“It was recommended to me to do a Jeep Tour on my first day in Madeira. So glad we did. Justino our jeep driver and tour guide was fabulous.

“We really enjoyed our tour of Madeira, and our guide Sergio was extremely knowledgeable and fun. He knew when the big tour buses were going to go to the spots we were also going to, and timed it so we'd miss most of the big crowds. His van was very clean and well maintained, and with all the steep hills and windy roads, we were happy the brakes worked well! Sergio was happy to answer all our questions, and we learned not only about where we toured, but about how the people lived and worked in Madeira. We were lucky with the weather, which was a nice bonus for our…”

I would highly recommend this tour as it was local company and I had Lucia who took me on North Tour earlier that week, very knowledgeable and it was great to visit a local restaurant for lunch, Calheta and a local banana plantation to understand the history & what they do with it.”
Pick the coast, the wine, the water or the walk.
