Amazing off-road tour - This tour was absolutely amazing! I was searching for a smaller company because I thought the tour would be more personalized and that is exactly what we got. Not only did Miguel show us beautiful scenery, he also showed us the culture of the land. He explained the way people live on Madeira and even allowed us to see firsthand the banana farms! However, he made the tour exciting and fun, there were no dull moments during the tour. The off-road parts were also very fun and it felt safe the whole time. Miguel also gave advice as to what places to visit both during and after the tour. When we reached out with questions a few days after the tour, he supplied us with answers. All in all, this tour was wonderful! I couldn’t recommend it enough.

Top excursion with a Jeep to see the real Madeira!! - We had a great excursion with Miquel. During a jeep safari from Funchal he showed us beautiful places. I already knew Madeira, but I must say that this tour allowed me to see the real Madeira. Real life, off-road, via Levada's, a Poncha in a local bar, banana plantations and beautiful views of both the coast and inland. Wonderful in the jeep, where you can stand during the ride. Nice and adventurous. My family was on the island for the first time and Miquel gave them a good first impression. We will definitely go back for a longer holiday on this beautiful island. Miquel is a top guide, knows everything about the island, explains a lot and listens to the wishes of the guests.

Country life in Madeira - There were four adults of us on this trip in Miguel's army jeep. We got a lot of information about the life and livelihood of the islanders and the history of the island. We went to farms to get to know different plants and how many different things are cultivated on a small piece of land. We also heard that there is not yet a road to every place, but supplies are transported along levadas. With the Jeep, it was also possible to drive on old forest roads and smaller roads that cannot be reached by tourist buses. The trip was great and fun. The weather also favored us and we were able to open the roof. It was a bit of a challenge to climb onto the jeep, luckily there was a small stool that helped with climbing. We definitely recommend this trip to everyone who wants to get to know that little bit stranger corner of Madeira.

Amazing private tour guide! - We had a great experience! Miguel was super informative and showed us the most scenic and beautiful views of Funchal’s mountains, sea cliffs, and Nun’s Valley. Miguel really takes the time to teach you about the island and takes you places others don’t typically go. He took us off-roading to show us the lavadas and took the time to show us the various fruits and vegetables grown in the areas. One of my favorite parts was when we stopped by the village bar and he had us try the local drinks; we were able to see how homemade ponchas are made and they are incredibly tasty! Miguel also took time to take photos of us with the beautiful views. We also visited the skywalk and the fishing boats in Camara de Lobos. I highly recommend Miguel. He really personalized our tour and it was absolutely fantastic! We highly recommend him.

Essence of Madeira captured... - Wow, what an experience! Miguel is so knowledgeable on the culture, vegetation and way of life in Madeira. We watched a local make the traditional poncho and got to taste test it. I loved walking through the banana plantations and under the grape vine canapies. He took us to some amazing lookouts, away from the tourist hotspots. We saw the real Madeira and how the locals live up in the mountains...coupled with some off road 4 x 4 driving made it such a fun experience. Well worth the time and money

Great local tour - A great tour. Miguel was very knowledgable and explained at the start what we'd be doing. One moment we'd be on a main road, the next down a local back street or off-roading. We saw so many fruits and saw some of the levanda walks which we'd like to do in future Some great local knowledge and recommendations for lunch. We stopped at a local bar for coffee and some pontcha which was a lot nicer than what we'd tried before. The tour was in an old Portuguese army jeep which added the the experienced and definitely needed for the sharp inclines and off roading. Miguel often stopped to show us the vines or gardens with multiple crops growing. Miguel was friendly and a great tour guide. Would recommend and would do a longer tour, earlier in our holiday next time.

Unique experience - Excursions very well prepared and explained in detail and with great enthusiasm. The shortcuts chosen are not always easy, but the beauty of the experience really lies in these details, as well as the stunning view that reveals itself with each new stage.
