Diogo was a fantastic guide. He is very knowledgeable about the island and a very safe driver. I highly recommend this tour. It was a great way to see the west side of Madeira!

My sister and I chose to book two tours of the island with Madeira Tours by Diogo due to the consistent recommendations we noticed in Madeira Facebook groups. Very polite and efficient email communication prior to our holiday and picked up promptly for the airport transfer to our hotel. On one day we did the western tour of the island with Ricardo. They also kindly moved some things around as we knew from weather forecasts one day would be better to see pico in the morning. Ricardo was polite and interesting. There was no rush as to time and the taxi was comfortable and great air conditioning. He took us to all the main points and helped us take photos and gave us lots of information about the island and interesting facts. Diogo was lovely too and did the eastern tour for us. He was also very friendly and easy to talk to. We loved listening to his stories. Madeira is a stunning island and I would not hesitate to recommend Ricardo and Diogo. They should be your number one choice for taxis and private tours. Thank you gentlemen.

We wre a group of five adult friends visiting Madeira in tej beginning of May 2024. Base on excellent TripAdvisor reviews we chose Diogo’s service to do both full day personal trips - East side and West side tours. We had a list of sights and places we wanted to see and this overlapped with Diogo’s plan. I cannot find words to describe Diogo’ s professionalism, politeness, humbleness and knowledge. He was very flexible. Able to answer any questions we had, many of those coming ad hoc to our minds. The second day we felt as if he was our old acquaintance, not to say friend. His van was immaculate. Diogo gave it additional shine whenever waiting for us doing local sightseeing. Suggested and stopped at good restaurants to our requested type of food and service. Highly empathic person. I am not surprised now how come he had 300 very good of 300 total reviews, what initially seemed to me unbelievable. I highly recommend Diogo and his services to anyone willing to the most and the best of Madeira.

We are so glad we decided to book a tour of the West side of the Island with Diogo. He was born in Madeira and is very knowledgeable and interesting and is an excellent driver. He picked us up at our hotel and dropped us back in Funchal in time to see the classic car parade. The scenery was stunning and we had plenty of opportunities to stop and take photos. Although it was a long day it was worth it to get a snap shot of the beautiful island of Madeira. I recommend booking direct with madeiratoursbydiogo.com

Very disappointing day in Madeira. When we booked this tour I was under the impression it was a guided tour of the west side of the island. In fact it was only a taxi cab driving us from point to point with no guided tour. When we would reach a location the driver would state the name and tell us to explore on our own and that he would be waiting for us at the drop off location. No explanations, descriptions, background or history was provided. It became apparent the driver was not a tour guide and only a driver. Since it was a full day tour I asked about the options for lunch. He became quite flustered and was unable to offer any suggestions. We ended not having lunch. If you are only looking for a cab ride around the island, this tour would expensive but acceptable, however if you are looking for a guided tour you will be very disappointed. Before writing this review, I reviewed the details of the tour and realized several of the destinations listed were skipped including Porto Moniz Natural Swimming Pool, the town of Seixal and Sao Vicente. Make sure if you are on this tour that the driver does not skip these stops since they are the "highlights" of the trip.

So many good things to say about this tour! I booked the tour a couple weeks before my arrival based on Diogo’s reviews and the stopping points for the West tour. This was not only one of the highlights of my time in Madeira but also easily one of the best tours I have ever been on. I prefer smaller tours and this day I was even luckier that it was just me! And although I probably ask the same number of questions as a group of 4 or more 😂 Diogo was happy to answer and was extremely kind, friendly and knowledgeable. Communication leading up to the tour was excellent and flexibility in timing for the stops made the tour even more relaxing! I highly recommend Diogo and booking farther in advance than I did as I’m sure he’s quick to book up fast! Thank you Diogo!

Loved this tour, we really felt the local experience. Saw just enough “tourist” sites mixed in with local life scenes, which was what we requested. Thank you!!!

Madeira Tours by Diogo is the absolute perfect way to see the island. The drivers, Ricardo and Diogo, are both very kind and helpful. They know the island and love to show others. The two days we spent with them was the highlight of our time in Madeira. I highly recommend Tours by Diogo to others.

We had an excellent day with our guide Rodrigo. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable. He didn’t rush us and gave us ample time to see the sights, have lunch etc. The van was comfortable and we felt safe with his driving. We did several tours while in Madeira and this was one of our favorite.
