A great snapshot of madeira - Fantastic tour with Gil, very knowledgeable about the island and great views. Small group was lovely too, could ask as many questions as we liked. The off roading section was particularly fun. Would highly recommend as a way to pass a few hours.

A Half Day Tour from Funchal over the Mountains - We had a most enjoyable tour up to Pico Areeiro with our guide Michael. His enthusiasm, good nature and great knowledge about the island really made the Trip . The views of the mountains actually above the clouds and the variety of trees and plants to be seen were spectacular.
We were also impressed by the efficiency of the local agents, Island Discovery who quickly answered any question from us.
Just one note , we made just three stops with 15-20 minutes at each stop. An extra 5 or 10 minutes at the first two would have been good .
