    Must-do tour to get a first impression of Madeira and visit some amazing places you would never find by yourself. Ross is a great guide and answers all questions you might have about Madeira during the drives and walkes but also gives you private time at the scenic places to enjoy those moments with your partner.

    Es war eine schöne Tour. Ross war ein super Guide, der uns mit vielen Infos versorgt hat. Fahrzeug fasst max. 3 Leute, war sehr bequem. Tour ist auch für nicht ganz so fitte Menschen geeignet. Bei der kurzen Levadawanderung gibt es zwar ein paar Stufen, die aber sehr gut zu schaffen sind. Ross hat uns nach der Tour auf unseren Wunsch in Funchal abgesetzt und uns dort noch mit weiteren Tipps versorgt. Wir buchen nächstes Jahr wieder bei ihm. Können wir bestens empfehlen. Danke für die tolle Tour

    Excellent value for money . Ross was very knowledgeable about the islands history and took us to some amazing places giving us detailed information on the history of each place and the island as a whole . There was a storm while up in mountains so it was impossible to see some of the amazing views so Ross took on a tour around Funchal which was much appreciated and very informative . I would recommend this tour as it is value for money and a great way to learn the history of the island , thanks
