Once in a life time experience - I didn't really know what to expect when we first started, but OOHHH what an experience!! Mary and Ricardo are a great team, super friendly, very knowledgeable. I don't know how but they managed to accommodate all of our needs. Very once did I feel rushed in anyway. All if our stops were magical, even the rides to each destination was so much fun. ( Mary, our driver is a blast) Highly recommend!!

Beyond thrilled with Marie and Nature Connection Tours - Marie was an amazing guide on our east North east day trip! She is very informative, sweet and happy to accommodate our requests. We had exclusive viewpoints and unique experiences for our group. We had time to really take in all of the stops and never felt rushed. I highly recommend Ricardo and Marie and will use this Nature Connection for our trips back to Madeira. Thank you Ricardo and Marie!!

Great scenery and a great tour company - Had a great day with Ricardo from Nature Comnection Tours. Saw some wonderful scenery. Yes, there were some classic tour spots you could drive to yourself, but Ricardo used many of the old roads and with a mic and speaker set, he was able to provide lots of knowledge and information along the way and allowing us to stare in wonder at the landscape. Having grown up in Madeira but also previously working abroad in the tourism industry, he knows what people want on their trips. Lots of old road driving to see the scenery and a few off road tracks too. All along the way, Ricardo's driving was easygoing and steady, Not like your taxi ride from the airport! Our tour took a bit longer than the scheduled time. It was great that Ricardo didn't rush us to get back at the set time, but knew the things we liked and would rather take a bit longer than cut short our tour. A real sense of appreciation and a genuine thank you from Ricardo to our group at the last stop point. A wonderful day and would certainly recommend Nature Connection Tours.

10/10 would recommend - Ricardo made this day a very special experience for us. Even before the tour he advised us quickly and super about parking. He was very punctual and we felt right at home as he welcomed us from the beginning with his warm and humorous manner. Along the way, he took a lot of time to explain everything from the plant world to the history of Madeira to current topics that keep the inhabitants busy. He also showed us many wonderful insider tips, where we could mostly enjoy time in peace without further tourists. You can tell that these tours are a passion for Ricardo, he carries it outwards that it is important to him to offer us a fulfilling, eventful day.
