Enjoyed this day trip out to see the eastern side of Madeira, in a air conditioned mini bus. Jose our driver, was really pleasant and informative, fluent in English as well as Portuguese, was a very safe driver. Some lovely spots on our tour, with adequate time to enjoy the scenery and take photographs. A very beautiful island with very diverse scenery, I would recommend this eastern tour with Jose as your driver! Thank you.

Another fabulous island tour with a great knowledgeable guide, Marcos. Such good value for money. A small minibus with about 16 passengers - French, Portuguese and Brits. Lots of stops and amazing views in the mountains and around the coast. I can thoroughly recommend this day tour.

Full day excursion of the eastern part of the island with our lovely driver, Nuno, in a very comfortable minibus. There was a sensible amount of time at each stop. We thought the price represented good value considering how much we saw of this amazing island and would certainly recommend this trip. Nuno provided interesting information but he didn’t talk too much so we could concentrate on all the views.
