Did this tour with my sister, both in our seventies from a cruise ship, what a fantastic time we had, Lewis our driver picked us up and returned us right to the gangway of the ship which was great as my sister has trouble walking, he was very polite, informative and helped her in and out of the sidecar. Took us to various sightseeing spots for photo stop, also stopped at a view point where there was a local cafe where we had the opportunity at our expense to taste the local drink "poncha" made with rum, lemon and orange and honey, very tasty it was too also tried a local cheese dish. All in all a great trip, well worth the money and made some lovely memories.

Fabulous experience, wonderful scenery, and some interesting insights on Island life. Very well done to Nuno, our experienced driver and guide for a memorable couple of hours.

Brilliant trip around Funchal with Nuno. Really great experience. He took loads of photos which he said he would email to us but sadly we still haven't received them. I have emailed a couple of times to chase them but no luck. What a shame it would have been a lovely reminder of a great day.

Excellent tour, great guide , great value, fantastic way to see around the island. Picked up as we came ashore Filipe was already waiting . I recommend this for anyone who likes to try something a bit different

We had a fantastic trip with Filipe. As young older passengers we were worried, about the concept of travelling on the motorbike and sidecar. Filipe put us at ease, and Julie loved travelling in the sidecar. The two way radio worked floorlessly. A great day, great tour, picked up outside the cruise ship, and timely dropped off. I’m sure it would not have been a problem, if we had asked Filipe to drop us off in the old town and walked back. Thank you Filipe 👍

Wonderful tour for my wife and myself. We are not 'bikers' but fear not! We felt safe with our guide Rodrigo. We left it to him to take us to great viewing spots and was able to share his experience and knowledge of Madeira. We arrived on a cruise ship and we booked direct and it was an easy to find meeting point. We loved the island and will look at booking another different tour on our return. Get the wind in your face and enjoy!

The main road is little more than an alley way but on either side are multitude of places to eat as you peruse the highly and individually decorated doors on each dwelling. Turn right and you are into a small square that leads one way to an historic fort and the other way leads to the cable car to Monte. At night it's spectacular.

Laura J

Personalised tour with fantastic guide. I would highly recommend. Great way to see the island. Thank you Phillipe.

We had a lovely trip with Filipe and Nuno, the bikes were very comfy and all the places we visited were interesting. It was great that our guides told us the history of the island. Would definitely recommend.

Rodrigo met us at the ship on Boxing Day and had a lovely informative tour to the east of Funchal. Madeira is a beautiful island this was only our 2nd visit but we love it, the people are friendly weather beautiful. The Christmas lights and whole town looked lovely and Rodrigo said we should go back into town in the evening for the illumination. The whole town looked amazing and was great to see so many families enjoying the festivities. We are back in September and our family want to do the sidecar ride too so look forward to that. Thank you Rodrigo for a wonderful experience.
