Fabio was an amazing guide! We had an awesome day exploring the west side of the island. We saw beautiful scenery and experienced different climates and weather. We enjoyed seeing the many sights of the west and were able to get ahead from the crowds and he tailored the itinerary to best suit the weather/ time, which we really appreciated. Fabio was knowledgeable, friendly, fun and just a wonderful person. Highly recommend this tour as well as the tour operator 'Hit The Road Madeira'. Thank you for the amazing experience!

We did this tour with Victor - we really appreciate the fact that the tour size is minimal , there were 4 people. Victor was very knowledgeable and patient - we did the 25 fountains, there were several interesting stops with lookouts we enjoyed on the way. The pace was perfect and we started early thereby avoiding the crowds. There was adequate time at each fountain for pictures and to take in the moment. Victor is an awesome tour guide and cares so much for everyone’s comfort and safety- I cannot recommend Hit the Road enough and Victor in particular. We also did the peak to peak walk with Victor similarly early morning to avoid the crowds - unforgettable experience. We were extremely grateful that Victor agreed to take us on this tour at short notice and it was only me and my husband in the group. We were picked up at 530 am and got there on time to see the sunrise. I was struggling in the last parts and told Vic and hubby to go ahead but Vic would not go on without me and stopped every time for me to recover. I really appreciate his kindness.

A post card around each corner with views never to forget. Nunos knowledge of the island was evident and he was a pleasure to have as a guide.

It is the driver that makes these tours and Nuno our driver was exceptional. He was funny and informative passing knowledge of the island and its history and taking us to some really special locations.

Our 2nd time in the amazing and beautiful island of Madeira and our first (of many) tours with HTRM! We did the West Coast Tour with Nuno on 7/5/2024. Just a brilliant day from start to finish. Nuno is a great guide and a top human being. Plus he's an awesome off road driver. By the end of the tour you know youve seen things that only the loacls get to see. You stop at places that are off the beaten tourist track and eat and drink at truly local haunts. (Do Not Buy Bottled Poncha!) You also drive on some of the amazing mountain roads and tracks that only professionals like Nuno would tackle! Nunos knowledge of the island was expansive. I got hooked on HTRM youtube videos after our first visit in 2023 and was determined to book with them for 2024. Best decision. HTRM offers the kind of value for money, personalised service that many tour companies seem to have abandoned. If you are up for a great tour of this beautiful island then I can do nothing but highly recomend HTRM (and Nuno!). Jeff - You have a great company and a great approach to customer service! We will be back!

Exceptional full day West Island tour with a fantastic group of people and our expert guide Fabio. Booking well in advance of your trip to Madeira is highly recommended to avoid disappointment. My wife and I tried to book a second excursion for the East Island tour following such an enjoyable day but could only hope for a cancellation. Elisa sent regular communications via WhatsApp or email, and our collection time was as described. Fabio made the day memorable with his whit and knowledge, and you felt safe in his hands. The Land-rover seats 6 passengers, 1 in the front, three on the second bench, and two in the very back. We enjoyed some regular light walking throughout the day, to take in some stunning scenery. I could not recommend this company more highly, and they truly deserve 5 stars. Many thanks to the whole team for a great day.

We did the sunrise tour and then the West Coast tour the following day and both were amazing. Great value and the tour guides were fantastic. Also the office team were excellent and sent very clear info ahead of time and even sent me recommendations for restaurants.

Awesome tour. Tiago was amazing, provided us with a lot of inside information, showed us a lot of hidden spots, even went through the trouble of being our photographer :D we experienced Madeira like a real locals. Shared poncha,life stories, laughs. Truly a beautiful day. A guide that is one with the island!!! We had a truly amazing time and we are definitely coming back. Thank you Tiago for wonderful day!
