Wonderful scenic wine tour with a great guide. - We had such a great time with Val on our wine tour that we decided to book him for another full day. The local knowledge he has about the island made our tours very special. Val is now a friend and we can’t wait to visit again!

Perfect! - No words needed! In Madeira's worst weather Val picked us up! We were more than skeptical if this would be a tour as we had imagined it! You should not expect a hop on hop off and immediately star hail! But what you can be sure of! You see extraordinary streets/corners you learn an incredible amount you taste great wines and you eat sooo delicious! You'll find yourself in corners where you would never have ended up in life without native knowledge! It's clear to us! We will book Val again next time! Unforgettable time! 9:00-17:30! Hammmmaaaaaa! Thanks 🙏🏻

Val and his Madeira driving/wine tour. - Very good tour of various parts of the island. Extended visits to a vineyard/winery and a Madeira winery. Val gave as an informative overview of the history, geography and economy of the island. Val is a very knowledgable resident, experienced guide and a fine driver. Our tour was in English but he also described tours with other languages and his willingness to customize based on interests and preferences of his guests. I would thoroughly recommend Val and his tours.

Beautiful scenic drive - We enjoyed a great tour of Madeira with a genial and knowledgeable driver. The day included two wine tasting visits, and culminated with a spectacular New Year's Eve firework display. Brilliant!

A fantastic way to see the island. - Our guide, Valdemar, was outstanding. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The wine tasting was informative and enjoyable. We saw bits of the island which were off the beaten track that we would never have found on our own. We lunched in a simple restaurant where local workers go to lunch and had delicious simply grilled trigger fish. The tasting of Madeira wines was great, with generous servings of high quality wine, and was a bargain. After our trip he kindly gave us other recommendations of restaurants and activities. A great day , well worth it!

Best tour we had on Madeira - This tour is phenomenal. If you want to learn about local life on Madeira and get educated on how wine is grown and produced on the island, you must do this tour. Our tour guide Val was the absolute best. He took us to hidden places other tour companies don’t go and he made the last day of our stay a unforgettable highlight.

Spectacular Madeira Tour - What makes this tour especially compelling is that it is owner-operated by a life-long Madeiran. One employee, two vintage vehicles, and a day full of fun, surprises and good food and beverage. Val will custom-tailor your day-long experience to exactly what you'd like to enjoy and experience. The four of us were off a Viking cruise ship and had eight hours available. In that short time frame, we did it all. Culture, history, vistas, food and beverage. We loved exploring in the vintage 1996 Land Rover. Our tour included two stops at Madeiran wineries (one 'regular' & one 'fortified'). We also enjoyed a traditional Madeiran lunch, and even a specialty cocktail when Val learned we were about to sail west with no land sightings for the ensuing week. We even squeezed in two short walks, to soak up the vistas, and to walk off a few calories. (Note: on these private tours, food and beverage are at additional cost.) We can't recommend highly enough Val and the classy, curated Madeiran tours and experiences that he provides his guests. Thank you, Val!
