★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 443 reviews · 4 hours · from $57Our pick

Review of Madeira’s half-day jeep tour to Boca dos Namorados, Cabo Girão, local bars and free Madeira wine tasting.

“It was such a fun experience! Our guide, Gil Sousa went out of his way to make it worthwhile. Told us so much information and fun facts about the island. Drove around beautiful spots and to get there it was quite an adventurous drive, but we felt very safe with Gil Sousa as our driver ;). Stopped in the middle of the tour to let us smell the Eucalyptus trees when we went through the forest, picked some fresh parsley growing casually besides the road, had one of the best Poncha's that were made right in front of us. Overall, great tour and definitely recommend.”

The guide at Quinto do Barbusano showed us around the vineyard and explained the different types of grapes, the wines they produced and how the wines were made. We then tasted about 6 wines after the guide had talked about each of them.Read more”
