Perfect way to spend a day! - Really good tour, our guide was knowledgeable and accommodating. Some spectacular sights and a great way to explore even more of Madeira's beauty. Driving in Madeira is scary but we felt very safe and our guide knew exactly what he was doing. A great value for money tour well worth doing.

Jam packed day - Had a brilliant day on our small group tour. Our driver doubled up as our tour guide and we’ve learnt so much about the different micro climates within Madeira, the history of Madeira and the latest information about Madeira today. Swimming and lunch at Porto Moniz was good fun. Being above the clouds at the Fanal forest. Stopping to move a cow out of the road. Cliff top platform and beautiful churches. Thank you Roy x

Great all rounder - You see a lot on a lot of short stops. In Porto Moniz, there was time for a swim. There are two lava made swimming pools, one for a few with all the services and the other is free with no service.

West tour waterfalls and fanal forest - We were picked up at the suggested time at the hotel lobby. The guide was very informative along the way and at each stop we made. Plenty of time at each location and not rushed . You need to pack a jacket for the forest stop as it was raining whilst up there. It was a great way to see parts of Madeira that we would not of seen by ourselves. Great trip from start to finish

A Good Tour of the West’s Highlights - An enjoyable day seeing the highlights of the west coast. Many companies appear to do the same or a similar trip, but we were 2 of 6 in a comfortable minivan, and our driver gave an interesting and informative commentary throughout. The stops we made were all about the right time, and we did not feel rushed, and although some stops were more interesting than others, overall we found it to be an interesting and enjoyable tour.
