“We had such a good time with David. He was so much fun. This tour of Madeira was impressive we got a great comprehensive tour of the island stopping at all the historic spots and some with less tourists. We had lots of time to shop for souvenirs. David made great suggestions for souvenirs to remind us of our time on the island. I would book this tour again. Loved it and will be talking about our time with David for a long time. He is a great ambassador for the island. Thanks again.”

“The 2nd. wonderful tour with this company. This time the guides were Duarte and Francisco, Duarte speaks not much English so Francisco is translating. Duarte is a fountain of knowledge for Madeira. Again wonderful views, and a stop for a Nikita (Drink) in the mountain. Again a private tour is our choice and in our experience so much better.”
