A Great Day in Madeira - The tour was a great from the beginning to the end. The tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable about the island of Madeira. The stops for viewing and taste sampling were the most memorable. We had an awesome driver who was great at maneuvering the hills. Great value for the cost !

Breathtaking Madeira - Our guide, Patricia picked up at the Lisbon cruise ship terminal for our Madeira tour. There were six of us on this tour but unfortunately, we all had to really cram into the small vehicle. Patricia was apologetic and we made the most of it. And made new friends at the same time!
For me, the two highlights of the Madeira tour were:
1. The walk around the beautiful fishing town, Câmara de Lobos on Madeira's south coast.
2. The unexpected breathtaking panorama of Miradouro Eira do Serrado Viewpoint with its picturesque green mountainous landscape overlooking the village of Curral das Freiras.
We highly recommend this tour! Be sure to ask for Patricia.

Cancellation too late - we were at sea on the 21st so when we arrived in Madeira n 22nd we were expecting to be met at the cruise terminal by a car and driver as we had been phoned by the company before we left uk to advise that as we were the only ones on the tour a car would surfice. After waiting over an hour at the cruise terminal and trying to phone the supplier to no avail we had to find our own way around Madeira...when we got a signal for the phone we found out that our tour had been cancelled the day before whilst we were at sea!!!. Not good- ok we received a refund but it cost us more finding our own way around and a lot of worry....not good Viator we have used your company for years and have always praised it but you let us down badly this time.
