We booked this tour as we had not been round east Madeira before ,we had a really great day with our driver /guide Leno ,he was really informative and took us to places we.would not have visited on a shore excursion from our cruise ship these included view points etc where coaches could not reach , he took us off roading which was very scary at times , we stopped in Santana for approx 1hr to get some lunch . Leno then took us to the only traditional Santana house which is still occupied by the decendants of its original owners . As most of them have been turned into shops etc . We then visited a rum factory where we tasted some of Madeira’s finest tipples before returning back to the cruise port . We through this tour was excellent value as we were picked up at 8.30am and did not return to our ship until 5pm . Leno was an excellent driver & guide and we would definitely recommend this tour .

Description
This is a shore excursion with pick up / drop off at the cruise terminal, and lunch included. Discover the Northeast as a Madeiran, meet the local villages, some of them where they "stopped in time" with their own tiny shops / coffee's, water mill, traditional houses with thatched roof, rum factory, and off road experience taking you to amazing viewpoints. This tour taked nearly 8-hours, having a great time with our multilanguage guide, learning about the locations that you will pass, fauna, flora, history, culture, gastronomy, etc. This experience / tour will be in a open top 4x4 vehicle, taking you thru the native forest, passing at the old roads, farmers & off road tracks. Great landscapes, sea cliffs, valleys of incredibly beauty that are supported by old terraces hand built centuries ago, built on the foundation of love, sweat and tears. A great memory, a great experience with a lot of history will make this a unique experience in Madeira.
