Despite the weather at the top, this hike was incredible. The views were breathtaking. Our guide, Paulo Jesus, was fantastic and made us feel completely safe throughout. It was comforting having all the arrangements (pick up, taxis, passes) taken care of for us. All in all, a wonderful experience.

Amazing Experience on PR1 and PR1.2
We had a wonderful private hike in Madeira with Paulo Jesus. He is a certified guide, very warm and fun, and extremely knowledgeable about the island, in our case the PR1 and PR1.2 trails.
Paulo knew exactly what time to start the hike to avoid the crowds and give us the best possible views and weather conditions. He also made all the necessary arrangements so that we could reach the peak in time to enjoy the sunset, which made the experience truly unforgettable.
I very much appreciated Paulo’s friendliness, professionalism and the quality of our conversations throughout the hike. He made us feel safe, comfortable and well looked after while also sharing fascinating information about Madeira.
I would absolutely recommend Paulo to anyone considering a private tour or hike in Madeira. He offers a genuinely personal experience and knows how to make the day special, which is a good value for the money.

Pico Grande!!
Hiking with Paulo was the best thing we did on our trip to Madeira. We particularly enjoyed our hike to Pico Grande! The views were phenomenal and there would have been parts we were nervous to do on our own but felt very safe with Paulo as our guide. If you’re reading these reviews - don’t look any further. Book with Paulo. He will tailor the trails to suit your level and your interests so that you can have the best possible time!

Captivating panoramic views!
We did a second hike with Paulo through beautiful volcanic scenery! We really enjoyed our secret trail with amazing view points. The hike included some steep hikes but we felt safe every step of the way! Paulo has fantastic knowledge of the region and great local recommendations.
We even finished off with a Nikita at the end!

Amazing guide!
Had the best time with Paulo during the Pico De Arieiro to Pico Ruivo Hike! He was really helpful answering my questions before the hike and he was really kind during the hike. He explained everything about the island and we had lots to talk about. Definitely recommend booking a hike with Paulo. Going on a second one tomorrow!!

Excellent hike with experienced guide
Paolo is an excellent guide, with much knowledge of the entire island. He is an extremely experienced hiker and guide, and had great awareness of our group’s needs and abilities. He sensed when to take breaks and when to push on, and made the hike feel enjoyable and not rushed. We had a full day with him, and will absolutely book him again for other nature exploration when we return to the island next year.

An unforgettable day in Madeira with the best local guide - Paulo
Me and my sister had a full-day tour with Paulo. It was such a pleasure to spend the day with him, and he picked the best possible places to visit is such a short time.
We have definitely had an unforgettable day with beautiful memories.

Sensational sunrise hike and guide, highly recommended!
Absolutely incredible and unforgettable hike through breathtaking mountainous scenery.
We began with a beautiful sunrise at Pico do Areeiro (jacket recommended due to the strong winds) and finished at the highest point on Madeira island at Pico Ruivo, taking in sights of the various peaks and infamous Nuns Valley below, among others.
Our local guide Paulo looked after us from the early morning pick up at the hotel right throughout the day, answering all our questions knowledgeably on the flora and fauna, and taking extra care and patience when the trail became challenging. His passion for the mountains was clear to see, going as far as clearing litter left behind by other walkers. Having a certified guide carrying additional safety equipment provided us with peace of mind to focus on enjoying our day out. It was definitely worth booking this private tour with Paulo for that personal touch, more so when watching those on the larger group tours (often with non-local guides) more or less being left to their own devices!
Highly recommended, especially to those with less experience needing the extra encouragement!
