Brilliant day out with excellent guide! Highly recommend! - We were lucky enough to have Dinarte as our tour guide for this and he was just brilliant! He tailored the day and experiences to suit our needs perfectly and we were thrilled to see so much of the island that we would otherwise have no idea about! Dinarte made sure we had regular stops so our daughter could run about but also for us to experience the island that he is clearly so passionate about. We started up in the cloudy mountains, went through the fern forest and ended up at the beach in Machico after having had a few stops at beauty spots and an excellent poncha at a traditional bar somewhere in the hills!! It was amazing, hugely knowledgeable guide, unbelievable scenery and just the best day out. Well worth the money and would highly recommend to anyone who wants to explore the real Madeira and break out from the town for a while. Thank you to Dinarte for making us feel welcome, safe and engaging with our daughter in the way you did, top man!

3 half-day tours - I cannot recommend Madeira Inside Out enough. From the moment we met our guide Dinarte and his brother, it was clear that this is not just a tour company – it’s a group of people who genuinely love their island and are passionate about sharing it. What stood out most was the kindness and warmth of the guides. They made us feel like old friends rather than clients, taking time to get to know us and tailoring the experience to what we were most curious about. There was nothing rushed or scripted – everything felt personal and authentic.
Their knowledge of Madeira’s history, culture, and nature is extraordinary. Whether we were walking through tiny villages, exploring the levadas, or tasting local food, our guides brought each place to life with stories, insights, and a true respect for the people and traditions of the island.
Above all, you can feel how deeply they love Madeira. That pride and joy is contagious – by the end of the tour, we felt like we had not only discovered a stunning island, but also understood why it is so special to those who call it home.
If you want more than just sightseeing – if you want to really connect with Madeira through the eyes of people who care for it deeply – then Madeira Inside Out is the choice.
We loved it so much that we booked 3 days with Dinarte and his brother. The best in the business!

Exploring Madeira's Hidden Gems - What an amazing morning! We personalised our tour with the help of Dinarte to see the island he was so proud to live and work on! So many hidden treasures which I wouldn't want to spoil for anyone but please consider taking this tour - you won't regret it! A huge thank you to Dinarte for being a magnificent driver and guide! You made our children's holiday with your enthusiasm and adventurous spirit!

Cant do Madeira without this tour! - In our opinion, you can’t do Madeira without a tour— there’s just too much to see and too many hidden gems that our expert tour guide took us to. Our guide not only narrated our drives through the tour and was incredibly friendly and professional, but dropped us off at each location and let us have some alone time to explore. To us, this was WAY better than being crammed in a vehicle with others we don’t know. As a native of Madeira, all of his local connections and stories made the tour priceless. He picked us up at our air b&b and dropped us off after. We had pastries, toured mountains, got up close to a water fall and tried some local honey. If we return, we’d love to do another tour on the other side of the island!

Recommend, recommend, recommend! - Incredible tour, couldn’t ask for a better driver than Spencer!! Very attentive, accommodating and knowledgeable. I know more about the plants, history and culture of Madeira than i do my own country now! Whether for a full day or half day, a private tour of Madeira is a must and i will be recommending this company to anyone that will listen after our trip with them. Brilliant…

Incredible tour - I had an amazing tour with Dinarte as my tour guide. He was funny, personable, and even extended our tour an hour over. We had a beautiful tour of Madeira with an itinerary that Dinarte helped create using our input. He really made the entire experience fantastic and I cannot wait to come back and use his services again.

Brilliant! - We had a brilliant half day tour exploring the north of the island with Spencer! He was incredibly knowledgeable and tailored a tour that ticked off all the sights we wanted to see. Would highly recommend! Only regret was not doing the full day so we could spend more time at each of the stops.

Great experience!! - We were a large group of neighbors who had a fabulous time! We were able to customize the tour and really enjoyed it. The company did an excellent job with communication, we’re in time, adjusted accordingly when rain caused a change of plans and were very attentive. This tour was a great value and the company was a joy to work with!!!

MADEIRA INSIDEOUT - Spencer is a great bloke and tour guide! He asked us what we wanted to see and do on our tour with him, tailoring it to us.
He was great with our two young kids (7&8) and got them involved showing them things at different stops.
Spencer has wealth of information about Madeira that he shared with us, from the history of the island to the different rock formations and the people that live here.
We’d highly recommend MADEIRA INSIDEOUT! And wish him and the team all the best for the future.
