I was due to do this tour in February but was unwell. Glad I rebooked it. Pedro was such a lovely guide and a considerate driver, especially on the 4x4 off road sections, great fun. The weather was beautiful and I enjoyed all of the stops and viewpoints. It's always nice to book different company tours as they each have different stops. Will definitely look to book another Green Devil Safari tour when I'm back in my happy place, the beautiful island of Madeira

We had a terrific time with Nelson! He accommodated our diverse group and provided a solid overall introduction to life on his island home. We had a blast off roading and eating our way thru the farmers markets!

Had a great afternoon visiting the farmers markets but the highlight was off roading and getting a “Madeiran Massage” in the 4x4. It was absolutely exhilarating and the views were beautiful. Lino was a fantastic guide and driver and taught us a lot about the history of the island. He was funny, informative, and made the experience so much fun! Highly recommend for a half day excursion!

I think the details of this trip need an update. We didn’t quite do this itinerary. As a result we were not prepared for off road but was expecting a more leisurely sunday market trip. We still had a good time. Shame we didn’t do all the stops advertised but all in all it was a memorable morning with more thrills than we were ready for

Lino made our trip very enjoyable and informative. He explained many things about the island we wouldn’t have learned on our own. We Will definitely take a tour again with him.

Very impressive trip on a 45° road, then visit a market and return via a special 4x4 track. breathtaking landscapes, just like the plants and trees encountered! Thanks to LINO, our incredible driver, who brought us back safely! It was all the more difficult as it rained a lot on the heights, but our driver mastered the mud, the ruts and the slips perfectly. Although we were impressed, we never felt in danger. Outstanding driver and guide: Lino explained lots of interesting things to us in French and did not hesitate to introduce us to the highlights of the route.
