A wonderful day with Luca - We toured the West side of the island with the best tour guide we have ever encountered. His enthusiasm and love of the island were very inspiring. He provided us with history of the island and information on how some places got their names. Each villa we visited was beautiful and the view points provided the most beautiful scenery which left us awestruck. The Fanal forest with the ancient trees in all different shapes and sizes oozed mystery and transported me back to the story of the Wizard of Oz. Thank you Luca and well done! We loved every minute of the tour. You made it informative and fun and it went by in a flash although we were out with you all day. We highly recommend this tour and highly recommend Luca as the guide.

Really cool trip! - Very good option how to see more places in Madeira, if you don't rent a car. Our guide Luca was funny, very caring, providing us lots of information about Madeira and visited places. Fanal forest and swimming in Porto Moniz were my highlights of the trip. Highly recommended! :)

Very nice tour of the West Island - would do it again! - This was a great tour and perfect opportunity to see much of the island in one day. The views were amazing and Fanal Forest was out of this world. Our guide/driver Luca did a great job of keeping everyone engaged, and shared a lot of good information about Madeira and its history.

A great whole day trip - We had a generous 8 stops on this tour . the guide was a safe driver but maybe could give a bit more info. Having read a guidebook I didnt need this . some people talked the whole time tho and didnt listen to him. we had to find our own lunch in Porto Moniz but there"s plenty of choice . The rock pools there are lovely : bring a swimsuit in summer.

Great day, despite the weather! - Postponed my tour from October, due to the fires at that time, although did the East tour. As Guillerme was a fantastic guide that day, I requested if he was available today and was so happy to see he was. This tour is different to most other tour companies, in that they go to some different places, like Fanal and to spend time at Seixal black sand beach and Ribeira de Janela. Unfortunately the weather deteriorated so not the best photos taken but our "family" for the tour all enjoyed our day. A really nice small group of people. Thank you for such a lovely day. Looking forward to more tours next year and hopefully with Guillerme!

Great tour, avoided crowds well. - We saw so many sights in one day. It was spectacular. The spots are exactly as you see in photos. The guide was informative and worked hard to avoid the crowds which was really helpful and efficient. Some of the jokes were a bit cringe though.

unbelievably bad - I booked a tour for my parents weeks ago. No one showed up on the booked date, my parents had to call to ask what was going on and were told "the guide is on vacation". The tour operator had both a phone number and an email contact, but we were not contacted. The tour was paid for in advance, and with this kind of business practice I'm not sure if we'll see the money again.
