  • “Andre was the perfect guide! He was flexible to meet our requests. He was friendly and knowledgeable. We stopped for lunch at a nice restaurant and he gave us ample time to explore the village. It was a perfect day! We felt that we got to see so much of Madeira.”

  • “Andre's tour was both insightful and charming... or maybe that's all the poncha talking? Haha. For me, the highlight was the local bar he took us to: completely off the tourist path, filled with friendly regulars, his recipe for delicious poncha and tasty little side dishes. While the storm stopped us from fully enjoying the miradouro views, we were blessed with an incredibly rare snowfall at the peak! Who coulda imagined that?? Andre was honest and responsive throughout the drive, answering all our questions openly... while carefully maneuvering across tiny roads and dodging traffic. AND still attentive enough to spot his uncle, father and other family members dotted around the island along the way! He's a true son of the island, and what a welcome to the island! Thank you again Andre! See you next time :)”
