Be aware of the potentially rapid changes that can occur in the weather in Madeira and especially in the mountains and dress accordingly. Our guide Nini was nice and jolly and adjusted the trip after discussion to take account of the change in weather.

Great tour despite low clouds. Lots of interesting places to see. Our driver Luis Mateo was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. His language skills were wonderful. Good sense of humour.

Roberto was very pleasant guide and a very safe driver on the zigzag roads. Gave lots of information and stops to see what he was talking about. It was a shame about the morning weather, but we can't control that. Other view stops were great with just the right time.

The guide was very informative. The views were bresth taking. In parts it was very misty very damp but beautiful. In other parts it was as if you were walking on the moon very volcanic. Terrific day.

This trip is an excellent way to see some of the main sights of the island. A group of about a dozen in a comfortable mini bus driven by our guide. Guide was an excellent driver - he gave a very informative commentary on the sights. He was also good on the culture and history of Madeira. We stopped several times -for coffee break, lunch and at viewing points. Each stop gave good time to walk and see the sight. We learnt a lot about the amazing trees, plants, flowers and agriculture of the island.
