Fantastic half day trip
A fun relaxed way to see Madeira. John, our host/driver, was very welcoming and friendly. His knowledge was exceptional and he always went out of his way to make sure everyone was enjoying the trip. Highly recommend.

Great half day jeep safari
We did the nuns valley half day jeep safari tour, plenty of view points and two off road sections. John was our driver, he gave us plenty information during the tour. Well worth it.

Half day private tour
We had the best (half) day with our guide Gabriel. He was very welcoming, knowledgeable and a top guide to learn a lot about the island. We would highly recommend this tour. Even if you have (like us) a rental. You’re able to see places places you wouldn’t see on your own! Thank you very much for the great experience!

Fantastic experience
Great fun and fantastic views on our jeep safari. Scary roads but saw places we were unlikely to see otherwise. John, our driver, made sure it was an adventure to remember (for all the right reasons) 😁
