Fantastic time - We chose Val's tours after reading the positive reviews and we're so glad that we did. We did both the East and West tours on consecutive days. Both days we saw so many sights. The tours were tailored so that we avoided crowds and also got to see local places off the usual tourist track. All members of the family had a fantastic time. Both of our children have autism and their needs were accommodated well. The off roading was lots of fun, the cafes we were taken to for lunch were great, and we saw so many places we would never have managed to visit had we tried to do this independently. Val provided lots of interesting information. We highly recommend both East and West tours. Definitely the highlight of our stay in Madeira.

Def go local! - We had the best two tours with Val. We did one focusing on the East and one in the West. Showed us places we never would have found or been able to drive on her own. Helped us avoid the crowds and gave great advice for places to visit on our own. I would book a tour on the first day you can and enjoy Val’s advice when touring by yourself. I would also recommend booking directly and he offers a discount for multi day tours.

A fascinating insight into the cultural and natural wonders of eastern Madeira - Val offered us a fascinating trip around the east of the island that included exploring some of the most interesting towns in this area (such as Santa Cruz, Machico and Santana) as well as the opportunity to enjoy the natural wonders of eastern Madeira. We especially appreciated the efforts Val made to find us quieter places of beauty and the wealth of knowledge he was able to share about the natural, cultural and political history of the island. Our teenage sons also very much enjoyed the thrill of driving off-road and being able to enjoy rooftop views from the jeep. Overall, we enjoyed the tour so much that we booked a second tour with Val to the West of the island which proved similarly rich and memorable. Without question, exploring the island with Val and sharing his knowledge of Madeira was the highlight of our visit.

Awesome trip with a real local guide to see places you've never seen before! - Definitely the best way to explore Madeira and get awesome tips for the rest of your trip. We had an amazing first day on Madeira with Valdemar and his 4WD car - you'll definitely see places, you'd never see on your own. We got so many tips for our vacation, that it was worth every single euro and Valdemar is a really great guy!

Amazing trip for the whole family - Winding roads through green hills of east Madeira, passing by small villages and farms. Stopping at a miradouro, taking in the breathtaking ocean views and exploring hidden levada trails. Beautiful scenery, variety of fruits and a lot of positivity from Valdemar. Highly recommended!

Fantastic tour, very knowledgeable and great guy. - Really great trip, Val was really attentive and personable. He’s got genuine and deep knowledge of the island and real pride in his country, which came across and was appreciated and refreshing to hear
He makes you feel like he’s there for you. He did his homework on us and really tailored the tour, down to the freshest poncha.
Worth noting this service wasn’t a one off and I was introduced by my son who went a few year back and also had a great experience with Val. Would definitely go again.

Absolutely amazing tour! - In 8 hours we got a lot of unforgettable impressions - we saw places which we never would come to otherwise, hidden gems of Madeira, astonishing views and we got tons of information about history, culture, traditions, food etc. Val, our guide, is a brilliant driver and fantastic person, he makes sure everyone is happy. If you only have time for one tour while here - choose any tour with Val, it's so worth it!

8 hours of pure joy - The most spectacular tour ever! We've seen so much under 8 hours, I'll need several days to process all impressions. Val (our guide) is amazing person - so much knowledge of Madeira and so skilful driver! He took us places we would never find otherwise! We're so grateful!

A beautiful tour through Madeira's east - Valdemar drove us safely through the east of Madeira on what were at times adventurous routes. He had a lot to tell us and was able to answer all of our questions in detail. His German is excellent.
With his driving skills and the four-wheel drive car, we were able to discover many places that you can't get to with a rental car. He was happy to adapt the tour to our needs. We were able to try super delicious Poncha and ate really traditional Madeiran food.
I can only recommend Valdemar and this tour in particular.
