However not to worry, the protective gear provided does its job. I highly recommend buying the scarf at €5 from their garage, to protect your nasal and mouth airway. It is an activity that I highly recommend to those seeking to experience something different in Madeira.”

Our pick up was by the owner Tiago who shared the love of his country and the business he runs (which he is also a professional in!). The tour did multiple stops for rests and pictures. I will not share what they are as they are unreal and will wreck your experience! They were more than we could have imagined!

He helped take photos, and also made us feel so safe and welcome! As two women traveling alone, I was a little nervous to book a private tour but Johnny was the perfect guide.

Really a bit of everything. Paulo started off with a very clear health & safety, and run through of the does & don’ts. Edwardo the tour guide certainly knew the bests places to go. Without doubt the hi light of our short trip away. Well worth taking the time out of a holiday, for an experience you won’t regret.”
