Great private tour with Hugo - Fantastic experience! Everything went very well from the reservation process where we had great communication with the team to the two full day tours we took. Our guide, Hugo, was excellent- very informative and amusing. Despite the rainy, windy weather he made sure we had an amazing experience- he took us to all the possible highlights and a few we never knew existed. His driving skills are excellent and his meal suggestions were perfect! Highly recommended!

Leave the driving to Hit The Road! - We’ve explored many of Madeira’s popular spots on our own, but when a friend came to visit, we thought it would be fun to book a private tour and let Vitar handle the driving. We mentioned that we’d already checked out Cabo Girão, hiked Pico do Areeiro, Nuns Valley and the like, but we were eager to discover the “Hidden Gems” Hit the Road talks about. Vitar then took us west for a lovely tour, stopping at peaceful and beautiful places along the way. We enjoyed some delicious poncha at a roadside bar and had lunch in a quiet restaurant serving traditional Madeiran food. It was such a treat not to drive!

Gladly again - Fabio, our driver and guide, was very nice and showed us many beautiful places on the island, most of which we probably would never have discovered. He has responded very well to our limitations. We were so excited about our first tour that we spontaneously booked another tour with Fabio the day before we left. Also, all email traffic with Emilio ran very uncomplicated and very fast. Should we be back in Madeira at some point, we will probably book at least one tour again:)

Hit the Road Madeira is a day well spent - My husband and I chose a private tour. A day long private tour. We were in awe all day long. Beautiful views, knowledgable driver, what more could we ask for. We booked the tour directly from their website. This was the perfect way to book the tour as what I thought I needed, and thought I needed to pay for was actually not correct. I overpaid. They contacted me to ensure the information was correct, and reimbursed me for my overpayment. Chances are you only get that type of great service when you're dealing direct with the company. Book the tour. Book direct. You won't be disappointed. We now have outstanding photos that we share with our friends back home.

Half day private jeep tour - Hit the road Madeira are amazing from the minute you start emailing for information on tours, to updates on pick up times, individual requests and to then providing an amazing experience. Our request was a half day tour of the island to get an insight into Madeira. One of our party of four needed this to be very accessible and our tour guide Hugo was just incredible in how he delivered this. He has an in depth knowledge of the island and not only showed us many aspects of the beauty of Madeira but he also made the experience interesting and fun with all the information he could impart. His attention to detail to make sure everyone’s needs were met was outstanding . Thank you for a fantastic day.

A trip made memorable and close to the heart, - Hit the road is an excellent company if you want reliability and a true personalized experience. My husband and I chose the private full day tour for 3 days which allowed for flexibility due to weather changes and opportunities to visit any side of the island thoroughly. Our tour was completely customized to fit our desires, such as sightseeing along the coasts as well as high elevations to include a sunrise tour and a Lovada walk to say the least. Fabio was our main guide who is highly knowledgeable about the island and was very talented at knowing what our abilities and interests were. If you wanted exciting and challenging, he delivered! Fabio was near our side to help with any language barriers, but yet knew when to give my husband and I private time. He showed us local places to have our favorite food and poncho’s, of course! Quero mais tosta mista e espetada de carne. Obrigada pela sua ajuda e continue à procura de trutas, Fábio. Mantenha a sua personalidade amigável e excitante!

Best day in Madira! - We had an amazing day with Hugo in Madeira! He knew all the great spots and when they were not so busy. We got to see so much more of the island just because he knew it so well. We avoided most of the other tourists in rental cars and traffic. Felt like we had island mostly to oursevles.....We would have never been able to navigate on our own in the same way. The views and the island are just spectacular. I highly recommend these people when visiting Madira and ask for Hugo, he's great!!
