“Renato made our short stay in Madeira spectacular! His fun stories and pointing out all the plants made the trip very special! Also we loved that we could go around by ourselves in the viewpoints or just stay an enjoy our time in a cafe. Thank you so much for the tour!”

“We were picked up from the hotel lobby. Our guide was very thorough asking us what we would like to gain and see during the journey. We made our way through the Port and Lido area and then went very high up into the mountains and enjoyed fabulous scenery. Would highly recommend!”

“Avoid avoid avoid! Tour was a no show! Shortly after the schedule pick up time of 9am I called the number on my booking voucher (the voucher only issued when a tour is booked and PAID for). They said they had no details of my booking! They said nothing they could do and a full refund would be given. No apology or suggestion of an alternative for that day only another day. Given we only had a long weekend and it was our last full day that was not possible. If you are refunding you have the details!!! The biggest issue was the waste of our time. At this point…”

“Luis is an excellent and caring tour guide. We had a fabulous private tour which was exactly what we wanted. Beats the ship organised tours hands down. We saw all aspects of this beautiful island and well explained by a passionate local. Thank you Luis. Nick & Connie”

“We were thrilled with our private island tour by 4x4! Nicco was excellent for communicating and very responsive to our request's, to change starting time and when our cruise changed our arrival time in Funchal. Our driver was Diego, he was on time and gave us a good overview of our day and asked us at any point and time if we wanted to make changes he was there to accommodate us. He was very conscious of our time requirements and in providing plenty of time to meet our all aboard requirements. I would highly recommend this tour and this operator. Thank you Diego and Nico for a First Class…”

“This trip was done with my daughter and I really enjoyed this trip , Christopher was my guide , really fun and funny guy . Very packed schedule , enjoyed every stop . Wear proper running shoes .”

“Val was incredibly knowledgeable and very passionate about providing the ultimate tour experience possiable of his island home. He was born and raised in Madeira and knows the island inside and out. His 4wd vehicle will take you to places and experience views that other tours cannot do. He customized the tour according to what we wanted to see and even planned visits around the weather. If you want to experience Maderia through the eyes of a "local", who has a passion for sharing his island home with you, then Val is your man. We hired him for 2 full days and came away 110% satisfied. Highly recommended.”

“Fabulous tour of the west with Paulo and the east with Renato. Both were very knowledgeable and entertaining guides with an enthusiasm and passion for the island. The places we stopped at were great on both days, although the Pico do Areeiro was misty and we couldn’t see anything- can’t predict the weather. That said, the journey up and down was an experience in itself! We were collected promptly from the hotel and dropped back at the end of the tour. Fabulous- would recommend this thoroughly.”

“We did the East Tour and the West Tour in November 2025. Both days we had excellent, knowledgeable guides/drivers. Two days that were fun and we learned a lot about the island and the botany. We can only recommend.Auto-translated”

“What an incredible trip! Thanks to our driver for a fabulous experience around the lovely parts of the island! This experience is highly recommend and well worth it especially considering how personalised it is! Our driver was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of tips and information.”

“Although the weather was wet the first portion of the day, it was a great tour of the north and northeast parts of Madeira. Daniel was an excellent driver and guide, and filled us in on an incredible amount of information and trivia, and allowed us ample time at the stops to enjoy them. The rum distillery was a highlight, as were several viewpoints, and the levada walk. Time well spent.”

“The most spectacular tour ever! We've seen so much under 8 hours, I'll need several days to process all impressions. Val (our guide) is amazing person - so much knowledge of Madeira and so skilful driver! He took us places we would never find otherwise! We're so grateful!”

“From start to finish, Michael was the consummate guide, sharing lots of factual info about beautiful Funchal. We weren’t rushed…he safely maneuvered the narrow streets up and down the steep hills of the city. We got to see amazing vistas from various locations, especially from The higher elevations. He was flexible as well as considerate, so we saw and learned so much about this unique location off the coast of Africa. (The weather canceled the toboggan ride; we had to be flexible ourselves.) Another outstanding Viator excursion!!”

“Antoni was both the driver and tour guide. Very nice and professional and good sense of humor. The issue was the van. I probably had 7 inches from the edge of my seat to the next row. I’m 5’9” and I couldn’t get my left leg (non-aisle) leg comfortable due to lack of room.”

“Unfortunately due to the fires, I was unable to do Pico do Areeiro, however, Nico was very communicative throughout the process and suggested another hike which was beautiful. Do not book with any other companies. I unfortunately had two other companies cancel for other hikes, both within days of when I was scheduled. Nico was able to get me in for another custom hike which was equally as beautiful. His guides know all of the secrets to the hikes I would have never know, as in different routes, not as busy of hikes, etc. Highly recommended them!”
