Overview

These tours are designed for those who want to spend a day with a local, like a local, avoiding crowds and visiting even the must-see places at the quietest times.
All tours are led by a single guide — myself — and I love what I do. I always add something special to each tour, making it unique, just like my guests, and I go the extra mile to ensure an unforgettable experience.
I begin every tour with a personal agenda, because I want you to feel the love and passion I have for this incredibly beautiful island!

Meeting and Pickup

Pickup point
Pickup details

These are private tours with a single pick-up stop, and the adventure begins as soon as we meet. Important: pick-ups outside Funchal, Santa Cruz, and Câmara de Lobos incur a small additional fee. I drive a car branded with the Go Local Madeira logo and usually pick up guests at their door. For on-shore tours, I’ll meet you at the cruise ship dock and provide clear, easy-to-follow instructions to ensure a smooth and stress-free meeting.I have two fully restored all-terrain vehicles for your comfort and safety:Nissan Patrol (1993) – 5 seats: 1 facing forward, 4 in the back facing sideways (60 cm / 23 inches each), with a panoramic/convertible roof for amazing views.Land Rover Discovery TDI (1996) – 4 seats facing forward, perfect for a comfortable ride.Vehicles are assigned depending on availability, maintenance, or weather conditions, with prior notice given to guests.

What To Expect

We will explore the East of Madeira, the region with more diversity in culture, forest, hikes, flavors, and breathtaking landscapes. In the East is so easy to avoid the beaten track and touristy places and more than a tour, you can experience a full immersion, where you will feel like a local. This tour will be customized to my guests depending on their expectations or places they want to visit. I can also provide an on-time designed tour just after talking with guests and knowing what they would like to do or if they have any interests in particular and i can suggest some itineraries that can fulfill their expectations.

The pickup time is merely a suggestion. Travelers can choose the time to be picked up, upon agreement with the guide.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
