Super trip - A great way to see the east of the island. Our driver was excellent and spoke good English. It was a dull and cloudy day so a lot of the views went unseen. The lunch stop was a tourist stop but he phoned ahead with our order and service was excellent and great value at €20 including wine etc. Highly recommended.

You will definitely enjoy it. Just be prepared for all the 4 seasons of Madeira. - We had a great day out to the Eastern part of the island with two other couples. Our guide, Silvio, was a very friendly, funny, knowledgeable guy with great driving skills. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, very picturesque scenery, fantastic company and all the local drinks and food throughout this 8h trip. The guide was very punctual and polite as well. Really recommend!

East Safari Tour - Highly recommended. Full stop!
Silvio, our driver and guide, was perfect. Great laugh all day.
Off Road is his forte..!
Pick a day when its decent weather as the first stop on the Pico mountain is chilly - remember the jumper and coats as at 1900m its always windy!
Great day out, so ask for Silvio if you have a sense of humour as he will be right on it. 😁👍

A fun day with a great guide - The trip was amazing. Our guide, Miguel was very knowledgeable, from the local flora and fauna to the history and agricultural practices.
Pico do Areeiro was unfortunately closed because of snow, but we tried to go for it, and turned at the closed gate, high up in the mountains. It was super foggy, so there would be no views anyway.
The off-road bits were fun, after the rain stopped, Miguel opened the roof, so we could stand up in the car while on the forest roads.
FYI for future customers, the rum tasting includes one type (of delicious) rum, but if you expect a proper tasting with explanation and multiple varieties, this is not your tour. This did not leave me dissatisfied, but it wasn't clear to me from the description what to expect at this stop.

Great family fun - Despite the Pico road being closed due to snow, we had a great time. Great way to see Madeira. We particularly enjoyed the short hike to Balcoes. And the sky walk.

Great tour - Excellent way to see the island... we started with sunshine, on Pico do Arieiro it was misty and cold, so unfortunately you could not see anything. Further north, it was still raining/ drizzling, but this didn't dampen the mood. Levada walk was great, not long and very easily walkable. Santana was too touristy for me.
Ponta do sao Lourenco was bathing in sunshine, great views... perfect!

A great experience well worth the cost - We thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to the east of the island with Tiago. He is an incredibly good driver and handled all the difficult roads of Madeira and parking situations perfectly. He was also very informative on everything from the history to the flora to the industry. The weather was not the best but it was still a fun and interesting day out and he looked after us all really well. I only mark the tour down slightly because the seats in the back of the jeep were pretty uncomfortable and the view from those seats a bit restricted.
