Highly recommended - A great tour for people who are visiting Madeira for the first time. We visited a wide variety of places and were given adequate time to explore each location. Luis was very knowledgible and gave us a wealth of information about Madeira.

Beautiful 8H private west tour Madeira, nature is beautiful and Michael our driver/guide top. - Great 8H private west tour Madeira had with Michael, our driver / guide of Madeira-Island-Tours with pick-up cruise terminal Funchal.Very much seen in relaxed pace, also Michael very relaxed.We had plenty of time at every place and also no time pressure from Michael. He showed us a little extra because we still had time. It was a beautiful day, not only because of the sunny weather, but certainly because of the beautiful nature of Madeira.Most beautiful day of our 8 day cruise Canary Islands and Madeira

100% recommended - We were collected on time from our hotel by the lovely Cristian, who was both our guide and driver for the day. There was 8 of us on the full day tour and what a day it was! We stopped at so many places, some for a quick photo stop and the longest one being 90 minutes for lunch. In my opinion stopping at Fanal Forest was just out of this world and Cristian extended the intended 20 minute stay to 40 minutes. I could write and write in detail but my best advice would be to just book it and experience the tour for yourselves and if Cristian is your guide well, you're in a day to remember!

A Tour Worth EVERY minute! - There were 7 of us in our party and we had our own private minibus tour. Manuel was informative about and flexible with the time we spent at each stop. Each stop on the itinerary was spectacular and a highlight. We would not have understood how varied and beautiful the terrain of the island is if we had not booked this tour. We highly recommend it!

Great for little people!! - This is a great trip but only if you’re under 5’5”. The bus is so small your knees have trouble fitting in making for a very uncomfortable journey. That to be honest is the only negative on what was a fabulous day. Went to so many places and the guide was very knowledgeable.
