Antonio is your guide! - Fantastic experience for sunrise above the clouds. We were picked up well outside of funchal for now extra cost by Antonio and he was so informative throuout the drive. The views from the top of the mountain at sunrise were simply breathtaking. Antonio is the best guide you can have, and at such a great price! Would highly recommend!

Stunning... - Stunning and 100% recommend this trip with our tour guide. Knowledgeable and walked us to the spot he thought was best. Advised us to wrap up warm before we set off and very kindly lent us his coat too. Prompt to pick us up, good driver and gave us the time we wanted. Thank you so much. It made our holiday 👍

Spectacular Madeira - My wife and I engaged Antonio Fequeira for 4hr private tour in Funchal Madeira on the wonderful 101 Routes Madeira 4x4 tour covering spectacular mountain tops with some surprise adventures thru steep local residential roads & terraced farm yards. We had a beautiful sunny day following his suggested itinerary and really enjoyed the tour, itinerary, pace and his hospitality. Highly recommended.

Spontaner Trip zum Pico do Arieirro - Antonio was a very stilled driver, he picked us up in time and had a lot of little storiees about Madeira and former times to tell. It was very interessting to hear all the stories and we felt very safe all the time. i can really recommend this guide and this tour without any hesitation. if we had more time left on Madeira we surely had booked another tour with him. The trip Was an outstanding and wonderful experience and worth the price. The he took us to a another view where we walked along a levada and we enjoyed it to the fullest. it also was an incredible view upwards to the pico. Try it and you won't regret it.
