走进真正的马德拉 A Journey Beyond the Tourist Trails - Miguel 是一位非常出色、值得信赖的认证导游,热情、友善、专业! 他带我们走进真正的马德拉,探索美丽又不拥挤的秘境,全家尤其是孩子们都玩得非常开心。 他的贴心推荐与旅程前后顺畅、无负担的沟通,让这次旅程格外难忘。强烈推荐! Miguel , an exceptional certified guide , warm, friendly, and truly dedicated ! He showed us the real Madeira, bringing us to beautiful, less-touristy spots our whole family (with teen and young kids ) loved. His thoughtful recommendations ( beyond his tour ) and fuss-free communication , made the entire experience smooth and unforgettable. Highly recommended!

Hands down, the most fun - Of all the activities we did while visiting MADIERA, this was hands down the most fun. Miguel knows all the details and smaller roads and we had a blast! Because we were the only people in the keep, it felt more personable than the big tourist buses that were there. Can’t imagine what our trip would have been like without this experience

4×4 North west tour with Miguel -An unforgettable experience - An excellent private jeep tour through the northwestern part of the island! Stunning landscapes, real adventure, and hidden spots we would never have found on our own or with a regular tour operator. Miguel was a fantastic guide — friendly, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what he does, making sure everything was perfect. Thank you so much, Miguel! I highly recommend this experience!

Fab family jeep tour - We had an amazing time on Miguel's North West UMM jeep tour, it really was a highlight of our holiday! The day was full of so many beautiful views by a highlight was definitely the levada walk above the clouds. Can't believe we managed to fit so much in a day and it didn't feel rushed at all. So much more relaxing than trying to do similar in a hire car! Miguel was great company, and we really enjoyed our day with him. If we come back to Madeira we'll definitely book another trip.

Landscapes, more intimate tour, Miguel's sympathy, away from confusion - An incredible experience for the raw northwest of Madeira. Miguel is an incredible, deep knowledge of the unknown wood, which takes us to the most picturesque points of the island, by breathtaking paths and better... away from the tourist routes. Each corner is a consolation for the eyes. It was the best spent money in Madeira. And next time we come, I won't want another tour but with Miguel. A spectacular Cover.

Amazing full day private tour with Miguel - This tour was so amazing. Miguel is a brilliant tour guide. He took us to so many cool out of the way spots for amazing photo opportunities and much less crowded than a lot of other tour operators. His knowledge of the island and all the secret areas made the tour so much more authentic, which is what we were looking for. We got to sample some poncha in a local bar, had a coffee up in the mountains, sampled some bananas from local farmers along the way. We stopped in Porto Moniz for a swim in the natural pools, saw the gorgeous Fanal Forest, did a levada walk high in the mountains and saw some amazing waterfalls.We loved every minute. Miguel also gave us some great suggestions for other parts of the island to see and great places to eat. Miguel's tour was the highlight of our trip. We would highly recommend. We will most definitely book another tour the next time we visit beautiful Madeira 😍

A fantastic trip beyond the usual, with sympathetic Miguel as a guide and confident driver👍 - Good communication at the forefront. We were picked up as agreed. Then the tour went through local and low traffic roads to a fantastic viewpoint over the island to the northwest. Miguel had chosen a day where we got the most out of the weather. Delightful stops along the way, loaded living walks and delicious lunch in Porto Moniz with swimming in the natural pool. We will especially remember the drive up and through the Funal area👍 Miguelishere is highly recommended.

Swimming in natural pools, dancing under waterfalls, walking the lavada walk - Miguel was amazing, knowledgeable, and just an absolute pleasure! We had the best time exploring the island, getting beautiful pictures (which he takes too). I would recommend this tour and Miguel to anyone visiting the island. You can't miss out on this!! He even provides you with local recommendations after the tour to continue your fun in the city! You could not ask for a better tour guide! I will definitely be visiting again and booking with Miguel! 😄

All round Excellent. 5 ⭐️ - Had a fabulous day with Miguel exploring the hidden Madeira, off the beaten track. Highly exceeded our expectations. Lots of stops, view points during the tour and an excellent place to eat lunch. Miguel was fantastic, knowledgeable and very friendly. Travelling in his jeep was lots of fun. We would highly recommend anyone booking one of these tours and we will definitely been booking another tour when we return to Madeira.
