JJ knows his stuff - JJ was an excellent driver and a fun guide. He was able to answer every question the group had and I suspect has the power to control local weather.

Unforgettable Day Exploring Madeira! - We had the most fantastic day on the west and northwest Jeep Safari! Our guide, Ricardo, was brilliant — knowledgeable, funny, and so passionate about Madeira. We saw so many beautiful spots we’d never have found ourselves and learned so much about the island’s history, culture, and levadas. An absolute highlight of our trip — highly recommend! And brilliant value for money. It allowed us to see so many wonderful things about Madeira we would otherwise have had no idea about. I think it would be an amazing tour for all ages.

An excellent day - We could not fault the wonderful day we spent with João on the tour of the west of the island. He had a wonderful relaxed and welcoming manner whilst being both entertaining and informative. He made sure EVERYONE was included in conversations and made a point of speaking to each person individually. We saw such beautiful landscapes and had an off-roading experience as part of the tour. We would highly recommend this tour and especially João.

Wonderful insight into the beauty of Madeira - The tour was wonderful. Our driver was super friendly and showed us his home full of joy. The route over old small roads and partly off-road were great chosen. It was a nice mix of driving and making smaller trips at the stops in between. Highly recommended

Amazing - I had an absolutely amazing experience on this excursion in Madeira! The places we visited were simply breathtaking, with stunning landscapes that left me speechless at every stop. The highlight of the trip was definitely our guide, Ricardo – he’s the best! Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and shares so many fascinating facts about Madeira that you’d never know otherwise, but he’s also incredibly friendly, fun, and has a great sense of humor. We even had the chance to enjoy some off-road adventure, which made the whole experience even more exciting and unique. Everything was perfectly organized, and thanks to Ricardo’s energy and passion, the day was unforgettable. I can’t recommend this tour enough – if you want to discover Madeira in a fun, adventurous, and truly memorable way, this is the one!

Best Tour, Best Guide (Ricardo) - Both the scenery and the guide were 5 stars. It was a magical day, learning SO much about Madeira, the scenery, the flora and fauna, etc. Ricardo is super knowledgeable, down to earth and so friendly, it made it such a relaxing experience and wonderful way to explore Madeira. Ricardo was a gentleman, helpful, conscientious and gave us the best experiences everywhere we went. Great advice, local knowledge and honest perspectives. It was a gift to do this tour with him (and ruined us for another tour with a different company later in the week!).

Excellent tour - 5 ⭐ - Excellent tour. Whilst we had a car during our trip some of the roads on the island are difficult to navigate and parking at the more popular spots challenging at times. The tour allowed us both to fully enjoy the amazing scenery and relax throughout the day as we got to experience a wide range of sights. The day was packed full of stops and fantastic value for money. Our guide was really helpful and provided lots of additional detail about the island. Definite 5 🌟- would recommend this to anyone visiting the Island.
