Excellent despite the weather - The weather was very much against us but Chris, our driver was extremely informative about the island of Madeira and provided some light hearted entertainment along the way. It’s a shame the cloud coverage hampered the beautiful views we had expected to see but off roading was fun. Would definitely recommend if you’re visiting the island :-)

4x4 mountains and off road - Chris, our guide, was very informative and super friendly and welcoming. It was a shame the weather was a bit wet and miserable, but he made it fun still.

Half day jeep tour - Rui was a fabulous guide and driver, taking us to some of the most stunning locations on Madeira. He spoke brilliant English, giving us detailed information about the landscape, while driving difficult and challenging roads. We went offroad through the forest, standing up in the back for fun. It was a brilliant day, highly recommended and we are so grateful to Rui for giving us such a wonderful time.

Remerio still made it a fun trip! - Due to the bad weather, the trip to Pico Arieiro had to be canceled... luckily Romerio managed to make it a fun trip with beautiful viewpoints. No correct information from TUI about the trip unfortunately..
