“it's our second tour with Rubi. She is great! We’ve done about 7 or 8 tours in Madeira, and almost all of them felt a bit rushed — not enough time to truly enjoy the scenery, take photos, or just pause and soak it all in. This tour was completely different. Everything was well-paced and comfortable, with enough time for breaks, taking in the views, and resting — especially important in the heat. We’re very grateful to our guide, Rubi, for that! Also, a tip: bring your swimsuits — you might need them!”

“Unfortunately, I fell sick at the last noment and coudl not do this hike, however, i had the best experience with the tour group. They are very kind and professional. Given we were too late in our communication, we could not cancel the booking. Later, we were offered to join another group on another sunrise hike in the island without any extra charge. It was also very very cool and Nico n David took xare of organising the tour timely so we didn't miss our flight. I highly recommend this tour company their tours for exploring the island.”
