Excellent visit outside Funchal

Marco was a very knowledgeable guide. He was able to provide so much history about the island of Madeira. I liked that the tour took me out of Funchal and to parts of Madeira where I never would have ventured out on my own. Once the tour ended, he offered to extend the tour and visit yet another site. Another plus, he recommended an excellent restaurant in Old Town Funchal which was amazing.

Great Half-Day Tour With Richard

Richard promptly met us at the cruise terminal. We enjoyed the combination of a walking/driving tour of Funchal and Camara de Lobos, stopping for a Poncha and Nikita at a local establishment. We would recommend Richard without hesitation.

Historic tour.

The history of Madeira was something that impressed the family still above told by a local guide. The Enterprise was very careful with us in this pandemic phase.

Well organized tour.

Excellent tour in company of the Enterprise guide. The historical and cultural explanations are very accurate. The Enterprise at this stage of COVID-19 has met all safety standards. By being a private Service we feel safe. I recommend.

Comprehensive tour of scenic and historic sites

I thoroughly enjoyed Richard and the half day private tour. He was highly informative, very factual and entertaining. I was treated to fantastic viewpoints, aqueducts and an ancient bridge. We visited a lovely coastal fishing village, local church and restaurants offering their historic drinks! I would highly recommend Pearl of the Atlantic for a memorable tour of Madeira!
