Very nice experience, we had a great time with filipe. Do not hesitate to launch, filipe is very comforting, very good guide
Cher(e) 795armellen, Un grand merci pour votre message si chaleureux ! Je suis vraiment ravi d’apprendre que vous avez vécu un moment aussi fort à mes côtés. Votre retour me touche sincèrement. Ce fut un véritable plaisir de vous accompagner tout au long de cette expérience, et j’espère avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau très bientôt pour un autre moment tout aussi spécial. Bien à vous, Filipe Freitas
If you are looking to escape the ordinary and skip the crowded tourist buses, Madeira Sidecar Tours is the way to go for it. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel, we knew we were in for a special treat. Riding in a vintage sidecar is such a unique and authentic way to explore Funchal and the surrounding cliffs; it felt like we had the whole island to ourselves. The wireless helmets are a brilliant addition because they allowed us to hear our guide’s passionate storytelling and local history in real-time, making every turn even more interesting. We liked how the experience was 100% private and tailor-made to our pace, taking us down narrow roads to hidden viewpoints and charming coastal villages that big buses simply cannot reach. The ride was incredibly safe and comfortable, and the sidecar itself serves as the perfect prop for some of the most stunning photos we’ve ever taken. It wasn’t just a sightseeing trip; it was a true journey filled with style and personality. We cannot recommend this private experience enough for anyone wanting a VIP perspective of Madeira.
Dear Edgar, Thank you for the wonderful feedback about Madeira Sidecar Tours. We’re thrilled you enjoyed discovering the hidden viewpoints and coastal roads around Funchal from the sidecar. It was a pleasure sharing the beauty of Madeira with you. Hope to see you again soon! Best regards, Filipe Freitas
I would highly recommend this activity. We were visiting Madeira for one day whilst on a cruise. Filipe contacted us directly to inform us he would meet us off the ship. As we only had one day he adapted the route so that we could see the highlights of the area. Our safety and comfort was a priority to Filipe, he took photos for us and then emailed them to us later on the day. Filipe shared lots of interesting information about Madeira and pointed out lots of things that we wouldn’t have noticed otherwise. He dropped us off in the old town and gave us instructions on how to get back to the ship, and ensuring that we would see the best of the old town area. When we are next in Madeira I will contact Filipe again to arrange another tour, the motorbike and sidecar is a really fun way to get around.
Dear Wendy_T, Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! It was truly a pleasure to welcome you to **Madeira Island** during your cruise stop and to provide you with a personalized sidecar tour experience.

Ensuring your safety, comfort, and overall enjoyment is always my top priority, so it’s fantastic to know that you felt well taken care of throughout the tour. Sharing the history, culture, and hidden details of Madeira is something I’m truly passionate about, and I’m glad you appreciated discovering places and viewpoints you might not have noticed otherwise. It was also my pleasure to capture those special moments for you and to guide you through the charm of the old town, making sure you experienced the very best before returning to your ship. A sidecar tour is indeed a unique and fun way to explore Madeira, offering unforgettable views and a truly authentic adventure. I look forward to welcoming you back to Madeira Island for another exciting motorcycle and sidecar tour in the future! Best Regards, Filipe Freitas
We really enjoyed our sidecar tour with Luis. He picked us up right at our cruise ship and he gave us an awesome customized tour of the area. The motorbike was in great condition and we felt very safe and comfortable. The helmets allowed us to communicate and hear all of the fascinating things that Luis was sharing with us. Luis was a great guide and a great guy all around. It was an honor and a privilege to spend our time on the island with him. We hope to visit again for a longer stay.

Luis truly loves sharing the beauty and culture of Madeira, and we’re glad his passion made your visit so memorable. We’d be honored to welcome you back for a longer stay and another unforgettable adventure exploring the stunning landscapes of Madeira by sidecar! Best Regards, Filipe Freitas
This is the 2nd time we used this company to see the sights a bit of a different way. We had asked for Tino again for our guide. He is an asset to the company. Again, his knowledge was great, and the sights he took us to, wow, the views were stunning. Also, using the bike and sidecar helped stay ahead of the tour buses, so no big crowds to contend with. I couldn't recommend this company enough, and I will definitely use it again if ever back in Madeira. (A tip is to make sure you have a jacket or coat with you) Thank you again, Tino, for a very enjoyable few hours. Hope to see you again.
Dear Alisonm800, What an absolute pleasure to read your review — and to know that you chose us for the second time! We’re truly grateful for your trust and delighted that you enjoyed another memorable ride with Tino. He’ll be thrilled to know his knowledge and passion helped make your tour so special once again. It’s wonderful that you loved the stunning views and the freedom of exploring Madeira by sidecar — the perfect way to stay ahead of the crowds and see the island from a whole new perspective. Thank you for your warm words, your great tip for future guests, and your amazing recommendation. We can’t wait to welcome you back for your third adventure with us. Best regards, Filipe Freitas
A must do tour! Professional informative and fun Louie was great! Felt safe at all times would do again on another visit Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Dear 353lb, Thank you very much for your kindly review! We’ll share your compliments with Louis! Best Regards, Filipe Freitas
Our second time and it won’t be our last! A fantastic tour again, seeing areas and towns you would not see on other tours, with a great guide (Nuno) who took us to views and spots away from the tourist hustle. In my opinion the best value on the island!
Dear K-Ctraveled, Thank you so much for your kind words and for joining us on a second sidecar adventure! We’re thrilled to hear you had another fantastic experience exploring hidden gems and scenic views off the typical tourist path. Nuno will be delighted to know he made your tour special once again. Providing authentic and memorable experiences across Madeira is exactly what we aim for, and it’s wonderful to know you see it as the best value on the island. We can’t wait to welcome you back for your next sidecar journey! Best Regards, Filipe Freitas
The bike is extraordinary and definitely a ride to repeat! We didn't pass unnoticed anywhere in the middle of the streets of Funchal
Olá Sérgio, Muito obrigado pela partilha da Vossa experiência. Será um enorme prazer voltar a encontrar-vos na próxima visita. Melhores Cumprimentos. Filipe Freitas
Went out to the east side if the island today with Felipe and had a great time. We had done the West Side previously with Nuno and that is highly recommended too. We were met off our cruise ship at the correct time and got underway with no problems taking in the town of Funchal and the outlying areas, including the Madiera statue of Christ the Redeemer. Felipe was very talkative and informative and happy to chat as we rode along through the helmet radios. Afterwards, we got dropped off in town and Felipe is going to email pictures to us to remember our trip by. Excellent company, a brilliant bike experience and great staff.
Dear Zippi56, Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you had another amazing **sidecar tour in Madeira**, this time exploring the east side with me. It was a pleasure showing you around **Funchal, the Cristo Rei statue, and the beautiful outlying areas**. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride, the insights shared along the way, and the seamless experience from cruise ship pickup to drop-off. Hearing that you've also toured the **west side with Nuno** and highly recommend both adventures truly means the world to us! Our goal is to provide unforgettable and personalized experiences, and your kind words affirm that we're on the right track. I’ll be sending your pictures soon so you can relive those special moments. Looking forward to welcoming you again for another adventure—maybe a **north-side ride next time?** 😉 Best Regards, Filipe Freitas
We had the best time and felt very safe on our trip! Filipe was an amazing tour guide and very accommodating. I highly recommend this excursion
Dear Sarah, Thank you very much for your Great Feedback and for sharing your experience with us. I look forward to your next visit, so we can go on another memorable tour. Take good care and see you soon. Best regards, Filipe Freitas
