Review of Madeira’s private west-side tour, with Cabo Girao, Porto Moniz pools, local villages, Funchal pickup, costs, and practical tips.

“Madeira was absolutely beautiful, beyond our expectations. We saw coastline, beaches with teal water, and also foggy mountain towns, and waterfalls - truly an incredible place. Diogo was fantastic! Our cruise ship stopped in Madeira for only 7-8 hours, and we were with Diogo for 6 of those hours - he really helped us maximize our time and had us back to our ship with time to spare! Excellent combination of driving and learning about the island from Diogo, and then stopping to walk around scenic towns and villages. And swimming in the natural pools at Porto Moniz was a once in a lifetime experience! Highly recommend!”

“Spencer was spectacular! He showed up on time and was very friendly and knowledgeable! He showed us all the things that we didn’t know we needed to see. We saw everything from the fisherman’s village to his favorite spot up in the clouds, put our toes in the water at the black sand beach and took a dip in the lava pools after a delicious lunch with poncha. We got to see so much more than we thought was possible in one day thanks to this great tour. He even safely maneuvered around these crazy winding streets and we felt very safe. He pointed out all of the fruit bearing…”

Thank you again Nuno Tony & Liz”
