Lobos incur a small additional fee. I drive a car branded with the Go Local Madeira logo and usually pick up guests at their door. For on-shore tours, I’ll meet you at the cruise ship dock and provide clear, easy-to-follow instructions to ensure a smooth and stress-free meeting.
I have two fully restored all-terrain vehicles for your comfort and safety:
Nissan Patrol (1993) – 5 seats: 1 facing forward, 4 in the back facing sideways (60 cm / 23 inches each), with a panoramic/convertible roof for amazing views.
Land Rover Discovery TDI (1996) – 4 seats facing forward, perfect for a comfortable ride.
Vehicles are assigned depending on availability, maintenance, or weather conditions, with prior notice given to guests.
What to expect
We will explore the East of Madeira, the region with more diversity in culture, forest, hikes, flavors, and breathtaking landscapes. In the East is so easy to avoid the beaten track and touristy places and more than a tour, you can experience a full immersion, where you will feel like a local. This tour will be customized to my guests depending on their expectations or places they want to visit. I can also provide an on-time designed tour just after talking with guests and knowing what they would like to do or if they have any interests in particular and i can suggest some itineraries that can fulfill their expectations.
The pickup time is merely a suggestion. Travelers can choose the time to be picked up, upon agreement with the guide.
