Highly Recommended. - A fantastic way to see some of the highlights of the Island. Diogo was friendly, relaxed, and incredibly knowledgeable and couldn't do enough for us. He was also good enough to follow up with other suggestions for the rest of our holiday. Communication was straightforward and the vehicle was spotless. I think the tour offers excellent value for money.

Best way to visit Madeira’s main sites. - We had the best time with Ricardo our brilliant driver and guide. The downhill basket ride was great fun with a souvenir photo at the end. To be driven around and met at each visit made the whole experience very relaxing.

A must do tour when in Madeira - This is a must do in Madeira. Diogo is the best and we had 2 fabulous days of touring with him. The time flew by on our tour. We got to ride the famed toboggan (Diogo knew just when to get us there to avoid the lines), we saw the gardens and got a wonderful feel for the beauty of the island. Diogo was so pleasant and knowledgeable. We liked him so much that we booked a second tour with him to see the west side of the island the next day. Had we had more time in Madeira we would have booked a third tour with him to see the east side. 5 stars!!!!

A must do in Madeira - Diogo was amazing! He picked us up from our hotel and took us around to many of the highlights of the island. It was such an easy and comfortable way to explore. He knew just how to time it so we didn’t have to wait in line for the famed toboggan ride. We would highly recommend booking this experience. Diogo also offers tours of the west and east side of the island. He was an absolute pleasure and very knowledgeable.

Madeira tour. - Diogo our driver was so proud of where he lives. He took us on a 3 hour tour to anywhere we wanted to visit. We did the sled ride down the hill, village church (so picturesque), fishing village (had a snack), sky walk and scenery drive. Dropped us right back to the side of the ship. Diogo speaks fantastic English and we would highly recommend this tour to anybody. Well done Diogo.

Super customer service! - Our ship's itinerary changed and Diogo arranged for us to be picked up so we could still have an amazing tour! Thank you Diogo for helping us and hooking us up with Tiago! He was a real professional and his English was perfect! He took us to all the right spots and told us everything about Maderia! The fried espada fish and banana was delicious!

Fabulous trip - We got a recommendation for Diogo from a driver we had used in Madeira previously who was unable to help us on this occasion. And it was brilliant! Super! Had kept in touch beforehand, prompt at our pickup point at our hotel. Totally understood our wishes for the day. Couldn't have asked for better. And we all felt so safe with his driving ability. 5 star! See you and Luis next time. A pure joy to spend time with, sharing your love for Madeira and culture. And some banter as well. Amazing 👏 xxxx

100% recommend! - Diogo deserves all of the 5 star reviews and praise. I have no hesitation in recommending him. If you are considering booking a trip with Diogo, do so now! My husband and I initially booked the half-day central Madeira tour and we were not disappointed. We enjoyed the trip so much that we immediately booked another trip to see the eastern side of the island. On both trips, we were able to see parts of Madeira that we would not otherwise have seen. It was so much easier than hiring a car or participating in a group tour. Diogo is very relaxed and accommodating. No rigid timetable with lovely, easy conversation. Diogo has a comprehensive knowledge of Madeira. He is also very thoughtful and considerate and we felt very safe with his driving skills. Definitely a highlight of our time in Madeira! 100% recommend!
