    Gids/reisleider/chauffeur was top. Wist veel te vertellen en bracht ons naar plekken waar je met de bus niet komt. Goed overleg. Ross was top.

    Ross is the perfect tourgide to show you around the island. He knows the best places and avoids all the busy locations or goes there during the calm moments of the day. So you have a perfect Madeira experience. He is a very friendly young man, knows a lot about the island and the vegetation, drives safely and provides a perfect service. I really recommend to take one of more tours with him to really get to know the island and it's hidden gems.

    Absolut empfehlenswert! Wer es individuell mag, statt in einer Gruppe zu Reisen, wird absolut hier richtig sein. Nicht abschrecken lassen davon, dass die Tour nur auf Englisch statt in Deutsch angeboten wird. Ross ist einfach nur freundlich und fachkundig. Wir werden wieder bei Ross buchen, dann eine andere Tour. Vielen Dank nochmals!!

    Incredible experience! We chose a private tour as it better suited my autistic daughter and we saw so much more than being on a coach tour. Ross was so accommodating and engaging - and aside from learning all about the landscape and flora, he taught us hilarious Portuguese tongue twisters! The highlight was swimming in the incredible lava rock pools at Porto Moniz while the sea raged around us - epic! Ross - you gave us a five star experience and helped to fall in love with Madeira! Fabulous!

    Super gids, Ross genaamd. Heeft ons op deze trip begeleid. De allerbeste om op verkenning te gaan. Ideaal voor twee maximaal drie personen. Persoonlijke begeleiding je trekt rond op eigen tempo.Veel beter dan de jeepsafari.
