“What a great way to experience the island! I’ve taken this tour twice and each time was unique. Fábio was such a great guide with the best attitude and personality. He had great stories about Madeira and how locals enjoy it. We not only went to spots that were full of mostly locals but we got insight on how “the locals do things”. We had the opportunity to enjoy a few Ponchas and even a few viewpoints before our dinner. Our meal was a variety of espetadas. We had sausage, steak and even chicken wings with great wine and sides. By the end of the night I was so grateful…”
