The guide was great and very knowledgable and was happy to fit around what we wanted to do. Shame we didn’t get the views due to cloud but we still saw some amazing places that we wouldn’t by ourselves

Guide Juan was very friendly, charismatic and informative and on time. I think less time for lunch and driving in between with more stops would have made it even better. Due to road closures one stop couldn’t be done when we got there but understand these things happen and out of their control.

On a appris beaucoup de chose, on a vu des paysages incroyables. Et le groupe dans lequel j’etais etait adorable. Vous pouvez recommander cet activité les yeux fermés, c’est un moment tres agréable et trés instructif. Merci beaucoup .

Our guide, Ricardo was superb, very informative and took us off road and to quite places to view. The transport was not overloaded, just 4 people and himself. Would highly recommend anybody to take this trip. We were very lucky with the weather. Views were fantastic. The perfume from the flowers were lovely too.

We actually booked both tours, Northeast and Northwest. The respective drivers Ruben and Ricardo are humble guys who love what they are doing. They take their time to present you to all the gems of their beloved home island. No rushing, a small group of people, a save drive and a relaxed atmosphere were characteristics of these trips. We couldn't imagine a better way to explore Madeira.
