Memorable experience - Having visited the West side of the island with Dino a couple of days earlier, we were excited and looking forward to this trip. Neither tour guide or island let us down. The East side felt totally different than the previous tour. Lots of lush green valleys and countryside. The views were out of this world. Dino again took time to explain all about the areas we visited and added in lots of extra details. We learnt so much about the area and its landscape and culture. All stops described in itinerary were enjoyable and interesting. The lunchtime restaurant stop with food was fantastic, the food was amazing. We were not planning on eating full meals, but the menu and food on offer were stunning, so we couldn't resist. Great tour, not rushed or hassled, Dino looked after my elderly Mum and Mother in law really well during the trip. It was definitely a great experience, which has left us with some great memories. Thank you

Enthusiastic driver - We had already managed to be some couple, so we got a private driver and guide. He brought it full of enthusiasm and drove very well. He told a lot at a rapid pace

An East feast! - A wonderful experience of the East side of Madeira! East is a feast! Lush, pretty, especially if you can catch it on a great weather day. Definitely advise checking ahead with the weather to get the most from the tour. Dino was such a fabulous guide. Highly recommend.

Amazing day! - We had such an awesome day with Dino and we felt so fortunate that we were the only people booked on the trip so it was our own private trip. Dino went out of his way to make sure we saw some incredible sights and we are very much looking forward to our trip to the West side of the island!

Amazing scenery & amazing guide - What a fantastic day our driving arrived on time and took us on a wonderful trip around the east side of the island. His driving was very safe and we felt comfortable throughout the day. His local knowledge was excellent and his English very good. He engaged us in conversation and we enjoyed his company. The island is very beautiful and he was clearly very proud of his country. Thank you for a great trip

East trip with Deano. - Very informative guide Deano. Explained everything especially the local foods, wines, rum and interesting facts about the island. Took us to a lovely restaurant where we had a nice meal. All in all worth doing. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the island. Bravo Deano. Two very satisfied customers.

Amazing days out - I don't normally write reviews but my husband and I had such a wonderful time with Dino that I have to praise him and the company. We went on 2 trips with Dino (the East Island Tour and the West Island Tour). As soon as I made the bookings I received a confirmation and time for pick ups - so efficient. Dino gave us lots of information about the sights and just the right amount of time in each location to look at everything, not too long and not too short. He made excellent recommendations for restaurants for lunch. This company only offers small tours with 6-8 persons maximum so we travelled in comfort. The best thing is the price they charge: no more than tours that travel in a minibus! Madeira is a beautiful island and we will come back.
