What a gorgeous island! I had a private tour with Manuel, who was polite, professional, and kind. There were opportunities to walk alone time to admire and photograph the views a nice lunch not included, and a truly full-day immersion into Madeira. This tour is for nature lovers who wish to spend a comfortable day exploring Madeira by minivan with a knowledgable guide.
