If it is your first time to Madeira, then I would highly recommend this tour as a great way to experience the natural beauty of Madeira. Our guide Paolo was fantastic and made our tour an unforgettable experience. He was knowledgeable and entertaining all at once and went out of his way to make sure we got the most out of our tour. I couldn’t recommend him more highly - 5 plus stars!

Great ride down scam ride back

Madeira Highlights: Toboggan, Garden & Cable Car (All-Inclusive)
Runaway27, Sep 2026
Great ride down scam ride back
We took the cable car round-trip, which was unbelievable, the sites were fantastic and reaching the top we decided to take a toboggan ride since that’s a very popular attraction. When we reached the bottom which was about 1 1/2 km we inquired about a taxi ride to the cable car station again and that fee was going to be between 25 and €30 which we thought was a scam since it’s only about a 6 to 7 minute ride. As a protest we walked back up the very steep grades for the kilometer and a half, an Uber ride would have cost about six euros, but they are prohibited, upon mentioning it to a few other tourists within earshot of a taxi driver, he turned around and said if you have money to go down, then you should have money to go back up. The taxi drivers have a scam there so beware. The walk up is not for the faint of heart, luckily, even at my age I’m in great shape and did it solely in protest.

We thoroughly enjoined the trip! The boat offers a great alternative to the majority of tours conducted on high speed powerboats. Everyone was middle aged and older—all nationalities—and everyone got along. The lunch was delicious and the swim spot was perfect!

Nice experience about a replica of the Santa Maria. The replica is very close to the original, although it has a diesel engine and some modern navigation means. The ship is bigger inside than what it looks from the outside. It feels like sailing in the 15th century. Unfortunately there was not enough wind to travel by sail.

Great experience which we really enjoyed. Neil, the host met us as planned at the first food stop where we had a wonderful tapas lunch. The chocolate stop was next with which we chose the Madeira wine drink option. All the stops were lovely but our next favourite was the cheese and wine tasting where the shop owner was so passionate about his products.
