Great day and great guide - This was a fantastic day in no small part to the guide who was actually called Lionel Ritchie and Hello, he is the one you’re looking for - knowledgeable, funny and with a real love of his country. The day ended with an astonishing view from the mountains above the clouds. Recommended.

Madiera east tour - We had Renato as our guide today on the Madiera East tour. Pickup was prompt, Renato was very entertaining and informative. Stops included a rum distillery, town of Santana with time for lunch and touring around the traditional houses, and a few other stops for walking about and photo ops as we wound our way up to Pico Do Ariero at height of 1818 metres. Enjoyed our day and would recommend the tour and this company

Fantastic full day tour of the East of Madeira with Feeling Madeira Tours - Very enjoyable East tour of Madeira. We were fortunate to have Lionel as our guide. He made the day fun and informative. The final part of the tour, ending at 1.8 km above sea level at a stunning mountain peak and being above the clouds was surreal and absolutely amazing. Highly recommend Feeling Madeira tours, especially with Lionel as your guide.

Feeling Madeira Tours is a great company to book your tours with - We booked the full day East Tour with Feeling Tours and we had a lovely day The vehicle was a 9 seater Merck and very comfortable. The guide we had was very knowledgeable and very entertaining. Nothing was too much trouble. He was disappointed for us when we had limited views at the top of the mountains due to mist so to make up for this he made several unscheduled stops on our way back. We have been on previous tours in Funchal with an other company on a tiny mini bus with drivers who didn't cover stops that were on the schedule. If you are thinking of booking a trip we would not hesitate to recommend booking Feeling Madeira Tours whch is based in the Marina Shopping Mall.

Our advice: get around Madeira with RENATO. - We went on 2 tours with Renato - 1 west, 1 east. Each tour was awesome due to Renato‘s most informative comments on Madeiran people, life, agriculture, history, sights, whatever. We enjoyed every moment of these tours, as some fellow tourist said „It‘s just great because Renato knows everything!“

Magical & Endearing Madeira East tour, with Feeling Madeira - We had a Magical & Endearing Madeira East tour, with Feeling Madeira with guide Renata who had a fun sense of humour was knowledgeable & caring. Nice statue of Cristo Rei in Garajau,followed by stop at Santana which proved to be one of the most colorful villages in Madeira. At Ribeiro Frio our abs on mini bus caused a fault & broke down, Renata organised a replacement . The communication to the group who went off in 3 directions was weak , focus should have been on the group 1st then van - however all worked out & the last part with awesome views & scenery at Pico do Areeiro .
