A fantastic trip with a varied itinerary seeing highlights across the island.

I Loved the addition o tea at the world-famous Reid's Hotel making this trip just a bit more special than it's competitors. This is a wonderful trip led by an outstanding guide in Benny. Highly recommend this trip to anyone.
We loved Joao! He made the trip **
Great adventure and itineracy. Joao was an amazingly knowledgeable and fun guide. Nice sized group, worked really well. Maderia is a beautiful island.
The entire trip was wonderful and well planned out . The hotel was bad as it was being renovated so no hot water for showers and banging all day
An excellent holiday, very enjoyable. The tour leader and programme were both very good. The trip provided an excellent introduction to Madeira.
