Did you ever imagine to pay a visit to Heaven? Yes, Madeira is more than Heaven, it's real!!! Madeira is a World's Leading Island Destination since 2015 and I can show you why! Embark on this unique 3 days exploring the best that Madeira has to offer. Is not only because its a land of Ethernal Spring with flowers all year around or has 7 micro-climates all spread in its beautiful lanscapes forced by Hephaestus but was design by Demeter, polish by Poseidon and blessed by Dionysus & Aphrodite. And, like a cherry on top of a cake, if you are a lucky person as I am then for sure Iris will welcome you with Her gift. Your life will not be the same and you are going to run to Citizen Office to get the residence card. Madeira has more than you can suck in :D
Carlos is your guide in Madeira! After the first day, when we met and got to know each other, he had made slight changes in the agenda, so as to suit our likes, desires and capabilities (mostly mine!). He had dedicated each day to a different part of the island, so that at the end we had covered it all. He is full of knowledge and knows the island like the back of his hand. I highly recommend touring with Carlos, you will not regret it!
Excellent knowledge of Madeira and allowed me to custom an active 48 hours so I could see almost anything in those two days. Highly recommend Carlos for hikes or any outdoor exploration. He is very punctual and kind
Carlos is the most amazing guide and one of the kindest people that I know! We had fabulous 3 days which we will remember for very long time. The places he tooks us to visit were superb, our itinerary included not only top popular spots on the island but Carlos also showed us few hidden gems. With his help we could really avoid the crowds during the day and I must say we really had a quality time which we truly enjoyed! We can't thank you enough Carlos :)
We just finished an incredible 3-day tour of Madeira, and it was fantastic! Our guide, Carlos, was funny, nice, and great with our 14-year-old girls. He was always on time and made everything easy for us. The hike to Pico Ruivo was the highlight—absolutely breathtaking views! 🌄 We also loved exploring the Fanal Forest, which felt like stepping into a fairy tale. Seixal Beach was stunning, perfect for catching wave! Plus, visiting the local wineries was a delightful experience! 🍷 Overall, this tour was an amazing way to experience Madeira, and we highly recommend it! 🏖️
It was an excellent experience and Carlos was great.
We had a fantastic three days with Carlos. We so appreciated his knowledge of the entire island of Madeira. We were three generations, with a six and eight year-old, and he knew just the right things to do to create a magical experience and give us a great view of what Madeira has to offer. I would highly recommend Carlos!

In the Private Tour we are going to use a gray Citroen C4, with 5 seats or Toyota Avensis Verso with 7 seats or Volkswagen Transporter with 9 seats. You can request any of them, if available. All are very comfortable. If you want a better car, I'm able to get a larger passenger van for groups above five people. Just contact me for details and a quote.
