Organised, Friendly and Well-Run - Took the East Coast tour. Guide Paulo was very knowledgeable and brought to life a lot about Madeirean lifestyle and customs. The tour was well run and managed, with a comfortable minibus. Will use again, and recommend this company.

Renato! Top tour guide for Feeling Madeira!! - The tour guide made the trip a special one! Renato was very knowledgeable about the island, he was pointing out all the different trees , flowers, fruits and plants which we appreciated. The East Tour had some fantastic stops, such good value for money. For me the village of Santana was my favourite with the triangular houses. Feeling Madeira offered a great service for a great price and Renato was genuinely one of the best tour guides we’ve ever met! His enthusiasm shone through 😊

Worth every penny (or cent) - Renato was our tour guide. He was so informative and had a great sense of humour. The tour was great from start to finish. I'm not sure which was my favourite bit, seeing the oldest christ the redeemer, the rum or the final stop at the top of the mountain! You stop between 20 and 30 minutes at each stop, which is enough, to be honest. We stopped for an hour and a half for lunch, which was also just enough. Would thoroughly recommend! (Infact we recommended it when we met new holiday friends who are planning on doing the tour!) Definitely go, it's well worth the money :)

Full day East Tour of Madeira - Just returned to our hotel following a stunning tour of the East of Madeira courtesy of our very engaging guide, Renato. His knowledge and passion for the island was clear. We also completed a half day tour three days ago to Nuns Valley with guide Gabriel who was equally as informative. Both destinations are amazing even with fog at the peak of East tour making it very atmospheric. Would thoroughly recommend this tour company.
