We had an amazing tour of the east side of Madeira. Hugo was an amazing guide and kept us laughing all day long. Being a native he was able to not only show us around beautiful Madeira, but also educate us on its culture and history.
I can't recommend Hit The Road Madiera enough. A great group of people with deep knowledge of Madeira who take great care of their customers!

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience, our guide Fabio was interesting & funny, and shared his vast knowledge of his beautiful island.
This is my second tour with Hit The Road & it’s clear that you guys love what you do by delivering exciting, interesting & informative tours every time.
I would highly recommend you to anyone and when we return to Madeira we will definitely look to book with you again.
Thank you

We did private tour with Hugo for the best day ever!! It felt like we were touring the island with a friend who wanted us to experience everything we could about this beautiful island. We told him we had a Jeep and had several land rovers over the years so he knew we loved off roads. He took us to places we’d have never done in our own in our rental. He explained history and shared so much knowledge with us. We had an amazing lunch, enjoyed some poncho and got pictures at the most speculator sites. Seriously, the best tour we have ever done!!
