We had an amazing full-day Jeep tour of Madeira with Jazz as our guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire day so fun and relaxed. We got to see so many beautiful parts of the island that we would never have found on our own, and Jazz did a great job tailoring the day to what we wanted to see. He gave us clear expectations of what to do at each stop, and kept the day running efficiently without us getting stuck in huge lines or crowds. Highly highly highly recommend this tour, and especially Jazz!

This tour sets itself apart from the others by caring about its clients and ensuring they truly enjoy the day! Roberto was very informative and friendly. He even came by our hotel to get us where other tours would only meet us at a bus stop which we were unfamiliar with since this was our first trip to Madeira. Six stars!

We had a very informative and pleasant day with Roberto and the other four passengers. When the road was closed due to an event occurring at Pico Areeiro, he quickly pivoted and took another route. Very upbeat and organized, the van was very comfortable, driving was excellent, and he nimbly switched from speaking Italian to English, including all of us. He even picked us up at our hotel vs the previous tour who had us go to a bus stop we weren’t familiar with. He was very knowledgeable and after the tour, gave us an authentic, local dinner place to try for dinner. Definitely worth the money and highly recommend !

It’s September and down in Funchal is was a beautiful day. We were shocked that it was so cold on top. Even though I had a light jacket the guide scrounged a winter jacket for several of us on the right. My husband had a rain suit back at the hotel but we never dreamed we’d need it. The wind was grueling. It was so wet that we could wring our clothes out. Not everyone made it all the way but you should definitely do this tour. We were up in the clouds and it was like walking on the top of a mountain. It was the best thing we did on this island. My advice bring a warm jacket that is waterproof if you can even if it’s beautiful at your hotel. At age 62 I made it all the way but some people could not go all the way. You should be in decent shape. Also wear shoes with good grip. Some of the rocks are slippery. When you get to the point where you see the gate …turn around…take a picture. This is where all the Google pics of people posing are. This is the hike you will remember your whole life….I guarantee it.

Diogo the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable 100% recommend this tour to anybody looking to see madeira

We had a great tour with Romero. He was so pleasant and had a lot of knowledge about the island. Showed us the most beautiful scenic viewpoints and we didn’t feel rushed. Highly recommend him

We would highly recommend this experience to anyone. Luís gave really good instructions and help the day in advance of the hike. Cláudio is a legend (he brought us on the tour). He collected us on time at the start of the day, was super friendly despite the early start, and despite our best efforts to ensure him we would be fine with the cold (being Irish) he was there to help us with some spare jackets when things got cold. He hung around whilst we watched the sunrise and was there for us when we got back to show us where to go next for PR3. After the day out and we got back to the coffee stop, and we all enjoyed coffees and delicious food together over great conversations. Thank you Luís & Cláudio - we will be recommending you to any of our friends or family that come visit the beautiful, Madeira 🇵🇹 from Keith & Niamh 🇮🇪

Good communication on booking and pick-up details. Pick up was exactly on time, and the group was only 7 people, which I appreciated. When the weather turned and we were unable to do the planned hike, rather than call it quits, Claudio took us below the rain clouds and to another sunset viewpoint. He managed to salvage the day by going above and beyond.Recommend this excursion for anyone who doesn't have a rental car or just doesn't feel up to navigating the mountain roads at night.

I am happy with the tour, the van was comfortable, the driver was pleasant and gave comments and advices on the places we visited. Be prepared for the wind and rain during the trip. It's your luck if there is no fog at Pico Arieiro and things can be seen from there.

Well organised trip. Picked up from hotel. Arrived in good time to get in to position to watch the sunrise. Excellent experience. Then walked to viewing point on PR1 and back before good walk down PR3 route for about 7km. Took 2.5 hours. Need moderate fitness for older people. 2 people went the wrong way but route well marked. If you download Mapy as advised and reference it to follow route then its impossible to go wrong. Superb cafe at end.

wonderful whale watching experience! We were lucky enough to see two dolphins but, beyond that, we had a great time with the On Tales crew. They provided us with water and drinks, information about the place we were seeing and about the animals, in addition to answering some tourist questions about the island. The approximately 2h30 tour includes a stop for a swim in the open sea for about twenty minutes (during which the crew provided us with masks and towels) and a photo service that allows you to observe the horizon without worries. Absolutely highly recommended and a great value for the price!

Amazing experience of a full day trip across north west part of Madeira with stops at Cabo Girao, Ponta Do Sol, Porto Moniz, Seixal, passing by Calheta to view the epic landscapes and drive over the clouds. Eucalyptus forest trail was great to be seen too! 2h stop at Porto Moniz to enjoy the swim in the volcanic pools. Cabo Girao required 5€ ticket to be purchased to get to the viewpoint at the glass bridge-not too much to be impressed of. Optional atop at zip line & swing, make sure you pre book this and let the booking team know so they can plan the daily trip schedule. Ideally zip line is great between 11:30 and 14:00. Francisco was very fun driver with great driving skills, great English and amazing historical knowledge of multiple locations we passed by. I would highly recommend this trip!

The path is jungle like with beautiful scenery. The falls weren’t running fast because it was in September but still a nice spot. Our guide, Elvio, was organized and knowledgeable. We loved the 1/2 mile tunnel too!!

I had a wonderful transfer experience to and from PR8 with Fábio. Definitely recommend!

The most incredible hike! I've done a fair few big hikes in my time and this was up there with the best! I can't recommend enough how much you need to do this trip!!!Our guide was Pedro, he was friendly, professional and an overall great guy.You get plenty of time for the walk itself and the transfers were smooth and easy.

Luis Fernandes is a great guide. He is very knowledgeable and does not rush. Thank you Luis it was great
