A new perspective of the island - Great experience. Drving a rental car I would never dare to drive those roads (some of which are dirt roadas and therefore not for a regular car). Also, there are no problems with finding places to park! Some of the places visited are not mentioned on internet or brochures but are very atractive. John gave us a lot of valuable information.

Cannot recommend this tour and our tour guide Rodrigo enough !! - Me and my partner booked the safari jeep tour as we were only in Madeira for a few days and wanted to see as many highlights as possible. This tour is fantastic for that. It’s a fun interactive tour with some off roading and many beautiful views. Our tour guide Rodrigo was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable answering all our questions about Madeira. And his driving up some of the steepest roads I’ve ever seen was beyond impressive. We felt very safe with him as our tour guide. Cannot recommend this tour and Rodrigo enough !!

Best way to see the island! - Probably the best excursion we did during our week on Madeira. Was a great introduction to the interior and had the opportunity to visit the second highest peak on the island. Thankfully the weather was perfect which enabled great views of the surrounding mountains. Favourite stop was probably the last at the very eastern tip of the island - Ponta de São Lourenço - with its dramatic volcanic features. Exhilarating off-road sections and narrow roads that convinced us that having an expert at the wheel was no bad thing! Highly recommended!
