Istvan_V

The centire route is beautiful. The biggest fun was to swim in the naturális pools in P. Monis. The guide was excellent driver, host and fluent in English. I wish I could come again.

Simon_S

The worst tour arrangement we have ever had. I am 75 years old had to be in the back of a small van without air for 8 hours tour. I had to get out and get in banging my head over the door every time. The driver made no effort to manage the situation, young people were sitting upfront and old in the back.

Janice_J

Andre was a great guide, the tour was so much more than expected. A very enjoyable, informative day out.

Katja K

Great Tour with several stops. Each stop got a perfect amount of time to explore, take pictures and enjoy. Perfect Tour for anybody who doesn't have a rental car here but still want to get a good look at the Island!

A brilliant final day of our holiday in Madeira Our guide was lovely and friendly. Even lent me his jacket when it started to rain. The stops we made were great and timings perfect for us. Gained lots of interesting facts about the island during the tour and the views were spectacular! Would definitely recommend this trip. Great value for money.

Denise A

A really good trip, with lots of stop off points and lots of information about the island. It got quite busy in car parks as day went on but we managed to park and get out. Time to have lunch and coffee stops. Can be cokd/ wet at Fanal so take the right clothing.

Everything tour atmosphere driver customer service all the passengers got along overall vibe overall tour

Linda_S

There were 6 of us in a comfortable vehicle. Interesting day, visited several places with stops of just the right length. We drove through the forest area but didn't stop as the weather was bad in that area alone. The landscape was varied and unlike other parts of the island. Highly recommend the day

Anthony_C

Christian our driver/guide was Excellent he made the day his knowledge of the areas he took us was invaluable pointing sights along the way explaining in English and French ( the group of 7 consisted of 2 English, 3 French + 2 German speakers) Christian gave us ample time at each fabulous location and even extended his route and day so we could visit the sky platform later in the day after we initially arrived there in the morning and it was extremely busy he said this will be no fun for you with so many people ( 2 cruise ships were in port) l will bring you back in the afternoon when it will be quieter and the sun will be behind you for better photographs. His dedication to giving us the best time was remarkable and nothing was too much for him he his a credit to the company. All in all this is a must do trip if you want to take in several amazing sights Madeira has to offer at a great price and you don't want to hire car Highly Recommended 5* 10/10
