Thank you again Nuno Tony & Liz”

“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…”

“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.”
