West full day tour and Sunset Tour. Birthday celebrations and a much needed winter break. - We were lucky enough to take 2 trips with Hit the Road, a full day tour to really get a feel if the island and terrain, and a half day sunset tour. If you are visiting Madeira, or thinking of doing so, a 4x4 tour is essential. Car rentals to get to the heart of the Island would be scary at best, or if you do, make sure you’ve got a good working clutch! Travelling with local people, with the insight they give and the places they know how and where to access was a huge part of our experience. Staying away from crowds, and the flexibility needed alongside the changeable weather was so helpful, and their ethos is 👌. The Sunset tour in our last evening was nothing short of magical- bathed in golden light, above the clouds. Do it! Thanks Hit the Road team 🙏

Breathtaking beauty and fun! - Hugo was our driver/guide and was so fun and enthusiastic! It was so nice to be on a tour with a guide that was as excited about the tour as we were. There were 4 of us plus Hugo and we lucked into picture perfect conditions. He was a great driver on those insane mountain roads and tight hairpin corners and we felt safe at all times. We would highly recommend this tour.

Hugo is the best! Had an amazing time. - Overall fantastic experience. Our guide, Hugo, was hilarious, knowledgeable, an exceptionally skilled driver in very tricky terrain, and an overall pleasure to spend time with. The views were incredible and we got some amazing photos. We will definitely be booking again the next time we are in Madeira!

Sunset Tour - An Experience of a Lifetime on Madeira! - WOW!! We are just sorry we didn't book more tours with HTRM tours!! Since my wife and I were unable to do everything we wanted to do in Madeira during our 6-day trip, we do plan on returning sometime in the next couple of years. HTRM will be a bigger part of our planning the next time around. This sunset tour took our breath away, so I HIGHLY recommend it for anyone visiting the island!

With Hugo and the Beast to the Sunset - The Beast is extremely friendly. It even kisses the ranger's mirror. Another unforgettable experience in Madeira. Highly recommended.

All Rise For the Sunrise - From the word go, we had a great experience with Hit the Road. The joining instructions were precise, we were kept informed and our driver, Fernando, was punctual. Special praise goes to Elisa, who helped us to find waterproof jackets to buy as we stupidly had not brought any with us. She was so patient with us. As for Fernando, he is a force of nature! Friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, amusing and considerate. He has extensive knowledge of the island that he lives on and loves and he shared that with us. What a character, what a guy!
