We took the West 4x4 Tour & East 4x4 Tour on back-to-back days at the beginning of our holiday to get a feel for the island. We weren't disappointed, Madeira is a beautiful island and these tours showcased the highlights prefectly. Each trip was in a six passenger 4x4 so we got to meet some other interesting travellers. The tours aimed to avoid the crowds with a flexible timetable and the use of island webcams to see if the peaks were covered in fog (they were on the second trip). Both Vitor and Fabio, our guides on each day were local and had great knowledge of the history, people and flora we saw along the way. The booking and pickup arrangements were handled perfectly by Elisa and Jeff via email and WhatsApp so we knew were to be and what kit was required. Specifically for the West Tour - beating the crowds at the Cabo Girao viewpoint. The weather was very windy so we saw some great high seas breaking over the rock pools. Our guide knew some great offroad tracks to keep us away from the traffic and thrilled by the ride!

I felt like I was on a Rick Steves tour with a local. Fabio shared all local history and hidden gems of the Island. Excellent

If you want a stress-free experience exploring Madeira, this is the company to go with. We were lucky enough to have Fabio as our guide and driver for both the East and the West day tours! Fabio took us on “reverse” itinerary tours, avoiding queues and crowds at the popular stops, and taking us to his favourite local spots. It felt like having a friend show us around his beloved island, which is the company’s way of doing business. Driving here is not for the faint of heart but we felt safe in Fabio’s capable and experienced hands. We enthusiastically recommend both the East and West tours with Hit the Road Madeira!
