Best tour in Madeira!! - We had an absolutely amazing experience with Filipe as our driver and guide! As two female travelers, we immediately felt safe, welcome, and well taken care of. Filipe was incredibly kind, professional, and knowledgeable, making our time in Madeira truly unforgettable. He picked us up at our hotel right on time for the sunrise hike at Pico do Areiro. Although the weather was not on our side when we reached the top, we still enjoyed the experience. One highlight was our visit to Fanal, unlike a "West Island tour" we booked for the following day where we only had barely 15 minutes to explore, Filipe gave us plenty of time to truly enjoy the beauty of the forest that we would never have been able to experience with any other tour. He also chose a fantastic levada walk after seeing the big tour groups visiting 25 Fonts. We were so impressed that we booked another tour with him a few days later to Pico do Arieiro for sunset, and it was absolutely breathtaking and weather was perfect, one of the best moments of our trip! We can’t recommend Filipe enough to all our family, friends, and anyone reading this. If we could give 100 stars, we would! Thank you, Filipe, for making our time in Madeira so special!!

A great day at three locations - We had a fantastic day visiting three amazing locations in one trip. Our guide picked us up from our hotel right on time and took us to Pico do Arieiro in time to get a great spot for the sunrise. He offered us two route options, which was helpful. The day was planned with flexibility. To avoid the crowds, we headed to Fanal next. The guide stayed in the car and let us take our time exploring. There was no pressure, and we really appreciated being able to enjoy the place at our own pace. For 25 Fontes, we were again given route choices. We picked a quieter path and followed our guide through the forest and levadas. We saw two waterfalls along the way. It was a warm day, so the hike was a little challenging but still very enjoyable. Our guide clearly cared about making sure we had an enjoyable and memorable experience. Thank you

Amazing sunrise and Lavada walk - The sunrise and stairway walk were amazing, our guide was excellent and changed the itinerary to suit us. The Levada walk was a great experience and well worth the time

We had a truly wonderful... - We had a truly wonderful experience today with Viator on a private tour just for our family of three. Our driver and guide Filipe was absolutely fantastic! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional throughout the entire day. Filipe made us feel comfortable from the start, shared so many interesting facts about each place we visited, and took the time to personalize the experience just for us. He stopped at the best spots for photos, was always patient, and created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more beautiful day. Thank you, Filipe for making this tour so special for our family! Highly recommended! — Renata and Constantin!
