A friend recommended this tour directly and we were not disappointed. The guide (Fabio?) was awesome. Told us so much about the island and its history, and we were able to get far away from the cruise port and see parts of the island that we otherwise would have missed. And it’s a beautiful island very much worth seeing. Would definitely come back to Mederia and use these guys again for other tours.
Fabio was great and made the whole day amazing! He was very friendly and our kids loved him. We went to so many amazing places and Fabio gave us great info throughout the tour. And was very flexible working with our kids and our whole family. I couldn’t give more praise for Fabio and our tour.
We had a wonderful individual day with Miguel. Were picked up by him punctually at the hotel. He showed us places and paths that we would never have visited otherwise. The old donkey path and the off-road drive through the eucalyptus forest as well as other "roads" were enriched by him with a lot of information. The visit to the small restaurant with wonderful meat skewers should also be mentioned. We can join the many good reviews and highly recommend the tour. The price-performance ratio is very good here. Special thanks go to Miguel, who even conducted the tour for us in German.
No one knows Madeira like Miguel. We saw and learned so much from him. He was so kind and courteous too. I would highly recommend this excursion.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Private Off-Road Jeep Safari in Madeira! What an incredible experience! Our private off-road jeep safari was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Madeira. Our guide and driver, Miguel, was absolutely fantastic. He was friendly, funny and incredibly knowledgeable about the island. Throughout the tour, he shared so many interesting stories and facts about Madeira, its nature, history and local life – always with a great sense of humour. We drove high up into the mountains and explored Madeira’s fascinating ancient forests. Miguel showed us wild herbs, eucalyptus and the beautiful laurel trees, and explained so much about the unique vegetation of the island. One of the most magical moments was when we drove so high onto the mountains that we were literally above the clouds. The views were breathtaking and something we will never forget. The combination of off-road adventure, spectacular scenery, nature and Miguel’s wonderful personality made this tour truly special. An amazing experience from beginning to end. We would do it again anytime and can highly recommend Miguel and this private jeep safari to anyone visiting Madeira! Thank you, Miguel, for an unforgettable day! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Fantastic day exploring the island! Tiago was amazing and we learned a lot. Highly recommend this tour and Tiago as your guide. We swam and did off-roading and visited towns and shopped and ate.
Superb family moment! The 4x4 was great for going on trails and for arriving at the top of the Valley of the Nuns. Thanks also to Miguel for the stops at typical places and all the explanations. Highly recommended.
Great way to see highlights of the island and the many, beautiful and varied landscapes. The off-roading was just the right amount of adventure!
Booking this driving service was well worth the experience. Our driver knew so much about the country and showed us all the main spots, but also introduced us to some hidden gems. The tour was flexible based on our needs, but it allowed us to see all the main spots without having to worry about logistics.
Fantastic day! Miguel was a wonderful guide! He taught us so much about the island and took us to so many beautiful places we would have never been able to get to in a rental car! Absolutely wonderful day! Can not recommend this tour enough! My three boys said it was their favorite day on the island. 10 out of 10!
