I like to go on walking excursions when in Madeira. Over the years I have found that Madiera Happy Tours is the best place to go to arrange these. Marco, the manager, is extremely friendly and helpful and always ready with good suggestions. As well as walking tours he provides an excellent service if you wish to go on a... More

Having failed to research tour operators before going to Funchal I'd been given tour brochures by the firm that picked me up at the airport and by our hotel reception. It was only by chance that we came upon the Madeira Happy Tours shop in Monumental Lido and were immediately struck by their prices that were significantly cheaper than those... More

Wednesday the 24th of April2013, we went on the tour to the Nuns Valley our driver who i think was called Etoni (apologies for wrong spelling) he gave a very informative commentary on route, & the views from the 3 stops we had were amazing.The tour takes about 3hours & it was very good value & one i would recommend...

After researching Madeira's tour operators on Trip Advisor, Happy Tours came out way on top for value for money. Marco responded within hours to my enquiry and further e mails and couldn't have been more helpful or professional. It was when I had to cancel our tour after my father and I were sadly media-vacced off our cruise ship on... More

We were picked up at our hotel by Sergio who was to give us an excellent commentary throughout our trip.Lunchtime was fantastic value for money,€12 each, with wine,soup, meat/fish, sweet and coffee. The only disappointment was with it... More

Went on 2 of the island tours at 20 euros each. The minibus picks & drops you off at your hotel for the tours. The tours take you through the designated part of the island with stops at 6-7 attractions/villages en-route. It is certainly a good way to see the island with its varied & amazing landscapes in relaxed comfort.... More

booked by e-mail requesting low prices mentioned by previous tripadvisor comments. Informed would be collected 08.45 hrs. and for all 3 trips mini bus turned up "on the dot". Great value for money. Took up one lunch "offer" - enjoyable but big group dining room, 12 Euros 3 courses incl. wine/coffee - no complaints.

We come back to Happy Tours each year we arrive on Madeira (8 visits so far). The Levada Walks they arrange are always good with excellent guides. However, the main reason you will go back to Happy Tours again and again is the way the owner (Marco) carries out business -- informative, trustworthy, pleasant and personable etc., etc. I will...

The first rule for those who wish to travel around Madeira is: avoid the siren call of British travel company couriers who charge the earth, then waste half your day force-feeding you an expensive lunch you don't want. We came across Madeira Happy Tours by chance in the shopping centre opposite the Lido, and were so impressed by the first... More
