The perfect sample of Madeira in a 7-hour tour
This was the highlight of our trip to Madeira! Madeira Surreal seems like a great tour company and Romero is an incredible tour guide. We've done many tours (often Viator) and he ranks as one of the best tour guides we've had.
This specific tour (Surreal West Waterfalls, Pools, and Forest) was the perfect 1-day sample of what Madeira has to offer. You get Cabo Girao (sea cliff sky bridge), mountains, the ancient forest, rocky coastline (and possibly a little time to swim if you want), and gorgeous waterfalls. The tour was paced out very well. We had just a little time at each spot--enough to see everything, but not enough to get tired or bored. Every place was scenic and had wonderful photo ops. I think we took more pictures on this tour than the rest of our trip combined. Romero was personable and communicative, really bringing each stop to life with lots of additional information and context. Our tour was in English, but he speaks about 6 languages.
I liked that our tour group was small (8 people plus our guide) so we were able to make lots of stops without taking forever to load and unload. Take the early tour if possible because you can beat some of the crowds at the most popular spots.
I enthusiastically recommend this company and would definitely try to take a tour from this tour company, Madeira Surreal, if I visit again.

Great day out in Madeira
We just spent the day with an awesome chap called Marco who took us around Madeira in his yellow mini bus. He was so full of information about everything Madeira and was very entertaining too. The trip was really great and worth every penny. A truly wonderful way to see the island and very highly recommended

Well with the adventure!
Our tour guide was excellent, provided useful commentary and background without overwhelming us. The tour size was just right and a minivan is preferable to the jostling a 4x4 that other tours offer. checking on client satisfaction throughout the trip, Excellent way to see the highlights of the West of the island, without the stress of driving! Great value for money.

West Tour
I took the West Madeira tour with Romero, and I was very impressed with the experience. Romero speaks excellent English and provided us with a wealth of interesting and detailed information about Madeira, as well as about every place we visited.
Everything was very well organized and punctual, and the tour was thoughtfully planned to ensure that everyone had a pleasant and enjoyable experience.
I highly recommend Romero for anyone looking for a professional, informative, and well-organized tour of Madeira.

Great day with Romero
We had a great day exploring the west coast and Fanal Forest with our guide Romero. He did a great job filling us in on local information as we drove along taking in spectacular views. He shared lots of helpful tips and insights that helped us get to know the island. We spent just enough time at each stop, although we could have used more time at the pools. We thought this trip was well worth the price and saved us navigating some very challenging roads on our own!
