Great Tour! - Great way to spend the day exploring the north coast of the island. Great spots to take pictures. Small group, great guide. Pack a rain coat and an extra jumper! It gets cold and wet in the mountains.

Day trip in Madeira - A great way to see the island. Stops were well timed and the driver was very friendly and informative. We travelled with a small group in a minivan so did not have to wait for people returning to the vehicle at the various stops. It was a full days trip.

Excellent day out without the hassle of driving - This was an excellent tour for me and my two teenage children. The guide Albino was very friendly knowledgeable and gave us lots of information, as well as being a good driver and making us feel safe on some very challenging roads. The route itself is stunning and we had lots of opportunities for stops. It felt very good value and was a great way to experience lots of different places on the island, without the pressure of driving. I would thoroughly recommend this tour. Communication was also very good around booking.

West Island tour was brilliant - Just back from a brilliant value for money full day West island tour with Rui, our driver/tour guide who was brimming with great information about the places we drove through and for each of our stops. He was a very safe driver, friendly, thoughtful (if you need the toilet go here ‘cos the one at our next stop in the mountains is not good!) and punctual. After booking online the conformation and Information prior to the trip was good - registration number of minibus, pick up point and time. A great tour, which I can thoroughly recommend, and we will book again with Madeira Island Tours without ant hesitation

Interesting visit... - Interesting visit to discover the west of the island, Porto Moniz deserves a little more time to enjoy the baths. The stop in Sao Vicente would be more relevant in the village rather than to the beach which has no interest! Our driver guide was juggling English and French.... Respected the order of his program in the comments and was disturbed when asked questions.
