Nuns & Valleys - a very enjoyable half day tour. - Excellent half day tour. We were a group of 6 family and friends and we all really enjoyed this tour. Punctual pickup from our hotel, our guide Lino was knowledgeable, experienced, enthusiastic and entertaining throughout the whole journey. Some off road driving, carried out confidently and safely and it really enhanced the experience.

A fabulous half day. - We loved the whole experience. Nelson, our guide, was really helpful, professional and knowledgeable. There were only 3 of us on our tour and we had plenty of time at each stop. Highly recommended.

A breathtaking tour with Green dragon tours - 5 out of 5. Diego was a brilliant tour leader stopping to show us all the plants, fruit the country has to offer. We had enough time to stop and roam around before going on to our next stop. Worth the morning or afternoon to see the beautiful sights of Madeira. Thank you.

First but not last Jeep Safari - Had a great time visiting Nun’s Valley, Pico Dos Barcelos, Curral Das Freiras and Pico Areeiro. Lino was very knowledgeable, gave us all the history and ensured we got the best viewpoints. Would definitely do another jeep safari…..best way to travel!

FANTASTIC GUIDE NUNO - After 30 years of coming to Madeira and enjoying many lovely experiences, a safari guided by Nuno was the crowing glory. Nuno’s attitude knowledge and experience patients friendliness was beyond exemplary. We had a fantastic half day tour. Thankyou Nuno. We would also like to thank our other 2 fellow travellers Adrian and his wife from the Isle of Man.

Nun’s Valley jeep tour - Miguel was a great host and guide and despite the bad weather in the mountains he made sure we had an enjoyable tour. Unfortunately we couldn’t see anything through the thick deep clouds but we did stop lower down for some special views. Miguel was knowledgeable about the trees and environment and the recent history of the people. Well done Green Devil Safaris.

Funny high exciting and cozy - Our guide (Lino) was very friendly and told a lot along the way he showed us the most beautiful places in a naughty way. The car had to be fixed because he did not switch so tof.He nevertheless brought us safely to our hotel.All in all a beautiful trip.

Check timings - Was booked for 830 and received many messages and reminders . Was greeted with a very rude driver calling us saying we had booked for 8am . We actually ready and met him then at 815 but felt uncomfortable initially. Trip was great though

Good 👍🏻 - Juan was a great guide but there was no pastry tasting or wicker factory as stated which was a shame.

Valley of the Nuns tour - Overall it was quite a good tour, unfortunately Juan was running late (he did inform us via email of this), but it seemed the tour was then rushed, missed out wicker basket viewing, journeys seemed erratic and rushing and speeding to next stop each time. We were sat in the back, so had a difficult view of surrounding scenery as roof was in eyeline, felt like we were in the cheap seal, while other 4 passengers paid the same and sat in comfort.
