Excellent experience

Pedro was an excellent guide and made the day trip very memorable. We took our 3 year old and the company fitted the 4x4 with a child seat which was a nice touch.

Amazing experience, incredible views!

Absolutely amazing day yesterday, our guide Nelio was brilliant. The views were incredible, and the off-road section was great fun. Would highly recommend this experience, well worth the extra money vs a larger tour in my opinion. A great way to see the island.

Excellent day out exploring the island!

We had a lot of fun on this tour! Every stop had something special and unique about it and the in-between driving (e.g. off-road) kept everyone well entertained! Very kind and enthusiastic driver, spoke excellent in English and French. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested to explore outside of Funchal, as the island is so beautiful.

Off road madness!!

We had a wonderful time! I screamed a lot 😆😆😆 Nico was a fabulous guide, so helpful. It will be chilly in the morning, 100% take a jumper and a light jacket but you can leave on Jeep when it warms up later in day. ESSENTIAL - book the laverda walk as soon as you make the Jeep safari booking pr11, for about 11:00, 11:30 am
