What a great day! - Miguel was a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge about the island! He tailored the tour to my personal tastes and created an unforgettable experience. He truly knows Madeira like the back of his hand and is a very skilled jeep driver to boot. I will certainly hire him again on my next trip, and recommend anyone book a tour with him! You will not be disappointed!

Outstanding trip with Miguel - Our family of four – two adults and two older children – were so lucky to have booked a private jeep ride with Miguel, and we can only warmly recommend it to others. We were picked up in an old Portuguese military jeep, which was perfect for the purpose. After that we had an unforgettable tour around the west side of the island. We drove along steep roads, through small villages and on some wildly steep offroad stretches, which was a truly unique experience. Miguel has a huge knowledge of the island's nature and flora. He also knows the local weather conditions very well, which can change quickly. He adjusts the route if the weather requires it so you get the best experience. All in all a fantastic and unforgettable trip for all of us 4. We can always recommend Miguel Is Here for a private family trip on Madeira. We will definitely book Miguel again the next time we visit Madeira.

Amazing day seeing the best of Madeira courtesy of Miguel - Miguel is an excellent knowledgeable guide. He took us to places we would never have seen without him. Excellent lunch and coffee stops. We have done previous trips with him in other years but brought new family members this time. He answered all their questions included a Lavada walk. Allowed time for less able to get in and out of jeep to get full benefit of Madeira nature. Set up some superb photo opportunities too.

An exhilarating way to see the best of Madeira! - If you want to see Madeira but don't want to hire a car, then I would highly recommend Miguel's Jeep Tour. He can take up to 6 people in his jeep - we are a family of six so had the luxury of a private tour. Both my sons are in their 20's and they absolutely loved it. The off-road driving is such fun - you can stand up when not on the public roads, hold tight and enjoy the truly stunning mountain views. We were blessed with sunny weather and warm breeze. We had one of the full day tours, being picked up from our hotel at 9am. Included in our action packed day was: Information about the area, plants, history etc; Coffee stop; off-road driving (eek!), a 30 minute levada walk experience, lunch stop, swimming in the natural pools and also sandy beach/swimming opportunity, and finally, a local Poncha bar!! Honestly, an action packed, beautiful day with Miguel looking after us and making sure we had the best time. He is a one-man-band and his tours are unique - unlike the larger jeep tour companies on the island. If you get the chance, please book a tour with Miguel - you won't regret it

Best day in Madeira - We normally always pick out all Unpacked and then drive them off with a rental car, but for the northeast of the island we decided to go on a full-day tour with Miguel and were more than thrilled. The jeep could accommodate 6 people but to make it as comfortable as possible Miguel only offers tours for max. 4 people on. We were lucky enough to do our tour with a really nice older Scottish couple who are so enthusiastic about Madeira that they come back to the island every year. It wasn't her first tour with Miguel either. The tour itself was unique. Miguel showed us the most beautiful places and photo tops and told us a lot of interesting facts about the island. My highlight was the off-road route up the mountain and the freshly made poncha in a local bar. We generally felt very well off with him and would like to say thanks again here for all the restaurant tips he has sent us! We can really highly recommend the Safari!!:)
