We had a great day exploring the west and north of the island with our guide, Guilherme ( AKA Christiano Ronaldo!) who was very friendly and informative throughout the trip. And a great driver too, negotiating the steep and winding roads and safely avoiding random cows wandering in the middle of the road! We had the opportunity to see some amazing sights as we explored the west side, stopping along the way in some beautiful costal villages. And the Sky Walk was well worth the 2 euros for the fantastic view 580 metres above sea level. Our final stop was in the Fanal Forest which was up in the clouds. Very atmospheric but also freezing cold so don’t forget to take a long sleeved jacket or jumper! For a whole day’s sightseeing trip, we thought it was excellent value and would definitely recommend.

Going from the bright sunshine of Porto Moniz up to the fog of Fanal forest was incredible, fantastic day tour, highly recommend. Loads of time at stops for photos and lunch at Porto Moniz in the beautiful sunshine was amazing. Ronaldo joked his way around the west side of the island but was very friendly and extremely helpful, answering any questions we had

Amazing views and a very informative trip, we had the honour of having Luca be our guide and he was extremely knowledgeable about the island and history, it was so good we done the east side tour 2 days later with Luca again, couldn’t recommend the tour and the guide enough!

Lynda_M

We saw some beautiful scenery and our guide Luka was great he told us loads of interesting facts about Madeira's flora and fauna as well as the history and culture. As an extra he also took us to wine tasting. All in all a great day.

Excellent day out lead by Guilherme, starting with a hotel pick up, numerous picturesque stops and a delicious traditional meal with wine. Guilherme gave lots of explanations and commentary with a great sense of humour. The scenery was stunningly beautiful 😍

We toured the West side of the island with the best tour guide we have ever encountered. His enthusiasm and love of the island were very inspiring. He provided us with history of the island and information on how some places got their names. Each villa we visited was beautiful and the view points provided the most beautiful scenery which left us awestruck. The Fanal forest with the ancient trees in all different shapes and sizes oozed mystery and transported me back to the story of the Wizard of Oz. Thank you Luca and well done! We loved every minute of the tour. You made it informative and fun and it went by in a flash although we were out with you all day. We highly recommend this tour and highly recommend Luca as the guide.

Super tour to many wonderful places- very enjoyable- especially to Fanal!!! Good amount of time at each stop so didnʻt feel rushed.

Graham_L

We saw so many sights in one day. It was spectacular. The spots are exactly as you see in photos. The guide was informative and worked hard to avoid the crowds which was really helpful and efficient. Some of the jokes were a bit cringe though.

Very good option how to see more places in Madeira, if you don't rent a car. Our guide Luca was funny, very caring, providing us lots of information about Madeira and visited places. Fanal forest and swimming in Porto Moniz were my highlights of the trip. Highly recommended! :)
