A great tour of the NW of Madeira - highly recommend. - Its hard to know where to start with a review for the whole day without missing something so.... overall - a really great day - from first communication right through to being dropped off at the end - no issues at all. Miguel changed the day to suit the weather and that was great - no rain and great views - lots of them. As others have said - its off the well used tourist route - and off road at times!!! Lots of stops to explain points of interest. The pre arranged lunch stop was an excellent choice and well worth doing. The morning coffee stop and afternoon Poncha stop equally great. It is clear to see that Miguel wants you to have the best day out and he did not disappoint - all of us felt we had seen parts of Madeira that we would have missed on a hotel tour or even a hire car - some of the roads are narrow and we live in N Devon! We are looking to book another tour when we return later this year. I like a bargain - was this a bargain? Yes 100%. IF you want to see a bit of Madeira that most people don't then give Miguel a call.

Another great day with Miguel - We’ve been doing trips with Miguel for several years now. We wouldn’t book with anyone else, as the days are so good. Always informative and relaxed, nothing is too much trouble, always something new. Suitable for all ages, even seniors like us!

Unique experience and well invested money - Great tour on the northwest side. Lovely offroad and fun to favor local cafes when stopping for coffee and poncha. Booking a tour with Miguel is well invested money, can not have such a unique experience with the charter companies. We were 4 (2 adults + 2 teenagers) and got our own jeep. Even though we drove off-road, we never felt unsafe.

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.
