Best day out⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - My wife and I booked this sunrise tour and had the best day out. We were picked up by our driver Nuno then collected to lovely girls from Latvia on route to our start point. Nuno is a great guy, so much fun and has good knowledge, we stopped for coffee on our way then arrived at Pico Arieiro in plenty of time for sunrise Nuno picked the perfect spot to watch. Then we went for a nice walk through a levada and were met at the otherside, on this walk we met in with two women from USA who we shared a poncha with at 9am🤣 they offered us to go with their driver Hugo as they had booked a full day tour which we accepted, we said farewell to Nuno and our friends from Latvia and spent the rest of the day with Hugo and our american chums and had a hoot of a day🍹☀️ Highly recommend this company for day tours💯

Great tour , even though the weather played spoilsport - We loved our sunrise drive with a small group. Unfortunately the weather didn’t permit us to see the sunrise at pico de arreiro, but our guide Fernando improvised & took us for a view near the ocean& to see some other amazing views.

Sunrise tour - My friends and I had a great time on this tour, our guide Fernando was a real local from Madeira and he was very knowledgeable and trustworthy! I highly recommend this tour! The views of the sunrise was so magical. Then we went to a local coffee spot and then a walk to another viewpoint which was also amazing! Thank you Fernando!

Superb sunrise tour with Fernando - We had Fernando for our guide for the sunrise tour. He was simply outstanding. He loves showing people around his country which he is passionate about. The tour itself was different to most tours. It was personal and genuine. The scenery was amazing.

Sunrise Tour with Fernando - Awesome experience with Fernando. We met up with him in Funchal and he took us up to the peak. Got us to the perfect spot at the right time. It can be a bit chaotic if it's your first time, so having Fernando guide us really helped. We did a quick levada walk and got some local breakfast. But in addition to that, Fernando taught us a lot about Madeira, bananas, and is really fun.

Amazing experience, peaceful sunrise and beautiful forest walk - We had an amazing time on this trip. It was one of the highlights of our week in Madeira. Our guide Nuno, was fun and chatty cheering everyone up after the early start and introducing everyone. We are a family of 3 and we were joined by a couple from London. He got us to a great spot to watch the sunrise. Truly beautiful. We also really enjoyed the walk to Balcoes, another stunning spot. Our morning was relaxed and we weren't rushed at any point, free to wander and enjoy at our own pace. We loved the Pastel de Natas at the coffee stop near Balcoes. Nuno was friendly and informative throughout telling us the history of the island, and his personal stories of life in Funchal made the morning more fun for my 11 yr old daughter, keeping her laughing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nuno & Hit the Road. Thanks for a great trip.
