“A great day out exploring the east of the island. Our lovely driver, Alex, took us to so many beautiful places with plenty of time to wander and take photos. We never felt rushed. My favourite part was the Miradour dos Balcões where the birds fed on our hands. The off-roading bit was fun too - especially for those in the back with top down! Alex booked some of us into a restaurant in Santana which was lovely and good value for money. I can recommend the Black Scabbard and banana which is a local speciality. I'd definitely recommend this tour as you see so much in just one day.”

“Great value tour. The guide was very nice and knowledgeable and explained and showed us so many things along the way. I learned so much about the island in a fun way. I felt that we had sufficient time at each place and we saw the best sights of the eastern part of the island. The group size was about 8, which was great. We had about 8 hours on this tour, which I felt was perfect. The lunch provided was very nice and excellent value. Overall highly recommended to do this tour as you learn a lot, you can rely on your guide to show you the best things…”

Your driving skills on all the back roads to give us a feel for Madeira as it was before being developed was great and your 4x4 was so comfortable! Too many beautiful stops to mention but it was a day filled with so many memorable moments. Took so many photos and the beauty will be with us forever! Thanks again for such a fantastic day.”
