Hit the Road Tours provided an unforgettable experience on our full day tour of the west side of Madeira. Our guide Hugo put together a great itinerary and took us on some roads that provided an exhilarating ride. The amazing sights, fun hikes along the levadas and through the banana plantations, and an incredible lunch with a beautiful view of the natural swimming holes along the Atlantic Ocean were all part of an unforgettable day. I highly recommend Hit the Road Madeira to anyone who is looking for an exhilarating day of sight seeing and exploring in Madeira.
