The best way hands down to learn about this amazing island is to book the full day tour with Antonio. He is so knowledgeable and professional. It only took until lunch time, to realize that we wanted to extend our time with him, so we scheduled 2 more days of tours that he customized listening to our interests. Bonuses: photography tips that he shares along the way, his fantastic stories, the company van is comfortable and luxurious, lunch at local places, many recommendations. We feel like we made a true friend on the island. I highly recommend any tour with Antonio.

We booked two island tours with Diogo, one on the East side and one on the West side of the island. Diogo is a very easy going and relaxed person, who is never in a hurry and makes you feel there is all the time in the world to enjoy the fantastic scenery of Madeira. He takes you to places which are off the beaten track and knows some fantastic restaurants to have lunch. He is very knowledgeable and always in a good mood!

This tour is a must for any visitors to the Lisbon area. Our guide, Tania, was amazing. She was so welcoming and knowledgeable and made sure we had the best day possible. Due to Covid-19 restrictions there were only 4 of us on the tour - myself and my sister and another couple (who were also absolutely lovely and we became friends). Sintra and Cascais are so beautiful and the tour allowed us ample time to explore both areas. Tania gave us great tips on the best photo opportunity spots and also on the best places to eat. The area was very quiet compared to pre-Covid times, but it was really nice to see Sintra, the palace and surrounding area without hordes of tourists - no queues. We wore our masks at all times so everyone felt safe from a Covid point of view. I cannot fault the service and the tour. Great value and amazing to see these places with so few tourists about. One of the most beautiful areas I have ever seen. It is quite hilly so be prepared for some walking - but you can always get a lift up to the palace grounds if you have limited mobility, so don't let that put you off.

I did find the service comfortable and it seems to go "everywhere" in Ponta Delgada... But despite the advert they do have only one trip per hour... but it is plenty as both ways I was alone in the bus...

If you looking for a professional service to drive and guide you through this beautiful country, the owner of Windland Tours, Goncalo Oliveira, is your man! We hired Goncalo for four days to drive us from western Spain to Porto, Fatima, Coimba and Lisbon. Goncalo is the consummate professional (punctual, courteous,) an excellent driver, nearly fluent English and has a deep knowledge of the history and culture of the Portuguese people which he shared with us on our daily walking tours of each city. He also knows the best restaurants and interesting neighborhoods not always on the typical tourist itinerary. We can't thank Goncalo enough for making this trip one of the best vacations we have had. We hope to return in the future, and our first call will be to Goncalo to arrange the next trip!

These guys seriously know what they are doing so rest assured that you will feel like family by the end of the day. We had NUNO as our driver for the first tour booked to see the northwest of the island. A group of digital nomads and myself (a teacher) met for the first time and decided to book a second tour a few days later to visit the east (Madeira peaks). The 4•4 vehicles allow you to take the old Madeiran roads (old kings roads) that you otherwise could not access, therefore allowing you to see unique vegetation, history and also experience off the beaten path (literally) waterfalls, levadas, and gorgeous scenery. Every tour is unique with many opportunities to stop to take photos, visit local restaurants/cafes and rum factories, poncha bars. These guys bring their passion of their island to life and give you a very personal account of this unique island. I also appreciated that they kept us away from big touristic restaurants and shops. They support the locals and that is obvious by the markets we stopped at and little taverns we ate at. I appreciated that they picked me up on the other side of the island so I wouldn’t miss the adventure. A big thank you to Fernando, the owner who was very quick to contact us via WhatsApp to confirm everything. I am grateful to have met Nuno and want to thank him for giving me the most memorable days of the trip! Miss it already!
