Above & beyond!
Had a great experience with ‘Lino Lil’ our driver, could talk the hind leg off a dog, cat, chicken, cockerel or a banana!!
Honestly a mine of information in this guy’s head, felt like a true local who knew roads other companies wouldn’t dare to use!
Thanks for today Lino!!

Eddie n Pedro were amazing.
What an amazing addition to our holiday in Madeira. We did the 'Craters of Fire' and the 'Madeira Peaks' Open top 4x4 excursions. We cannot praise Eddie (aka Jesus) and Pedro for their unlimited knowledge of the island. No question was unanswered. We left with a mind full of information and above all a great experience on both days. We have friends visiting later in the year and will definitely recommend you to them. Thank you again for making our holiday experience complete.

A perfect trip with a great guide
We had a very nice tour to the north east of the island. We stopped on a couple of attractions and view points, besides the overall impressive nature my personal highlights were the portions that we drove off road and also the visit of a rum distillery. Our guide and driver Duarte did a fantastic job…he explained a lot, so the trip was entertaining and we got some good knowledge on a lot of things too

Awesome Full Day Experience!
Filipe was an incredible
tour guide. We felt like precious cargo and engaged the entire time. His shared historical nuggets along the journey that truly gave us a sense of the islands’ culture. I highly recommend Green Devil 4x4 - ask for Filipe!

A good day out, a good...
A good day out, a good local driver/guide with lots of knowledge and enthusiasm. The trip was nice with just a small group, so it always felt personal.
The only negative was the weather at the top of the mountain, but this was outside of anyone’s control.

Unforgettable
Myself and my boyfriend booked this tour hoping to see the island’s beautiful sights but we got so much more than that. We were lucky enough to spend the day with Dino, an incredibly hardworking and genuine man whose passion and knowledge of Madeira made the trip unforgettable. From start to finish, Dino took care of us completely. His understanding of the island, its history, hidden gems, and culture was truly unmatched. You can tell he absolutely loves what he does, and it shows in every moment of the tour. Tour guides like Dino are a rare find these days, and we feel so grateful to have had him as ours. He made sure we were comfortable, safe, and having the best time possible throughout the entire day.
The experience itself was amazing the adrenaline of the ride, the unique access to spots most tours can’t reach, and the personal touch that made it all so memorable. We loved the experience so much that we specifically requested Dino for another tour a few days later and he made that one just as special. His consistency, kindness, and enthusiasm truly made our time in Madeira unforgettable.
