Amazing Tour! - We had the BEST time on this tour! Our guide gave us details of the city, took us to some amazing viewpoints and took a ton of photos of us while we drove around. He picked us up and dropped us off right at our cruise ship! Do this tour if you’re looking for a fun experience!

Highly recommended - We joined Joe for a 2 hour tour of Madeira. I sat behind Joe and my friend settled into the sidecar. Joe was a very knowledgeable, friendly guide who clearly loves the island and is happy to share its delights. We visited Camera de los Lobos then drove up into the hillside for a coffee and Poncha stop at a local cafe with fabulous panoramic views. I would highly recommend the tour. It was very well organised and we saw so much more than if we'd just done a bus tour. It was great meeting Joe who shared so much about local life that we just wouldn't have got from a bus tour. The bike was a stunner-a very comfortable ride. One tip I would give future guests is to wear long trousers and a jacket as, even on a sunny day, it got quite chilly up in the hillside. Joe was kind enough to drop us in town by the market at the end of the tour. Excellent tour! Thanks Joe

Nostalgic Motorcycle & Sidecar Trip. - The motorcycle and sidecar tour of part of the beautiful island of Madeira was amazing. Nuno was a superb guide and character, taking us up to some of the most special viewpoints on the island. His commentary whilst riding the bike kept us well informed. This trip is highly recommended for people who want to do something different, particularly those previously may have rode motorcycles. Must do it again when in Madeira.

Wallace and Grommet do Funchal - Amazing trip thank you. The sights and smells you wouldn’t get on a coach. We had an included tour with our cruise line which we didn’t go on, we didn’t want to mar or dilute the experience we had in the morning. Thank you keep up the good work. This is a must do for anyone!

Nighttime view of Madiera - We sure enjoyed this nighttime view of Madiera from a sidecar. The history, the sights and the experience were amazing. A must do if traveling here.

Unique and fun way to experience Madeira! - We had a great tour with João. We skipped downtown and went straight up into the mountains. The scenery was gorgeous and the ride itself was really fun! We stopped at a cafe to try poncha, the traditional drink of Madeira, which was very tasty. João took tons of pics for us and sent them the next day which was much appreciated. Highly recommend this tour!

Reliving our biking past whilst in Madeira / Funchal. - The whole experience was fantastic. Our driver Tino was great and very informative. As ex bikers it was a trip down memory lane for us. The scenery was great as was the cliff top sky walk experience. Would highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful experience - This is a must. Dad (he is 87) and I were on a Cruise - we were met immediately by Luis and it was the most fantastic tour I have ever taken. It was so much fun. Luis is so full of knowledge regarding Madeira and the surrounding area. I would not hesitate in recommending this tour. PS... the other cruise visitors were soooo envious when we told them what we had done and where we had been.

Sidecar Excursion with these guys! Is a MUST-DO! - Myself, son and his best friend viewed Madeira by sidecar. We had the BEST time. The guys took us to a local cafe, showing us the most amazing views, taste the local snacks. Educating us about the Island, all the way. They were so kind and really lovely to hang out with, on this excursion, we didnt want it to end. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thanks Phil & Nat, from Cathy, Billy & Cole xx
