We asked for a recommendation for a 4x4 touring day at our hotel and the guys at Madeira Mountain Expeditions were wholeheartedly recommended. A quick call and our day to the north of Madeira was booked for later that week, couldn't have been easier.
Pick up was on time and our driver introduced himself, got us settled in the Landrover and we set off to pick up three more people.
Once all parties were onboard our driver 'David' explained the day to us all. We all quickly got to know each other, helped by Davids humour and knowledge.
The day proceeded at a relaxed pace with some spectacular views along the way. Lunch was an additional €11 and optional which we all chose. Soup, fish or steak, fruit salad, coffees, wine and water, great value.
David was very knowledgeable about the plants of Madeira and the areas we visited. The actual off-roading was entertaining if mild by past 4x4 experiences but for the purpose of this trip got us to some amazing viewpoints. The Landrover Defender used was very comfortable given it being a Landrover and once off the main highways the roof was rolled back giving a different element to the trip.
Overall we would thoroughly recommend Madeira Mountain Expeditions.
