Super leuke gids en veel hoogtepunten van het Eiland mogen zien. Niet te lang op één plek, eigenlijk gebaseerd op de behoefte van de groep. Ideaal!

Tydligen är det INTE fri pickup från hotell The Views Oasis (detta område). Men eftersom det blivit ett missförstånd mellan TUI och arrangören så hämtade de upp oss ändå. Något ni måste kolla upp!

The whole day was wonderful. The guide took great care of us and took us to some lovely places. She picked us up on time directly from our hotel. She was very friendly and informative. There wasn’t anything we didn’t enjoy.

We actually booked both tours, Northeast and Northwest. The respective drivers Ruben and Ricardo are humble guys who love what they are doing. They take their time to present you to all the gems of their beloved home island. No rushing, a small group of people, save driving and a relaxed atmosphere were characteristics of these trips. We couldn't imagine a better way to explore Madeira.

Guiden var utrolig god på kommunikasjon og at vi alle hadde det bra. Han tok seg tid til alle. Flotte stoppesteder og han fortalte spennende historiee om hvert stoppested. En ting som burde vært på plass, er en sele til den som satt bakerst i jeepen.
