West tour experience - Very easy booking system and kept up to date with times for leaving. Fanal forest was highly unusual but a great place to see. Porto Moniz pools were spectacular as waves were massive. Guide was excellent and spoke along the route about points of interest.

A good introduction to parts of Madeira. - If you don't have your own transport and you want to get an idea of parts of northern and western Madeira this tour is a good option. The group was fairly small (under 10, I think), our guide, Roy, was very knowledgeable and we visited a reasonable amount of places, quite a variety. Occasionaly it felt a bit rushed but on balance it was about right. I particularly liked having lots of time at Porto Moniz, great swimming opportunity, for me it was the highlight of the trip.

Excellent West Tour, with Outstanding guide and driver. - We were looking for a cheaper option for our island tours, than the TUI offerings. We definitely found a gem. From booking to drop off at the hotel, everything was professional. After booking we got confirmation emails, immediately and just prior to our trip. Then a What'App message the day before confirming time of pick up. Our hotel was in Canico, so 20 min from Funchal. However no problem to pick up first and drop off last. Cristian our guide and Fernando the driver were excellent throughout. Cristian was informative and Fernando skilfull,navigating the tight twisty roads. They modified the itinerary to gain the best advantage for our group. Then a hiccup at Fanal forest, where a fellow traveller did not return on time. They dealt with it in a calm professional manner, until he was found. This delayed the tour by about an hour, but we still made every stop and had enough time to take pictures or have a wander round. Take a raincoat into the mountains and dress in layers, for the rest of the trip. The climate changes, but that is the beauty of the island A great value tour, by 2 assets to the company.

Great tour - Interesting trip to the north and West of the island. Our guide was Rui and very informative about Madeira. We really liked the fanal forest stop. Possibly could have had less stops for longer as we stopped at a lot of places for 20 mins.

Excellent! - The tour took us to places that we might not have visited on our own. Our guide and driver, Christian, gave us a brief introduction to the history and politics of the island and looked after us with charm and humour. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day. Our favourite stop was the Fanal forest.

Great scenery-disappointing tour guide - Tour guide went through the motions and provided unenthusiastic commentary. It d didn’t help matters when there was rude people in the back of the van who talked constantly
