Hello, and welcome to Madeira! The Paradise Island, that I am lucky to call home. My name is Vitor, born and raised in Madeira. I lived most of my life in the island, and also spent a few years in the UK. I love travelling and discover new places, but the love for my home land has always pulled me back here, where I feel I truly belong! I am a husband of an amazing woman and father of three gorgeous kids! I love spending my time outdoors and I have a passion for vintage cars and classic jeeps. I have discovered Madeira's hidden gems, as well as it's commonly visited places. Driving my classic jeeps I am confident using quiet and narrow off roads, and introduce you to the history and flora of the island as well as the agriculture and local way of living. And last but not least, I know just where they make the best traditional Poncha in the Island! I have nearly 15 years of experience as a jeep tour guide, but I like to make every day count! I am responsible and flexible at the same time, and I will always do my best for you to have an experience that you will cherish! I am offering full day jeep tours to both side of the island as well as half day introduction of different areas of Madeira. I am happy to alter my routes to your needs and interests and answer all your questions! So if you are looking for a friendly and knowledgeable local guide, I am definitely the man! Thank you for your time and interest, Vitor 15 years of experience none

My wife and I had a wonderful 6-hour tour with Vitor in Madeira. We booked the half day tour and were picked up in Funchal in the open top jeep. Vitor as a Madeira native has a lot of stories and knowledge about the island and we enjoyed getting to know him. We learned about a lot of native plants fruit trees, grape vines and herbs and there uses while off roading. We stopped at many stunning view points around the island including Valley of the Nuns, which has a lot of cool history. We had a lovely lunch stop with one of the best sandwiches we had all vacation. After a stop at the Câmara de Lobos fishing village we visited a Madeira wine tasting room. Lastly, at our request, Vitor was kind enough to drop us off at the end of the tour in Monte at the so we could try out the infamous toboggan sleds. Overall we had a 5-Star day and would definitely recommend Vitor.

We had a great day with Vitor! He met us at the ship, took us all over the island, and showed us all the sites! Vitor was timely, friendly, conscientious, and made sure we all really had fun. Since we were all a bit older he took the bumpy roads slowly but was still able to give us the feeling of adventure! We got to have a delicious lunch at an authentic restaurant, sample the local beverages and get a glimpse of his beautiful country. We highly recommend Vitor for a fun day in Portugal!

We had an awesome tour with Vitor. He is a great driver and was very informative. We really got a taste of the local sites and food as he took us to interesting places for food and drink. Both delicious.

Fantastic trip. Vitor communicated with us precisely concerning pick up instructions and on time. The trip was exciting, well timed and included a variety of stops. Vitor is an excellent guide. His knowledge of the island: its history, special locations and interesting facts was top notch. We saw locations we never knew existed thanx to his expertise. The off roading was thrilling and Vitor made the whole day special. He is very personable and we loved our day with him. 10/5 stars ��

Vitor is an amazing tour guide. His knowledge of Madeira's history, flora and fauna is exceptional, and his English is excellent. He's also a very good driver and photographer! He customized a tour of Madeira for us that maximized the beauty of the island and the incredible vistas overlooking the island. We enjoyed four-wheeling in his jeep, along with a Madeira wine tasting and Poncha tasting. Our photos were breath-taking. We look forward to returning to Madiera and taking another tour with Vitor!
