A wonderful first class tour of Madeira - Roberto is the funniest, most knowledgeable and helpful tour guide we have ever known. He is passionate about all things Madeira: history, flora and fauna. You can also side track him onto all things world events and he is brilliant to discuss things with. We actually did the East Coast Tour this time, previously (Jan 25) we did the West Coast. Both tours are excellent and husband and I have no hesitation in recommending both tours - you learn so much, nothing is hurried, and he will happily tailor it to whatever you are keen to know more about. Who knew you can pick enormous avocado’s straight from a tree (with owners permission) or try wild mulberries and custard apples? That there is a trout farm halfway up the mountain to Madeira’s highest peak? He took us to taste Madeira’s wine (West Cost) and rum (East coast) He knows all the off the beaten track best places for lunch or snacks (or toilets, very important) After each trip we came back buzzing with info from all that we had learned, and keen to know more about this amazing island and its people. An added bonus, Roberto is S African with Portuguese parents, so fluent in Portuguese and English. He has also worked in many European countries and can speak French and Italian with ease. The tour bus (seats 7, I think) is electric so you can hear all that is said and also the wonderful sounds of birds etc…which Roberto identifies for you.

Unforgettable Experienc with Madeira Electric Tours and Roberto Camara - Unforgettable Experienc with Madeira Electric Tours and Roberto Camara During our recent trip to Madeira, we had the pleasure of exploring the island with Madeira Electric Tours, guided by Roberto Camara, one of the owners. We traveled in a comfortable electric minibus with a small group of up to eight participants and enjoyed a personalized and eco-friendly tour that exceeded all expectations.​ Roberto's fluency in multiple languages and his extensive knowledge of Madeira's natural beauty enriched our journey. His great sense of humor, and insightful conversations about the island's culture and environment made the experience truly special.​ What set this tour apart was Roberto's commitment to showcasing not just the popular tourist spots but also the hidden gems of Madeira, and took us to breathtaking viewpoints and charming towns​. We highly recommend Madeira Electric Tours and especially Roberto Camara for anyone looking to discover the authentic and stunning landscapes of Madeira. This tour was worth every penny and will remain a highlight of our visit to the island.​ Kirsten and Kim Nielsen

It Was a full packed day visiting a pretty fishing village, Skywalk bridge along with many other lovely towns and great view points along the way. Travelling with friends and we met a lovely couple. Stopped off for lunch and sampled the local drink at little taverna. Roberto was very friendly, knowledgable and factual. It was a great memorable experience and would definitely recommend.

Excellent tour of the Westside of Madeira - This was the second tour, I had done with Roberto. I had enjoyed my first experience so much, I did this one. Overall, the whole experience was magical, fun and extremely interesting. The comfort of the vehicle was a real pleasure, being quiet, very manoeuvrable and very easy to hear what Roberto was talking about. I liked the fact, that there was no need for rushing around or a strict time. It was very much like being taken out by a friend. It is the best tour I have ever experienced. I would highly recommend it.
