Wonderful Tour of Madeira! - We had a wonderful tour with Ricardo, our driver guide! He met us at the cruise terminal with our names on a sign and was very friendly and full of information about his beautiful island. He spoke very good English and took us to some absolutely lovely areas of this flower filled island. We highly recommend his tour company. You will not be disappointed! Thank you for a great day, Ricardo!!

Excellent private tour of the East side of Madeira with Diogo - Following an excellent sightseeing trip with Diogo to the West side of Madeira we followed this up with a Full Day trip to the East side of Madeira two days later.
Once again Diogo was an excellent tour guide and he took us to all the main sightseeing spots that demonstrated the differences between the two sides of the island. The highlight being the visit to the Nun's Valley - stunning scenery !
We thank Diago for his friendliness, professionalism, knowledge and excellent driving throughout and highly recommended for a Private Tour around the island

Excellent trip with a fantastic host - We booked a last minute 5-6 Hour Tour at our cruise stop in Madeira. From initial contact with Diogo by email to the end of the trip everything was extremely well managed. Diogo himself took us on the tour. He arrived on time and was the perfect host throughout the trip, sharing lots of information about the island he so clearly loves. He also helped with good knowledge on queue times which helped prevent lots of wasted time at the main attractions (Toboggan, Cable Car etc). Even when our lunch break lasted significantly longer than expected, he was happy to wait and accommodate us. I would thoroughly recommend Diogo.

10/10 recommend Diogo - I had a fantastic experience with Diogo on our Madeira tour taxi. Diogo was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole trip enjoyable. His insights into the island's sights and culture were both fascinating and informative. He is an excellent driver. The vehicle was comfortable and well-maintained, adding to the overall pleasure of the tour. Highly recommend Diogo for anyone looking to explore Madeira with a local touch!

Perfect private tour. - All stops were excellent. The fishing village was a nice surprise. And the skywalk was amazing. A perfect 3 hour trip to see several different parts of Madeira and fantastic views. Our guide Diogo was great. Informative, very gracious, and very friendly. Highly recommended for those who don’t want to get tied up all day with a big tour group. It was a private tour. Just two of us. And worked out great.

Brilliant tour!! Very friendly. - A great daytrip, Diogo took us to a local restaurant and poncha bar. We saw much more of Madeira that we otherwise would have done as our cruise ship only docked for the day. Great English, excellent communication, steady and safe driving.
