Madeira

You can choose between: East, West, South or North of the Island.

Camara De Lobos

We start the tour in “Câmara de Lobos”, it is a fishing village, which is located on the west side of Funchal. The boats are housed in the small bay, creating a unique landscape on the island. The name was given by João Gonçalves Zarco, resulting from the abundance of monk seals that were in the bay. Locally, this place is well known for the traditional Poncha, a drink made with citrus, honey and rum from the region.

Cabo Girao

The tour continues to the second highest cliff in the world and the highest in Europe (580m) – (1775ft). One of the most tourist spots on the island. Here you will have a privileged view of Câmara de Lobos and Funchal. Due to natural erosion from the sea, caves and terrain were formed along the coast.

It is an important town in the Region, which connects the North and the rest of the west of the island. The word Ribeira (means river) and the word Brava (means wild).

Great experience. Our driver Aggie was friendly, informative and professional. Really good value, in the time we had we saw a lot on this tour with great views where we could stop as often as we wanted. The trip was just long enough for us and well worth the money and the stop for a genuine freshly made poncha was brilliant.

Having a private tour we were able to miss the crowds and queues. Our driver Aggi was brilliant, so knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble

We truly had an amazing time with this private tour with Ag. He was very knowledgeable of Madeira, very polite and accommodating. We even had a chance to try the drink poncha! Highly recommended this private tour!

Stephanie_C

Aggie is great! He has a lot of passion for this island and carried it through the entire tour. We booked last minute due to the constantly changing itenerary of our ship. However, Aggie picked up on the booking immediately and even sent photos of our cruise ship coming into the harbor. Unlike other tour guides who just dropped us off to wander on our own, Aggie came along with us to describe what we were seeing. We also have this hobby called geocaching which we explained to him and he jumped right in with us on the searches. He was really good at it, too. He was constantly aware of our needs and likes and was right on with the great viewpoints and visit to Nun’s Valley. If I ever go back to Madeira I will definitely book with Aggie to see more of that fantastic island.
