“Es war ein schöner Ausflug an die Südküste von Madeira. Unser Fahrer Luciano hat uns pünktlich abgeholt und diverse Orte gezeigt. Dabei erzählte er viel über Land und Leute. Im Auto waren Gäste aus Großbritannien, Frankreich, Italien und Deutschland. Luciano erklärte alles in englisch und französisch, was aber für alle kein Problem war. Es gab genügend Pausen und es kam keine Hektik auf. Wir können den Ausflug auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.”

Lunch was not included in the pricing but an option was provided which all guests accepted (Taskinha Da Calheta Prazeres ) and it was by far the best touring meal we have had. The jeep massages on the back roads were great and we were well entertained by Lino’s wealth of information, humor and great attitude.”
