Every bit of the day was great. - It was just us two as others cancelled, and the weather was ok, wind, sun, cloud and drizzle depending where we were. We let Ricardo guide us to best advantage, given the weather, and it was great, loved it all, including coffee/cake and lunch stops. He’s very knowledgeable so learned many things along the way, including about some plants here, as we’re very garden orietated. He’s also kind and considerate, drives well, felt very safe, lovely guy. Had a great day.

West - Northwest 4x4 Tour - May sons, daughter in law and I booked a private tour to experience the western part of Madeira.
Lucky us - we got Filipe as our driver. Not only was he a safe and knowledgeable off road driver, he also entertained us with informativ and fun facts about the sights we visited.
Unfortunately, due to bad weather conditions, we couldn't experience the hgher elevated view points like the Fanal. But Filipe had a plan B.
He remembered our conversation about our interests in maderic wineries and organised spontaneously a wine tasting at the Quinta do Barbusano winery.
We definitely would book this tour again in the hopes that we catch better weather and get Filipe as our driver again.

A wonderful family trip with tour guide Filipe - We had an incredibly nice trip with the whole family and drove paths that we would never have found on our own and on the other hand would not have driven. Since the weather was unfortunately not very good today and it was also unusually cold, Filipe organized a great tour for us and adapted it accordingly. For example, we have shortened the hiking tour. We stayed at a great restaurant away from the tourist hotspots.
Filipe informed us very well, drove very safely and really entertained us very well and made us laugh. All in all, we had an all around great trip and can only recommend this.

Great day with Vitor seeing the beautiful island - Just back from a really lovely day trip with Vitor around the west of the island. The trip exceeded our expectations and we can recommend highly going with this company. Communication was great before the trip and Vitor was both friendly and informative.
Thank you very much

What a day! - Vitor was amazing. He and his jeep off-roaded us to experience mountains, forests, tide pools, black sand beaches, incredible vistas and more. He shared his experiences as a proud Madeiran and gave us a great insight to this beautiful part of the world. Highly recommend…

The best - We had an amazing private jeep tour on the west side of Madeira with our guide Philipe. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and relaxed.
The tour combined breathtaking coastal views, charming villages, and exciting off-road tracks that took us to places we would never have found on our own. The jeep was comfortable and well-maintained.
Highly recommend this experience and especially Philipe – he made it unforgettable!

Jeep ride for the day in Madeira seeing the sights - We booked by going into town and through a tour operator, we wanted to tailor tour to something I had done previously, they made this happen but the weather changed on the day and we could not go to the highest peak, but we enjoyed with Ricardo who took us to places we hadn't planned to go. Lunch was at the bbq that he had recommended but there was only salad for our vegetarian so it wasn't really fine for us. If you get the chance and you stop at Port Moniz have lunch there or in a village. Thank you to Ricardo for looking after us and showing us beautiful Madeira. Trip was private for for of us 9:30 - 5:30 picked up from Hotel
