We booked two full days with Miguel when our ship was docked overnight in Funchal. We had no idea we would love Madeira as much as we did! Miguel is very proud of and knowledgeable about the island he calls home. Over the course of two days, Miguel customized his tours so that we saw practically every inch of the island in his off-road vehicle. We could not have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Miguel!

We hired Miguel for 2 Full Day tours back to back, and can’t say enough good things about him. He was very informative, entertaining and extremely accommodating. We never felt rushed, and felt he went above and beyond on every aspect of the tour. If we wanted to spend extra time at a particular place or do something different, his welcoming response was always, “Yes, yes, of course!” Our days always ran longer, due to our own curiosities, but he always encouraged us enjoy each moment, each amazing view, every off road trail, and a Poncha and a snack at a local shop each day. He took us to a very local typical Portuguese restaurant for grilled meats and it was our favorite meal of the trip. We enjoyed our time with him and his knowledge and hospitality so much that we hired him for an additional half day tour, which was another fantastic afternoon!

Miguel was an excellent guide and was proud to share his beautiful island with us. We had a lovely lunch overlooking the volcanic pools. Miguel took extra time to make sure to pick us up easily accommodate our accessible traveler and back to the boat on time.

Miguel is an outstanding guide. He is very knowledgeable about Madeira. He is quick to design a day which exceeded all our expectations from a beautiful levada walk to exploring towns. He is a pleasure to spend time with. Our highest rating!!
