Hello, welcome to the Island of madeira. A little Paradise in the middle of the Atlantic that I luckily call home, that is also rich in costumes, tradition and heritage. My name is Antonio, I was born and raised in Madeira Island. I live a city life, but have connections with the island's rural life, where my free time was spent listening to stories from older people and what it was like in their time, having the perspective of how their lives were. I was abroad for a few years in Venezuela, The UK and lastly Italy. But I always returned to the island. Last time that I returned, I needed to reinvent myself to escape from my normal life. It all began gathering friends and going on adventures in a little 4x4, discovering the island truly from a different perspective. From then on, it was the beginning of my dream job. My Land Rover Discovery is my office. Using this car we can reach narrow roads and off-road tracks to find hidden places and fauna. Let me take you with me and share the best of our island. My 4x4 tours are designed for people who really want to explore the island in a relaxed, calm way trying to escape from crudeness, learn about our culture and history. Your time is my commitment.

Overview of your Funchal tour
Did you know that this tour was born out of the need to escape from the city? Let's Enter the island through narrow, sloping streets between enchanted terraces to rediscover valleys and breathtaking landscapes, using old roads on our island to meet with the island again, as a local and to see places where even some locals have never been. I will show you how difficult is the agriculture and unimaginable way to reach the terraces to farm, we will discovery some wonderful waterfall that are hidden in plain sight. We will experience how difficult was to commute on the island before all the development on the island took place. But I don't want to spoil the day too much because this tour takes me back to when I was a little boy visiting my relatives. I certainly hope you will enjoy it as much as I did when a child.
