Wonderful experience - This is a must. Dad (he is 87) and I were on a Cruise - we were met immediately by Luis and it was the most fantastic tour I have ever taken. It was so much fun. Luis is so full of knowledge regarding Madeira and the surrounding area. I would not hesitate in recommending this tour. PS... the other cruise visitors were soooo envious when we told them what we had done and where we had been.

Sidecar Excursion with these guys! Is a MUST-DO! - Myself, son and his best friend viewed Madeira by sidecar. We had the BEST time. The guys took us to a local cafe, showing us the most amazing views, taste the local snacks. Educating us about the Island, all the way. They were so kind and really lovely to hang out with, on this excursion, we didnt want it to end. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thanks Phil & Nat, from Cathy, Billy & Cole xx

Incredibly fun and interesting!!! - The company was top notch to work with- we received a welcome email from owner (after booking) with concise instructions, bike/sidecar in great condition, uniforms and follow up email with bonus surprise. The ride itself was our first of its kind (ages 62 and 54) and I would definitely recommend. What a great way to see the sights! Our guide Nuno was very informative and a genuinely good guy- we felt safe and comfortable the whole time. When we come back to the island, which is a must- we will definitely book them again.

Motorbike and sidecar tour of Funchal - Just an update to my previous review. I have now received my photos from Filipe. He sent them straight after our tour but I had a problem with my email and wasn't receiving them. Thanks again Filipe for your patience sending them and thanks again to Nuno for a brilliant tour. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will definitely do it again when we are next in funchal.

Different type of tour - Great day with Filipe who picked us up from the hotel. Rather than do downtown which would be busy he suggested we go off into the mountains on the west side. We stopped at various places for photo opportunities. Filipe was wry informative, friendly and accommodating. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Fabulous trip such fun - If you are looking for something different and exciting to tour the island of Madeira this is must. Great company to deal with responding to all emails promptly together with providing the great Nuno our driver. You can reach great heights and views as opposed to the normal touristy things here. Don't forget a jacket but we have just got back and have a real buzz from the trip

Birthday treat! - A fantastic way to see the island by night. Nonu was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the island. He was very chilled and didn’t rush the tour and was happy to drop us off directly outside our restaurant. Loved every minute! Would thoroughly recommend and can’t wait to do it all over again!

Unique experience in Funchal - It was our first experience on a sidecar and Nuno has been a wonderful guide. He knows a lot about Madeira history and has tons of good adresses to share. I would definitely recommend this agency to anyone looking for a nice overview of Funchal as well as nice spot views of the city. We have been very impressed by their professionalism.

See Funchal from the side! - This is such an amazing and fun way to see the city of Funchal. We booked the 'downtown' tour which is normally done after dark, but Madiera Sidecar Tours allowed us to tailor it in order to do it during the day. We arrived at the designated meeting point at 10:30am and were met by our guide Nuno on a fabulous Ural motorcyle and sidecar combination. My wife and I took it in turns to ride at first in the sidecar and then pillion and Nuno transported us safely and expertly through the fantastically steep and narrow roads of Funchal. We own a motorcycle and sidecar outfit ourselves so we know how much fun they are, but it was even more fun to have someone else do all the hard work and Nuno did that brilliantly. This is a highly recommended tour – do it, you won't regret it!!
