Suzanna was an amazing guide, with great knowledge and extremely accommodating. We didn’t feel rushed at any point, which is a refreshing change.
Suzanna sounds like an absolute gem of a guide. Having someone who is genuinely accommodating and knows how to pace a tour makes all the difference in the world, especially on an island with so much to take in.
This was our favorite day tour that we took in Madeira. ( The other tours we took were to the East, West, and Nun Valley.) it wasn’t our favorite tour just based on being able to have lots of wine. Susanna, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable. She explained the history of the island, the history of the different produce grown on the island, and the history of wine on the island. Each stop was beautiful. Taking a cable car down to see a farm right on the water was fun. We got to walk to the water and the beach so we could experience first half of the stones. The winery was beautiful and educational. The wine was delicious, as was the lunch. At the last stop, we tried some of the classical Madeira Wine, before getting to try some of the 10 and 15 year Madeira Wine. The day flew by.
It is fantastic to hear that this was your favorite tour in Madeira. We are glad Susana shared such great insights on our history and produce. The cable car and beach walk are truly special ways to see the island. We are also happy you enjoyed the winery and the aged Madeira wines. Thank you for choosing us and we hope these memories of the wine and scenery stay with you for a long time.
Susan is a wonderful driver and tour guide. She went out of her way to make every aspect of our tour personalized to us. The tour of Quinta do Barbusano Winery was absolutely a must do with a very educational tour of the vineyard, wine tasting, and delicious traditional espetada lunch. We even went to the kitchen to watch our meal preparation and took a photo with the owner and chef, Antonio.
Thank you for this wonderful review. We are so glad Susan’s personalized touch made your day special. It is fantastic that you enjoyed the educational tour and the traditional espetada at Quinta do Barbusano. Meeting Antonio and seeing the kitchen is exactly the kind of authentic experience we love to provide. We will share your kind words with Susan and the team at the winery.
Group of 8 had car to ourselves. Relaxed itinerary. Delightful driver who was very chatty and full of information about the island. We had a very good guide at the vineyard.
Thank you for the lovely review. We’re so glad your group of 8 enjoyed having the vehicle to yourselves—it really makes for a more personal adventure. It's great to hear our driver’s stories and the vineyard tour made the day special. We believe a relaxed pace is the best way to soak in Madeira’s beauty. We hope to see you again for another 'delightful' day
We booked a private tour with Susana and had the most amazing day! We went to a gorgeous winery and enjoyed their wine and the most delicious traditional meal we had our whole trip! Susana asked about our trip and then customized our tour to ensure we saw the island as we wanted. She didnt make us feel rushed in any location and explained a lot of the history and culture of the island. Definitely recommend a tour with her and her company!
That sounds like an absolutely amazing day! Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful feedback about your private tour. We are thrilled to hear that Susana created such a special and personalized experience for you. Your strong recommendation for a tour with Susana and her company is the highest compliment we can receive! We will certainly pass on your high praise to her.
My cousin and I really enjoyed our visit to a winery in Madeira. We first visited a church with beautiful views in Camara De Lobos. Then off to experience the steepest gondola ride to the shoreline where we were able to walk amount the shoreline and see how Maderian people grew various fruits and vegetables. We visited a lovely winery and toured the winery site with a specialist, tasted 7 varietlals and had a delicious lunch of espetada, salad, potatoes and passion fruit mouse for dessert. After that we stopped at Henrique's & Henrique's for some fortified Maderian wine tasting! Great guide full of history and knowledge of Maderia. Highly recommmend the tour!!

What a great day we had! Extra fun and interesting things seen and done during this private tour for us! Suzanna is such a great guide, she knows so much to tell you about the island! We were pleasantly surprised by this day and what we all saw and did. The snacks, wine and lunch were perfectly catered for. Lots of tips, very interesting 👌😃 A very big recommendation, this tour. Suzanna, THANKS!! 🫶
We're thrilled you had such a fantastic private tour and enjoyed all the special touches, from the snacks and wine to Suzanna’s insightful tips. Your warm recommendation means so much to us.
This is a wonderful trip. Susana is an excellent and entertaining guide, conveying useful information about the country, its history and politics, as well as about wine production. The wines and barbecue lunch were all first rate. Highly recommended.
We're delighted you enjoyed the tour and Susana’s engaging insights into Madeira’s history and wine culture. Great to know you loved the wines and barbecue lunch. your recommendation means a lot to us.
While our tour on 9/5 itself (wineries, lunch) were spectacular, the driver/tour guide was not. I don’t know his name because I don’t even think he introduced himself, but he spoke very broken and mumbled English to the point no one on the tour could understand him. He also didn’t give the kind of history and background we expected, it would be like “and look out the window, there are vines” and that’s it. There was also not clear communication at our first stop with the cable car, he just said come back in an hour. We didn’t know if we were meeting someone at the bottom or what to do so we just roamed around and kept track of time, it was odd. Lunch & tour/views at Quinta do Barbusano were incredible!
Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. We're glad you enjoyed the wineries, lunch, and the beautiful views at Quinta do Barbusano. We’re truly sorry the guiding part of the tour didn’t meet expectations, and your comments about communication and storytelling are very valuable to us. Your feedback helps us improve our service moving forward.
