I went on the East of the island tour. It was wonderful - a lot of fantastic stops and sights. Including a small Rum distillery stop and tasting! We then went for an off-road track which was thrilling to say the least. This also lead to a fantastic spot for lunch. The additional wine tasting at a winery was really great, being able to enjoy the wines of Madeira while looking out onto Sao Vincente and the chapel.

Amazing tour of the East of the island. Our guide was Joao, who was absolutely brilliant. We loved all of it, excellent value for money. We got to see parts of Madeira we could never have found on our own, incredible scenery and Joao knew lots of local inside information. Thank you Joao for doing such a great job.

We did three tours - East, West, and Central, with Antonio, Nuno, and Antonio. They were AMAZING! The guys were funny, chill, and super knowledgeable about history, culture, and the flora and fauna of the island. We had a wonderful time and would recommend your tours to everyone we know visiting Madeira. Carol also made booking the tours super easy so everything was simple to plan. Wishing you guys all the best in the future, thanks for making our trip fantastic!

As much as good as you can do it during a single day! Well designed day tour with a lively and lovely local guide/driver, thanks Justin! We enjoyed every minute and hope to do the western tour when we hopefully return soon 👍😜

We did two 4x4 jeep tours with Adventureland during our holiday: West and East. Both times there were just 4 passengers in the Landrover Discovery plus our driverJesse. We loved both tours and enjoyed discovering the beautiful diversity the island has to offer and seeing places which would be inaccessible in a hire car. Jesse was an excellent and skillful driver who navigated every type of road with confidence and at a sensible pace. He was also a very pleasant and convivial guide who struck the right balance between providing interesting information about the surroundings and quiet times to just let the passengers enjoy the scenery. On both tours we opted for the 15€ lunch which was very tasty and great value for money: three courses plus wine. I would absolutely recommend this company and hope to use them again in the future.

We had a wonderful day with our guide and very capable driver, Antonio. He was full of information about flowers and plants and of the areas we visited on our 4X4 Land Rover trip. Antonio also booked us a table for our lunch at Quinta do Furao in Santana. That was a lovely stop with good food and a great view—very good choice to make the day even more special. He picked us up on time and returned us to our door. It was a terrific day and we are so happy we booked this trip. Thanks Antonio!

We took the Adventureland East tour and were not disappointed. Our driver and guide Edi was excellent - his English and knowledge was first class and he briefed us clearly with a map at the start of day exactly where we would go. Lunch in Santana was very reasonably priced (we had the local scabbard fish) and overall it was an excellent day out.

Wow, what an amazing tour, fabulous scenery, and a very knoweleable guide, not one question asked that he could not answer, and so informative on everything we passed, and he made it a fun day, would definitely use adventureland again 10 stars

we booked this tour with Pedro in the office in Funchal, he was friendly and patient answering all our questions. The jeep arrived early with another man called Pedro who was delightful. on the day we went there were just the four of us travelling. Pedro is very passionate about the island of Madeira and rightly so. he enjoyed pointing out various plants and flowers, never rushed us and also pointed out dangers to us. the views on this excursion are quite breathtaking. hanging out the back of the jeep was great fun and Pedro was a very considerate driver warning us when to duck and hang on. we took our own sandwiches but you can pay extra for lunch. the levada walk of approx 45 mins is flat and easy with incredible views.Pedro took some photos on his own phone which he kindly emailed back to us for our return to the UK. Most definitely the highlight of our holiday, well worth the money, great experience and I would one hundred percent use this company for further tours when next in Madeira. Thanks Pedro !!!
