Fabulous way to see the island
Absolutely fantastic day with Nuno, exploring the west side of Madeira. We left the itinerary in his hands and were not disappointed. This has been our favourite experience of the trip. Exceptional value for money considering all the locations we visited. Super guide, very knowledgeable and patient, allowing us time to immerse ourselves in each corner. My mother who joined me has mobility issues - the sidecar was perfect and Nuno Elias exceptionally patient while we got her in and out of the vehicle. A “must book” - better than any other tour there is. Thank you so much

Unique experience and the best way to see Madiera
What an absolutely amazing experience and the very best way to see beautiful Madiera with expert local knowledge. Our guide was Tino. He was careful, thoughtful and friendly. Super knowledgeable and clearly loves his country. I wouldn't want to see Madiera in any other way! We will be back.

Amazing Madeira experience
What a fabulous experience we just had with Madeira Sidecar Tours. Gino our driver and guide showed us just a small part of Madeira and shared his knowledge and passion for this beautiful island. What a great way to experience this lovely island - can’t recommend it highly enough. Travelling with a guide is so much better than trying to do it alone especially if you are restricted with time.

Banana, to vine, to nuns valley
This trip was a last minute decision (to avoid a football match) for mother and son. We were met at our hotel by Luis who gave us a personal tour with a mix of coast and forest views. He was a true gentleman and was an encyclopedia of information on Madeira past and present.
We toured ports, view points, picnic and forest areas, a place for coffee and poncha before a fast run on the motorway back.
I made my decision to book after an earlier review said don't hesitate in making a reservation. It was the best advice and I echo the message..... go on, book now. You really will enjoy it😀
