We decided to do this because many other trips were fully booked. We did book through our hotel, the Cliff Bay and I have to say. My wife and I really enjoyed the full day trip, we both totally agree this would not have been the case if we didn’t have a lovely young guy called Wilson as our guide. He was so courteous, professional and very informative. He simply made the day that much better with his fantastic customer skills. If you ever do this trip, I would highly recommend Wilson as your guide. Thank you Adventureland Madeira but a bigger thank you to Wilson! Brilliant experience *****

We had booked this tour after participating in another tour on Monday to the east, this was very nice despite the extremely bad weather thanks to the driver named Hugo. Hugo pointed out to us that we should explicitly ask for him as a driver when booking, which we did. The trouble started with the pick-up at the hotel in the morning. It was not Hugo who came, but another rider who took part in the Eastern Tour on Monday as a trainee - very young and with far less experience than Hugo. He was 10 minutes late and there were already 2 guests in the back seat. We were told to get in the back and sit in the "emergency seats." These are transverse to the direction of travel. When I said I couldn't drive like this because I was getting sick, the other two guests were moved to the back seats. Afterwards we learned that 2 more guests will be picked up and so we would "experience" a full-day tour of six plus driver in this old LandRover. We then told the driver to turn around and take us back to the hotel.
The hotel called the agency - result was: we booked and can either ride or the money is gone! in the end they offered another voucher - knowing that we will never and can never redeem it. The whole thing is only designed to maximise profits and we cannot recommend this agency. In addition to cashing in, a full-day tour with 7 people in such an old vehicle (and on off-road routes) and an inexperienced driver is a high safety risk - unacceptable and irresponsible.
