Super trip - It was a great trip, sometimes a little short stops for it at lunch too long but all in all it was good. You see a lot that you can't achieve on your own. Would book it again.

Beautiful discovery of Madeira - We participated in the EAST and WEST tour with the same JOAO guide. We particularly thank him for his great knowledge, which he has shared with us with passion. We appreciated his kindness, availability, punctuality and humor. All its qualities offered us beautiful and interesting discoveries of Madeira. We highly recommend these comfortable NPV tours. THANK YOU

Comfortable, interesting and fun - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Renato (who is definitely NOT George!) He was friendly, enthusiastic and happy to share his local knowledge of the plants and flowers as well as the various interesting places we visited. He was also a careful and confident driver on the fairly hair-raising roads we were diverted onto when the highway was shut. We were lucky to have a glorious clear day and the views from Pico do Areeiro were spectacular. Would definitely recommend this company and this guide.

Tour south end of Madeira. - This was a great tour! Spectacular views and our guide, Lionel, offered so much to the experience. Excellent guide! I am only here for 6 days and I wanted to see as much as possible without using a day that didn’t deliver. I highly recommend this tour, especially Lionel our guide today.

Excellent informative trip with a lovely driver - Paulo was an excellent driver who took us round the Eastern end of Madeira, over the mountains and up to Picos de Areiera. He provided a cheerful commentary giving loads of information and was kind and thoughtful to his passengers.
