It was a great drive across the islands seeing the impressive internal mountain range with dramatic clouds. This contrasted with the rest of the trip around some beautiful coastline and even a small Levada walk. The trip was finished with a short tour/tasting session at a Rum factory. Our driver Eddie was great and knew the roads/off roads well with an impressive knowledge of the island. I would recommend this trip to get a ‘taste’ of the island.
Well paced, enjoyable day exploring the north side of the island. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had an impressive range of languages (moving between Portuguese, English and German seamlessly throughout our trip to keep everyone included). Off roading in the jeep was fun and exhilarating but always felt very safe!
Excellent trip unlike a lot of jeep trips we were 1 jeep. Leonardo was extremely knowledgeable about everything, and was entertaining with silly jokes. The trip took us to the top of pico do areeiro where we given time to wander. The Levada walk was well organised and although unaccompanied Leonardo made sure we didn't get lost. Lunch in Santana was not included which gave us a choice of where and what to eat with Leonardo giving advice. The off road bit was good fun. Would recommend mountain expeditions
Our second tour with the same company, also did the West off-road tour the day before. Both quite different and equally enjoyable, thanks again. The drivers are excellent drivers and very knowledgeable locals, really recommend the old road version for the best experience.
If you’re planning to visit the breathtaking island of Madeira, I highly recommend Antonio as your guide for the 4x4 Jeep road tour. He is an outstanding host—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about showcasing the beauty of Madeira. Antonio is not only a great tour guide, but also a wonderful family man who makes you feel safe and welcome throughout the journey. He knows the best scenic routes, hidden gems, and local experiences that truly bring the island to life. Tourists from all around the world will find his service top-notch. Don’t miss the chance to explore Madeira with Antonio—you won’t regret it!
We had a wonderful Jeep Tour with Antonio, who was a great guide and driver. We enjoyed the beautiful nature and learned a lot about Madeira. The Levada walk was really nice, especially the little Madeira birds at the viewpoint. Also the visit to the rum distillery was quite interesting. All in all, it was a great experience. Muito obrigado!
The guide was very friendly and charismatic. We stopped at various viewpoints and a the off-road part was fun. Great experience, would recommend.
Fab day out. Great tour guide. My 7 year old loved it was really fun to do it in the jeep too especially for the off road bit of the trip
Dear Antonio showed us the east side of the island today. He knew a lot about the special places and we were able to bring our own suggestions. He was also an excellent driver and especially mastered the off-road tracks superbly. We'll be back!
Dino was amazing, entertaining and informative. He took a lot of trouble to show us so many points of interest and plants and fruits typical of the island. The drive was very exciting - not for the faint-hearted, but Dino knows every inch of the route like the back of his hand! We were shrouded in the clouds at the highest peak, but despite this, there were other breathtaking views and the whole day trip was really worth it.
