Gil is the best jeep tour guide - We are 5 adults with 1 handicapped. Our guide’s name Gil was so accommodating and handled our group with a lot of care getting in and out of the jeep. Always making sure everyone is enjoying the tour. We did 2 half day tours and really enjoyed Gil’s knowledge and outgoing personality. We made plenty of stops and had a great off roading experience! I highly recommend this tour.

Tour of a lifetime in less than five hours! - What an incredible half day trip!! Our driver, Gil, was amazing!! He took us to less touristy areas, showed us the beauty of Madeira, and even told us about the flora and found wild fruits for us to sample. The photos and video I was able to capture is breathtaking. I cannot put a price on this fantastic experience!!

Incredibly fun private tour of Madeira with the best guide ! - This was the most incredible day of our trip. Diogo C was a fun, friendly and enthusiastic guide. He knew so many amazing local places off the beaten path that we would never have seen if we weren’t with him. He made sure we were safe, comfortable and having fun every second of the four. We saw so much of the island and just had the best time. We hope to do another tour with true spirit and Diogo while we are in town. Our adult kids said this was their favorite day of our trip. We did a private half day and it was worth every penny. Just book it- you will have amazing memories!

Nice ride - Half a day on the road with the jeep, seeing beautiful views. The guide was very friendly and told a lot about the island. There was also time for a poncha and coffee. All in all worth it!

Great guide, but misleading itinerary. - Robert, our guide, was excellent; very knowledgeable and informative. However, we felt that the advertising was misleading. For the half day experience, the information on Trip Advisor showed a typical itinerary including Cabo Girao (admission excluded), Pico do Ariero (admission included), Miradouro do Bocas dos Namarado (admission included), Porto Moniz swimming pools (admission excluded) and Stop at Valley of the Nuns (admission included). It also said the duration was five hours. We were picked up at 9:00 and dropped back to our pickup location at 12:45, well under four hours. We had a very interesting drive, including Miradouro da Boca dos Namarados as well as a second viewpoint looking in to the Valley of the Nuns, Cabo Girao with the glass floor lookout straight down to the ocean below, the village of Camera da Lobos with its fishing boats, etc., and a lot of spectacular driving, both on and off road. However, I never went to Pico do Ariero, we never went in to the village of the valley of the nuns, and we never went anywhere near the north coast or Porto Moniz. When we asked Roberto, before starting, where we would be going, he showed only a smallish area, with Valley of the Nuns as the furthest point from Funchal, about a third of the distance to Porto Moniz. When we asked about Porto Moniz, he said that could only be done on a full day tour, in direct contradiction of the itinerary from Trip Advisor. All in all a very enjoyable experience, but definitely not what was advertised or expected. In terms of recommending, I would say yes, but with serious reservations as to the actual vs advertised content.
