Excellent West Tour. - The West tour was excellent. It was well organised and the minibus was very modern and comfortable. Hugo, the driver and guide, was very friendly, humorous, and informative, explaining all about the flowers, trees, agriculture, culture, climate etc. He often made short stops on the road to show various plants, trees and animals. The main stops were all worthwhile and picturesque. Certainly to be recommended.

Excellent service - Excellent service from this company on Go West and Nuns Valley tours. Well priced too. The owner took me to the first stop as I had missed the bus due to a misunderstanding about the pick up time.

The pick up was exactly on time, the group was only 8, the vehicle super clean and was very comfortable, the sights,sounds and information great and our guide for the day Nico excellent. He was a very safe driver, professional and friendly and full of information delivered with some humour. We would definitely use and again and 100% recommend

Madeira East tour - The tour was excellent, comprehensive, the guide Luis was extremely kind and very informative. In addition to wild landscapes that often take your breath away, we are introduced to interesting details from the history of Madeira and everyday life, which completes the impressions and gives a broad picture of the cultural uniqueness of this fascinating island. Even though he was a young man, he was also educational on some general life topics, which all contributed to a general good impression and good energy among the passengers. Thanks to the agency Happy tours and to Luis personally

Fantistic day tour - go West - We had a great day on the West tour. Luis our driver/guide was very knowledgable and helpful - my wife was using a wheelchair and he was always there to help, carrying the wheelchair down steps when needed. The booking process online was easy and the company responded quickly to e-mails. Thanks for a great day. We can definitely recommend both the company and the west tour.

Exceptional experience - My sister and I booked two tours with Madeira Happy Tours The booking process was easy, and their website very intuitive. Laura sent us more information by e-mail. We went on the West day tour and half-day tour in Nun's Valley. For both tours our guide was Hugo. A special thanks goes to him. Hugo was outstanding, a nice person, educated, intelligent, prepared , he showed us Madeira as we could never have seen it on our own. We are very grateful to him for sharing Madeira's history, traditions and culture with us. We recommend Madeira Happy Tours to everyone because everything was perfect and well organised.  Of course, we look forward to visiting Madeira again with them.

Great tour of the West coast - Great tour with Happy tours Madeira - we got a good deal while looking for our tour in the parade of shops selling different tours. Our driver Hugo was great, picked us up from outside our hotel. He was very informative and friendly and gave lots of facts about the island. The West tour was very enjoyable with lots of great viewpoints and stops on the way. Highly recommend. Only complaint would be on this tour we stopped at the natural pools which you can swim in - we were not told about this at time of booking! We did ask if anywhere to stop for a swim and were told no. We were really disappointed to miss out as Port Moniz we had 1.5hr stay and could have easily taken a swim and had lunch in that time. So make sure you pack costume! Would recommend this tour.
