Welcome to Paradise Island! My name is Ricardo! I'm a Madeira Island born and raised, in heart and blood, father of 2 beautiful kids! Worked in many things differently in my long 40+ years of life, and lived also in other parts of the world, but all that to make sure that this island is were I belong, and showing my place, the job is I love to do! Being in the tourism industry for a very long time, more than 20 years, made me acquire experience, but mostly provided me with the opportunity to know amazing people every day, and make many good friends! If you are looking for a local, to show you Madeira's best sights, the most known ones, or the less known in a relaxed funny and informal way, in my Jeep in which I have been very happy within the last 20 years. That's about the time I do Offroad as one of my favorite hobbies. My goal is to talk with you about my culture and the way I was brought up on this island, the difference between now and then and spend a good day together, eating, drinking and sightseeing (I don't drink alcohol while I work, but it would be available for you). Any of my tours can be customized and altered to your needs, and my car is registered in an official tour company so I can pick up inside the port or any hotel in the island for your commodity. Just contact and let me know your thoughts and I will be very happy to respond to you. Thank you Ricardo Tour guide since 2000 none
