Well done Fernando - an excellent guide - West of Madeira Tour (07.09.26)
My wife and I have just returned to our hotel following our ‘West of Madeira’ Tour.
An excellent tour…why?
Our guide, Fernando (pretty sure I’ve got that right) was highly informative, engaging and generally a good guy to have around. He couldn’t have made our day out more enjoyable!

An enjoyable and Informative Tour.
Our guide Eduardo collected us from our hotel at the prearranged time
He then made two further pick ups (A French couple and another English couple)
His commentary was entertaining, enlightening and informative.
Even more impressively , in fluent English AND French.
I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anybody , as you will be entertained and more importantly, you will be educated about the lovely island of Madeira.

The tour guide made alot...
The tour guide made alot of sexual comments in the tour. As a woman we felt a bit taken back by 4 different comments that all pertained to be sexual. This should not be allowed as he was a good driver and made good suggestions. He must tone down the sexual comments. Nobody was laughing either. :(
Operator response
Hello,
We appreciate your feedback and we are verry sorry that the tour was not so great as you could imagine.
We will contact the guide and also the owner of the company to speak directly to him.
All the feedbacks are welcome because with that, we can always improve our service as much as possible.
Thank you.

Great tour of the north and west of Madeira
Excellent communication from our tour provider beforehand and Paolo was waiting for us at our agreed pick up point.
We had several stops across Funchal as others joined our trip but we were soon on our way to see the sights of Madeira. There were 10 of us in total, English and French speakers and Paolo drove well, providing excellent commentary as required during our trip.
Definitely recommend this trip and Paolo was a great guide!

We really enjoyed the tour. Driver / Guide paid attention to detail and delivered both humour and quality information as we passed over the island to the west coast. Plenty of comfort breaks and time for lunch

Best way to see the west - even on a stormy day!
Our guide Bruno was a superb driver on the very steep roads always carefully taking the many turns and parking in safe and convenient spots. The 30 min stops are sometimes a bit of a rush depending on how busy a spot is e.g. Cabo Girão had a queue to purchase the ticket (better to buy it in advance online) and was busy on the platform too. If you need a toilet stop (bring 0,50cents) as well it can be tight.
Bruno had a lot of interesting information which he explained to us during the drive between stops. He is a fun and humorous guy who shows care when things need attention. We had to take a little detour towards the end because someone slipped and needed medical care. Bruno handled the situation in a calm and organised manner. We had a great tour and I would recommend it highly.

West is Best Madeira style
The information provided in the itinerary sums up this interesting day tour. The tour is well paced with more than enough time at each stop on the route. Our guide Paulo was informative and would answer any additional questions which I posed. He was a friendly and humorous character, who I noticed was very attentive to his more mature guests. As an overview and introduction of the west and north of Madeira I would recommend this tour.
