Fantastic tour with guide Roberto would highly recommend - We booked the West tour of Madeira with Madeira Electric Tours. Our guide Roberto was exceptionally good. He arrived on time and was very knowledgeable about the history of the island. He described in detail all the fruit,trees and shrubs. Every stop was unhurried for us to take photos. We had a leisurely time at the Porto Moniz where we could swim in the pools and take leisurely lunch. This was followed by a wine tasting and a lovely return journey. I think this is the best tour of the island I would have no hesitation in recommending Roberto and this company.

Beautiful tour of the west side of Madeira - It was a very nice tour. Our guide Roberto took a lot of time and showed us many great sights of western Madeira. At the individual stations, he always gave us enough time without rushing us. Communication in English went great too. Since my partner and her son barely understand English, Roberto always gave me the time to translate everything. Should we come to Madeira again, we will gladly book one of the other tours offered.

An Experience not to be Missed - Another two amazing trips with Robbie. This is an experience not to be missed - the man's enthusiasm and knowledge are inexhaustible! Don't hire a car on Madeira, folks, just do some trips with him in his electric vehicle and you'll see and learn a lot more than if you go on your own. It'll be a whole lot less stressful and enjoyable too - Madeira is not a place where you should drive if you can avoid it! Leave it to the local experts like Robbie.

Well worth booking - We advance booked and paid for both tours, east and west, scheduled on two consecutive days. The first day we were collected along with another previously unknown couple from our hotel. Roberto managed to seamlessly accommodate the interests and needs of the two different couples so everyone gained the optimum experience on an individual level. In fact, the convivial nature of the day managed by Roberto led to us enjoying dinner with the same couple when we bumped into them again a few nights later! On the second day my husband was unable to come on the east tour as he was ill and so we were resigned to me going alone with him missing out and losing the money paid. However, upon learning of this when Roberto came to the hotel to pick me up he explained that, as he had no other clients joining us that day, he could swap his personal diary around, cancel our trip that day without penalty, and meet us both again on a different day at the end of our second week instead. This was simply another demonstration of Roberto’s care and consideration of his clients. During the interim period we enjoyed a couple of hiking trips with a mountain guide and realised that some of the places we had walked were on Roberto’s next itinerary scheduled for our east day. No need to worry, when he collected us both Roberto said he had actually seen us in the distance at one venue with the mountain guide, had guessed what had happened and so, aided by his previous knowledge of our preferences, had put together a personalised trip for our consideration to places not yet visited. We of course agreed and had another great day seeing new sights and learning new things about Madeira. With Roberto’s knowledge and infectious appreciation of his island he is an excellent ambassador for Madeira. His electric vehicle is comfortable, clean and smoothly driven leading to a full and relaxing day. We highly recommend Madeira Electric Tours, a company which goes above and beyond what you would reasonably expect and one which delivers on all fronts.

Spectacular tour! - I cannot even put in to words how wonderful and informative our tour in Madeira was. I can’t say enough about our very knowledgeable, friendly and most proficient driver and guide in this beautiful island! I highly recommend Roberto (Robbie). We travel extensively and this tour was a definite 10 out of 10! There were 4 of us (2 couples) and we all loved everything about this adventure. Spectacular photo ops, beautiful stops, lunch and wine tasting. I highly recommend Robbie and his tour company. Thank you Robbie aka Roberto:-)

An unforgettable day trip - An amazing day out in a clean and quiet electric vehicle. Roberto was exactly what you want from a guide, friendly, funny and happy to accommodate our requests. His knowledge of Madeira and even the flora and fauna was impeccable - the figs were delicious 😋. We will be retuning to Madeira and will be booking more trips direct with him. Thanks for making the trip so special Rob.

Thank you Rob for a great day out - Fantastic day out. Roberto was very knowledgeable about all our destinations as well as all the local fauna and flora. Nothing was too much trouble and he was happy to provide information and recommendations for other places. His running commentary had us laughing all day and with the electric vehicle he was easily heard. Would highly recommend and if you get chance try and book him direct at madeira@electrictours.pt. We are planning on coming back some time in the next 12 months and will be booking him for the east side tour.

excellent private tour in a quiet electric car - excellent private tour in a quiet and very comfortable car. Roberto was knowledgable and friendly and electric car meant no noise or fumes. Only 2 of us on the tour and we enjoyed seeing the sights of the west of madeira that we wouldnt have managed by hire car or on the bus. Would highly recommend especially to first timers visitors to Madeira.
