We had the best time with Diego K. He navigated the steep windy roads with ease and we felt 100% safe even on the narrowest paths! We also did the West of the island tour with him earlier in the week which was amazing. This East of the island tour is so underrated - the pictures do not do it justice. Better view points and less busy than the West tour. The forrests for the off roading sections were thrilling and smelled so fresh. Hanging out the roof of the 4x4, you feel so free. Lunch in Santana was delicious, we ate at Cantino de Serra (absolute bargain - 20 euro for a 3 course meal with drinks and massive portions!). Definitely recommend the pork main course (the octopus is also nice but the pork is better). Also the passionfruit dessert is not to be missed. There was a vegetarian in our group who said the pasta was really good too.
This was the best tour of our Madeiran adventure. It should definitely be on your itinerary
