We LOVED our tour with Leandro from Daniel’s Taxi - Great tour of a beautiful island. We went to valley of nuns, botanical garden,plus several other places pretty much at our own pace. Leandro picked us up as we got off the ship and off we went. Soooo much better than the ship tours.

Lovely afternoon spent touring the Nuns Valley - Lovely trip with great views on all the stops. In the Nuns village you must try the chestnut cake and in the fisherman's village try the traditional Poncha drink. Trip wax well timed and the guide an excellent driver.

Valley of the Nuns Tour - This tour was great! Communication with the company was fantastic and they picked us up right in front of our cruise ship. Nuno, our guide was knowledgeable, funny, and helpful. The sights were amazing. Would have liked a little more time in each of the towns, and the bus was a little stuffy, but the seats were comfortable and the vent roof being open helped. Nuno was also an excellent driver. Would definitely do this tour again if we had some more time to explore.

Friends trip to Maderia. - The trip was lovely and the scenery beautiful! The little villages were nice to stop at, all nicely decorated for the festivals! Only one issue for us was that it was hard to understand the bus-driver so we probably missed out on a lot of information about the Island! Overall a good tour and good value for money.

Spoiled by rain - We didn't go on tour because of drenching rain at our pickup time. We did email our decision and also called to check whether the departure was delayed by the weather, but the person I spoke to did not understand my question, telling me only "no refunds". We did not expect a refund, but thought they might reach out to us to reschedule perhaps with a small discount. They did not. When the rain stopped we took the bus to the main tour destinations at a fraction of the tour cost. We spent an enjoyable time there having a lesiurely visit and setting our own schedule. I think perhaps in future we will take more buses and fewer tours.

Horrible experiences - I would recommend you not to choose Tripadvisor. The subcontractors they choose are useless. This is the third time I have experienced this. Unfortunately.
