Interesting and entertaining tour. - Today was a wet and sometimes windy , misty day. Tony our driver and guide drove us safely over the mountain tops, and made the tour entertaining and informative. His English is really excellent. He made sure we got the most out of the day despite the weather!

Well run tour - Good way to get an overview of the West Side of the island. The guide was good. Weather not so good. Minibus got very little leg room except front 3 passenger seats.

Fascinating Day Out - Really interesting tour in a small group by minibus. Patrick our guide made it all so interesting, giving us lots of information about the plants, agriculture, and places we visited. He spoke great English and other languages too. We had thought about renting a car but this was much more relaxing, as the roads are quite scary in places and you would have to really concentrate if driving. Highly recommended!

Trust Ilha tours and you will be 100% satisfied. - All places that we visited in this excursion broadened our understanding of Madeira's unique nature and hard working people who have created this paradise. Thanks to the fact that people working for Ilha tours are real patriots of their island, each story, comment or joke gave additional value to the trip. The wonderful guide Patricia spoke 3 languages, and everybody was happy to get info in his mother tongue. We highly recommend tourists choose excursions/trips from Ilha tours!

Day trip to Madeira West - I have to leave my feedback! I booked the tour at 00:18 to start at 09:00. Your team was tireless and adapted everything so that I could pick up at another point, as I was coming straight from the flight to the excursion. I can only be very grateful! The tour was really fun and the transfer was very affordable! I highly recommend your service and when I return to Madeira I will do another activity with your team! Thank you very much for everything! I loved the landscapes and places I hadn’t yet seen. 🥰 I had been to the island in 2022 exploring by car but this time I discovered different things and we even had the opportunity to taste wines made in Madeira. Wonderful!

Recommended, lots of information - We immediately booked 3 tours with Ilha tours on our first day in Madeira. The east, west and nuns valley tour. First tour was the west tour, our driver (forgot his name) had a lot to say. We were able to visit incredibly beautiful places. There was plenty of time to see everything. We found the Nuns Valley tour a bit disappointing, our driver Alberto was very good, lots of nice information along the way. Also now enough time, even to take a small levada walk. The East tour was also provided by Alberto, lots of nice information, he had a lot of knowledge about the island and nature. East and West tour were long days (9am to 5pm) and Nuns Valley was a half day tour.

Good to see the sights but driver was not pleasant - We had a fantastic trip in terms of the scenery and locations visited; however, our experience was significantly marred by the behaviour of the driver, Alberto. From the start, he was rude to all 11 members of our group, especially when a few of us were slightly late. His attitude when two members were delayed by just three minutes while waiting to use the toilets was particularly unnecessary. Throughout the trip, he frequently interrupted the group with overly embellished commentary, much of which was irrelevant to us. His constant shushing and condescending tone left us feeling disrespected and unwelcome. While we appreciate some useful information was shared, his manner and incessant talking detracted from what could have been an enjoyable day. After 25 years of being a guide, we would have expected more tolerance and understanding. Unfortunately, his behaviour greatly reduced our overall enjoyment of what should have been a memorable experience.

Never again. - I couldn’t do it, first they were supposed to be in a traffic jam, then, after more than an hour, they just forgot to pick me up. I had to text and call them to check the situation all the time. I give them 1 star cause, at party least, they refund me as soon as they realize about the situation.

Horrible - book elsewhere. - Stay away from the tour company Ilhatours operating in Funchal Madeira! Horrible experience! I booked a full day to go to Porto Moniz for myself and my teenage son with this company and they did not show up to pick up. After persitent calls made by the hotel reception on my behalf Maria from the tour company called back 1.5h later and said " sorry the van is full today.. can you go tomorrow? ..." I was appalled because my plans for the day were ruined. After much complaining they proceded to send some peson employed by the company ( I think his name was Joao, he refued to spell it) to give us ride "to catch up with the tour bus" This person was driving recklessly, recklessly enough to make my son carsick, and even cursing in Portuguese thinking that we do not understand and was extremly dipleased with the task he was given. Shortly after he drove us back to the hotel continuing to act unpleasant. We got this instead of "catching the bus" but I was thankful this tour nightmare was over.
