Overall it was an amazing tour and we managed to see some amazing views due to getting lucky with the weather! It was a great way to see loads of the island in one day. Tour guide was very knowledgeable; he spoke in English and Portuguese. Our commentary was maybe around 70% Portuguese and 30% English in case that may be a problem but what can you expect in a Portuguese island.

Prompt pick up. Very friendly, patient, amiable and knowledgeable tour guide/driver. Took us to sights that are off the beaten track to make our experience fuller and enjoyable.

Really well organised trip with a very informed guide. Nice balance of stops covering a diverse and beautiful part of the island. Good value and highly recommended!

Snr Barros gave us a fantastic tour. It was supposed to be in Portuguese only but there were two German speakers on the tour, so he did it in both languages. We saw breathtaking views and traditional houses, and we also got lots of interesting information about Madeira. I drank quite a lot of poncha, too!

AMAZING MADEIRA! I am a fan of CrisR7, and arrived at the airport just the same day! They even picked me up there! Thank you!

We decided to have a private tour as our cruise ship time in port was limited. We were met at the port by Melem, who asked what our interests were and adapted our day accordingly. He never rushed us and allowed us plenty of time at the viewpoints to admire the fantastic vistas. We also were able to extend the Lavada walk while he drove to meet us. His local knowledge allowed us to see an inhabited triangular house in Santana. We opted to include lunch in Santana as part of our tour and this was an excellent 3 courses.

I thought this trip was really great and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The reason for 4 stars and not five is because I thought the trip to Santana to see the Madeira houses was not really worth it. It was a very touristy place and we spent a big chunk of the day travelling there and being there. However, I do believe most tours go there as it is a touristy place. The rest of the trip was really gorgeous and I liked how in one trip I saw cliffs, village views, a levada, and mountains. It’s like I’ve seen the best of Madeira all in one day! And our tour guide was really great! Funny and made the trip really interesting!

Myself and my partner went on this tour which was a great way to see the island. Great views, scenery and lots of interesting insights and knowledge was shared about the local areas, people, communities, plants and history. If your looking for a relaxing sightseeing venture to see north and south of Madeira then this is for you. You can opt for having lunch in santana which is worth it also. Enjoy and thanks to the tour guide that took us on the 4th of January.
