The tour was nice. I appreciate our guide who despite having a bad day (agency logistics wise) he was nice, kind, funny and ensured we were all happy, informed and comfortable.

Overall ok, some of the stops didn’t add much to the day. The restaurant recommended for lunch was average. The guide was knowledgeable.

Lovely day taking in many sights on the island. Perfect opportunity to take in some history about the island approaching each location and then being given the opportunity to explore each area for a suitable length of time. Our host for the day and our driver were absolutely fantastic. I’m sorry their names have escaped me but we felt perfectly at ease with each of them. Would definitely recommend this trip. A relaxing way to explore!

Good Tour. We saw many nice places in one day. We had a long stop in port Moniz and many small ones in beautiful places.

Really enjoyable trip overall. Got to see a number of different parts of the island which is beautiful. Some of the stops are longer than would like which is the main issue when in a bigger group. Our driver and guide Bruno was very informative and funny.

The driver was great, and give a ton of information. We did a lot of stops, but not a lot of time each stop.

We had a great full day tour of the West with a very pleasant ,skilled and informative driver and guide called Bruno. All information regarding the itinerary, the sights, history and culture was delivered by Bruno in a clear, consice and light-hearted manner in Portuguese, German and English language . The pace of the tour suited us and we were delighted to have the opportunity to swim in the natural pools at Porte Moniz and also enjoy lunch in a lovely little restaurant. I would recommend the tour to anyone interested in having a relaxed and informative experience of the West and North West of beautiful Maderia
