Two fabulous tours of Madeira with Diogo! - Fabulous Tour -made our holiday! We went out twice with Diogo - both the West and the East. Diogo was a safe driver. He adapted the tour to our personal preferences. He took us to lots of lovely places and we had time to wander round, shop, eat and explore and he would always be waiting for us. On route he would tell us about the views and Madeira's history and culture. On the East tour the weather was very bad so Diogo took us somewhere else in the afternoon and we had the best time. On the second tour Diogo took us everywhere we wanted to go, and more, and then he dropped us at the airport for our flight home! The car is very comfortable and the Madeira roads are smooth and offer great views. We would not hesitate to recommend Diogo to anyone for a private personalised tour. Thank you from Susan and Chris.

High quality trip with knowledgeable and informative host - Riccardo was an excellent and very informative driver who was very careful in the mountainous roads. The Mercedes Vito van was very clean and roomy for our group of 4. The places visited gave us a real feel for Madeira and its spectacular sites.

Tour of the west side of Madeira. - This was a fascinating tour of the island. Diogo was very knowledgeable and able to enrich our tour by explaining everything we saw at each stage of the day in excellent English. The car was very comfortable and exceptionally clean. It would have been very difficult to see so much in one day if we had hired a car instead. Diogo gave us plenty of time at each stop, including a longer stop for lunch, which we really enjoyed! We appreciated having a private tour because Diogo was able to tell us so much about every place along the route and gave us insights into the culture and history of the island. We can recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Madeira without the challenge of driving on difficult mountain roads!

Exceptional Madeira Tour with Diogo – A Five-Star Experience! - We had an absolutely outstanding experience with Madeira Taxi Tours by Diogo, and we cannot recommend his service highly enough. From the very first enquiry, Diogo was incredibly efficient, professional, and courteous, responding promptly to confirm our collection time and location. As our hotel was outside Funchal, he kindly arranged to pick us up for a very reasonable extra cost. From the moment we met him, we were greeted with warmth and enthusiasm, instantly setting the tone for a fantastic day ahead. Diogo’s knowledge of Madeira’s history, culture, and landscapes is truly remarkable, and his English is impeccable. He shared fascinating insights throughout the journey, making every stop even more enjoyable. His passion for his beautiful island was evident in every conversation, adding a personal and engaging touch to the tour. The tour itself was simply spectacular. We visited Baía de Câmara, Cabo Girão, Ribeira Brava, Porto Moniz, and more, taking in breathtaking scenery along the way. What set this experience apart was Diogo’s perfect balance of structure and flexibility—we never felt rushed, yet we covered so much in one day. It was a truly relaxing and immersive experience, knowing we were in such capable hands. His vehicle was spotlessly clean, spacious, and comfortable, and his driving was impeccably safe and smooth, allowing us to sit back and fully enjoy the stunning surroundings. If you’re visiting Madeira and want a first-class tour experience, look no further than Madeira Taxi Tours by Diogo. He made our day unforgettable, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. Absolutely five-star service!

Wonderful Full Day visit to the west of Madeira with the excellent Diogo - Diogo was an excellent guide throughout our private tour of the West side of Madeira. Hi took us to all the main sites and provided excellent commentary and insight into history, economy and geography of this side of the island. We stopped at several places for photos, coffee and lunch breaks at our discretion. A wonderful day trip and we highly recommend Diogo as an excellent guide and driver who is extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

Best shore excursion we... - Best shore excursion we have done and we have done a few. Tiago was great we couldn’t ask for a better guide, he took us to more places than we thought we’d go. Had much better experience having a private tour rather than the others all squeezed up in a 4x4. Tiago was patient he never rushed us at any stop and went out of his way to pull over and show us the all different plants on island very knowledgeable.
