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.”

Very informative. excellent driving skills both on and off road (an experience all on its own). Would highly recommend this tour unless you have back problems”

“The guide was great, but the wine tasting was not what we expected. The first winery was a table wine producer, not a Madeira wine producer. This was not explained in the tour description. The second stop at the Henriques and Henriques Madeira winery was a waste of time. The sample pours were so small that you could barely taste them.”
Taste Madeira wines, share a generous local lunch, and cross the island with a small group on this scenic full-day tour from Funchal.
“Leisurely day of wine tasting and seeing the island, with a great guide. We learned the difference between Madeira Wine and Madeiran Wine, and walked along stunning vineyards and saw beautiful views of the island. Lunch was delicious, and the opportunity to try Madeira Wines made by two different methods was really interesting. One of the highlights of our holiday. Being in a small group was really great, we had plenty of opportunities for questions and we didn’t feel rushed at any point during the day.”

“We had the most amazing and informative day with Roberto as our guide. Scenery was fantastic and the different selections of wines to taste at each vineyard was fantastic. Lunch was enjoyed by us all with a full glass of our favourite wine from the 6 we had just tasted. Good conversation and company followed with a glass of Madeira with our dessert . Well worth the trip - we would highly recommend and repeat the experience . Good communication from Patricia prior to the trip with all the arrangement . Thank you”

“Wonderful experience as the guide did not cancel even though I was the lone registrant. It ended up being even better as we had some flexibility and the guide/driver ventured off the usual path so that I could experience more.”
