We were on our first visit to Madeira and found ‘Take the High Road Madeira’ on YouTube and liked their videos and recommendations. We booked a private trip and it was exactly as we wanted. Hugo ensured we saw the most important views and scenery and we certainly ate the finest lunch (Michelin quality) without the fussiness and drank amazing ponchos. The day was fun and thoroughly recommended as a way to learn what this wonderful island has to offer!

What an incredible experience with the amazingly talented Hugo with Hit The Road Tours. We began early with a coffee and finished late in the day with a Poncha! The sights and sounds of the day included a depth of cultural immersion I did not expect to find within a tour company. I'm so grateful for the hours spent exploring the backroads and communities found off the beaten path. At times, I felt as if we were the only ones on the island! We were welcomed with open arms everywhere we went. I tasted rum made from sugar cane (do you sense a theme here? Not that I drink!), crushed eucalyptus leaves in my hands for the healing aromas, walked along cliff edges and ocean byways, talked with local folks who shared history and customs, enjoyed a fabulous lunch in a choice surfing spot, travelled from sea level to mountain top, and had the time of my life!! I can hardly wait to return and continue my adventures with Hit the Road Tours!!! Thanks to you Hugo and your trusty "Beast" for the adventure of a lifetime. ~Laura
