Antonio mountain expedition - If you’re planning to visit the breathtaking island of Madeira, I highly recommend Antonio as your guide for the 4x4 Jeep road tour. He is an outstanding host—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about showcasing the beauty of Madeira. Antonio is not only a great tour guide, but also a wonderful family man who makes you feel safe and welcome throughout the journey. He knows the best scenic routes, hidden gems, and local experiences that truly bring the island to life. Tourists from all around the world will find his service top-notch. Don’t miss the chance to explore Madeira with Antonio—you won’t regret it!

Wonderful Jeep Tour - We had a wonderful Jeep Tour with Antonio, who was a great guide and driver. We enjoyed the beautiful nature and learned a lot about Madeira. The Levada walk was really nice, especially the little Madeira birds at the viewpoint. Also the visit to the rum distillery was quite interesting. All in all, it was a great experience. Muito obrigado!

Beautiful and humorous - Dear Antonio showed us the east side of the island today. He knew a lot about the special places and we were able to bring our own suggestions. He was also an excellent driver and especially mastered the off-road tracks superbly. We'll be back!

Breathtaking trip - Dino was amazing, entertaining and informative. He took a lot of trouble to show us so many points of interest and plants and fruits typical of the island. The drive was very exciting - not for the faint-hearted, but Dino knows every inch of the route like the back of his hand! We were shrouded in the clouds at the highest peak, but despite this, there were other breathtaking views and the whole day trip was really worth it.

Seriously fantastic trip, you MUST do this! - This was one of the best excursions I've done anywhere ever! We were lucky with the weather as it was clear with good visibility across the mountains and sunny all day, bit it was such a superb experience it would have been great without it! First of all the vehicle (Land Rover Defender) was in good shape and performed brilliantly. It was open top and enabled all round views and an exciting off-road experience! More importantly, the guide EDDIE was an absolute rockstar and an excellent host. Deeply knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, locations and history, he was also a total badaxe behind the wheel and provided enough entertainment to keep us thoroughly engaged for the duration of the trip. Eight hours door to door including levada walk (easy and unaccompanied), breaks and lunch, the time just flew by and I feel like we really got to know the island. By far the best thing we've done on holiday on Madeira, I unreservedly recommend this trip.

Fabulous! - The view and in general the view is a rare sight.. It must be said that our expert guide, Vitor, was able to point us to the best places to visit. We so appreciated his Formula 1 driver skills, his kindness, his culture, especially his ability to speak a lot of languages, his professionalism. Surely if you choose a tour to do to get to know Madeira better, Mountain Expedition is the best choice, in every sense! Thank you guys!

Best Guided Tour - Amazing! The tour was a perfect mix of exploration and discovery of the Island. We really enjoyed the beautiful landscapes and the tasting of some of the iconic drinks of Madeira, like rum and poncha. Our guide, Vitor, made everything even more special. He's a great driver, he grew up in Madeira (so he knows everything about the island) and most important he's a great entertainer and a wonderful human being.

I highly recommend this tour ! - The Santana Combo jeep safari was amazing!!! We went to the east side of the island and we had 8 stops which we had plenty of time to go around and take pictures. Our driver and guide, Antonio, was really informative, funny and very kind! He drove us few times off the main road, through the forest and through the local tiny roads. Which was one of the highlights of the trip as the roads were very bumpy. The Pico Arieiro, the traditional houses in Santana village and the Ponta de Sao Lourenco were my favourites. However in every stop, the views were spectacular and breathtaking. Thank you so much !
