Outstanding tour with Miguel! - Miguel was a great tour guide to show me views that other tours do not show. A lot of information on real life in Madeira. Including how locals manage living up in the mountains with limited road access. I learned a lot and enjoyed the whole experience.

Miguel’s Jeep Tours are the best! - Amazing jeep tour with my mother - her first time to Madeira and Miguel made sure she saw the ‘real deal’ including an impromptu stop at a local bar where we sampled poncha and made friends with the locals. Miguel is so personal, positive and an excellent guide - this is my 3rd tour with him and I would never choose anyone else - he is the best!

Great day with Miguel! We had so much fun and learned a lot. Look forward to touring with Miguel again! - Best day with Miguel. We had to delay our tour due to rain. Miguel kept in touch sending weather updates and was totally flexible. I appreciated his honestly in that touring in the rain would not be fun nor would we see any of the sites well. Luckily, it cleared up and we were on the way. The tour exceeded our expectations. We laughed, smiled and learned! Stopped at a great local bar for some fresh poncha, went off roading in the clouds, and saw stunning views. Look forward to touring with Miguel again!

Best activity in Madeira - My family of four spent a full month in Madeira and Miguel's jeep tour was one of the top three highlights. Miguel is smart, personable and crazy knowledgeable about pretty much every aspect of Madeira. He could engage with adults and young kids alike. We did a half day tour, made multiple stops at levadas and lookout points, and one for a snack/poncha. We felt like we actually got a slice Madeiran life rather than seeing the more commonly trafficked areas. I have already recommended this tour to several people. The ride itself felt safe, even when scaling very steep hills. Miguel is a safe driver and the equipment itself was sturdy and in impeccable condition. I would do this tour again if I am ever back in Madeira.

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.
