Excellent Madeira tour company - We took three tours with this company, based on the great experience of the first tour to the Western part of the island. The guides (Diego, Tony, and Norbert) were excellent at providing interesting information in a fun manner which added to the enjoyment of the day. The tours covered all of the major areas of interest at a leisurely pace. Very clear guidance was given at all spots on where to go and what to look for while there. Excellent driving skills made the journey on the mountain roads very smooth! The company was very good at communicating the time and location of the designated pick up spot. Excellent experience with this company.

Full day with a variety of experiences - We had a great day - our guide was friendly, fun and full of knowledge. We got to experience the rugged west side of the island and enjoyed a traditional lunch.

Highly recommend - A brilliant trip with our guide (I'm really sorry but I forgot to catch his name) who went above and beyond taking us to all the places listed and more! He was super knowledgeable and passionate about the island and it was great learning about it from someone who loves Madeira! We got a real feel for what the island is about and I would highly recommend this tour if you are looking for one. We were going to rent a car but wanted to avoid the hassle in the end. Having gone on this trip, my advice is there's no point in renting a car when tours like this are available.
Ps...We read a recent review who gave it a lower rating due to having to pay for entrance tickets to things like the skywalk and pools...this baffles us as if the tour did that, for this price, they wouldn't earn a penny for what is a long days work for the guides!

Unforgettable - We made two tours with Diego, who reminded us how a Guide can change a stay. Indeed, if the island is fantastic, Diego is too: he shared his many knowledge with great professionalism and humor. Whether as a Guide or as a person, Diego is extraordinary. THANK YOU!

West side tour - Our guide Nelson was very informative, friendly. He changed the route slightly due to weather and went the scenic routes so we could enjoy our drinks when it was quieter. All round a great day. Thank you Nelson

Great way to see the West of this amazing island. - We had a great day exploring the west and north of the island with our guide, Guilherme ( AKA Christiano Ronaldo!) who was very friendly and informative throughout the trip. And a great driver too, negotiating the steep and winding roads and safely avoiding random cows wandering in the middle of the road! We had the opportunity to see some amazing sights as we explored the west side, stopping along the way in some beautiful costal villages. And the Sky Walk was well worth the 2 euros for the fantastic view 580 metres above sea level. Our final stop was in the Fanal Forest which was up in the clouds. Very atmospheric but also freezing cold so don’t forget to take a long sleeved jacket or jumper! For a whole day’s sightseeing trip, we thought it was excellent value and would definitely recommend.

Great day out, fantastic value. - Going from the bright sunshine of Porto Moniz up to the fog of Fanal forest was incredible, fantastic day tour, highly recommend. Loads of time at stops for photos and lunch at Porto Moniz in the beautiful sunshine was amazing. Ronaldo joked his way around the west side of the island but was very friendly and extremely helpful, answering any questions we had

Amazing! - Amazing views and a very informative trip, we had the honour of having Luca be our guide and he was extremely knowledgeable about the island and history, it was so good we done the east side tour 2 days later with Luca again, couldn’t recommend the tour and the guide enough!

Feeling misled - My booking said clearly the locations we were attending and that it included FREE Admission. When I arrived at the famous view point, I was told that a fee had to be paid for my entire family. Conveniently told by the guide that the fees have now been added compare to when I booked online. Whether it was Viator or the tour company, someone should have advised me. Even Pont Moniz swimming area had a fee. I have in writing that it was free admission and yet I ended up paying for my family to enjoy the key events promised. I should be reimbursed the fee given my situation. Disappointed Norm Pacheco
