5Luis was the most...
Luis was the most informative guide, respectful, especially with driving and his restaurant suggestions we bang on. We loved every minute of this tour and believe we saw the ENTIRE island.
5The views...just WOW!
Luis is very knowledgeable, helpful and answered any questions we had throughout our full day tour. Luis was very professional, courteous and stopped at beautiful areas from the East, West, North and South on Madeira. Beautiful photo opportunities. 100% recommend this tour.
5Best Ever Madeira Tour
Best comprehensive tour of Madeira, especially if you have Guilherme as your driver/guide. We greatly enjoyed the stops, views, and conversation with him. Definitely worth the time and cost. Highly recommend it and him!!
5Awesome tour!
Luis was amazing! We had the best time touring this gorgeous island! Luis is extremely knowledgeable about the island and is willing to offer help and suggestions on what to do and where to eat/drink. The best day we've had in our 2 week Portugal vacation! If you come to Madeira, do this tour!
1Appalling service and NOT a private tour!
We booked a private tour several weeks ago and had confirmation from them. The afternoon before we had an email advising there would be 4 on our ‘private’ trip. We were surprised but agreed. Unfortunately the other couple refused as wanted the ‘private’ trip we had both booked. Trip Advisor then emailed us to say our trip ( the next day) was cancelled!!!! We contacted the tour company who advised we could rebook it with them for same day but for MORE money!!!! Why did they confirm both bookings as ‘private’ then expect us both to accept it was for 4? Why then offer us the same tour but for more money? When I emailed them saying I thought this was a scam and would give them an honest review, they apologised and offered a price reduction!!! Very bad experience and very stressful!
