As it says on the tin. A very enjoyable Off Road experience culminating in a visit to a typical village bar for refreshments and a snack.

Our guide Abrao was excellent and we had a great time in a 4x4 exploring right up into the clouds. The hillsides are lined with glorious agapanthus, Pride of Madeira purple spurs, tumbling nasturtiums and elegant arum lilies. Madeira is an amazing island.
We booked a full day tour and it was great. A well organised excursion to the north of the island and then some off roading which was great fun. Ricardo, our tour guide was knowledgeable and funny and did whatever he could to make sure everyone enjoyed the trip. We visited the A framed houses with lunch served (wine included) at a little restaurant there. This would have been better if it had been a snack or a lighter lunch. The food was great but there were 14 of us in our party and no-one wanted a full 3 course lunch with large servings. It was such a shame to see so much wasted and not because of the quality. We headed back to Funchal through the fog and mist but with a brief Poncha stop. Overall a great day out and would have scored higher if the meal provided had been a little more "lunch like" and a little less "3 course dinner".
A full day of fantastic views and a bit of adventure with the off-road parts. We had a great driver and guide Vitor, who took us to places we would never have found ourselfs. Apart from his knowledge of Madeira he was also very funny!
Our family of 5 traveled to the beautiful island of Madeira in March. We had a great week in part thanks to two full days with Angelo who showed us as much of the island as he could in our time there. One day we toured the east and the other the west. He knows the island so well and was able to customize the tour for us. It included a mix of levada hikes, wonderful lunches and stops for coffee. He also suggested his favourite spots for dinner and these meals were great! He kept us thoroughly entertained as well as he is very funny. If we are ever lucky enough to return to Madeira we would book more tours with Angelo in a heartbeat.
Yesterday my wife and I went to a Jeep tour with Mountain Expedition. We really wanted to see Porto Muniz pools but to profit from the entire day! Leonardo was our driver and our guide and he was great. He knew a lot about the Island history and culture. He was also very funny and kind to us. The 11€ for the meal was a very reasonable price as well. It was a shame the weather in the north part of the island was not the best on the day of the trip, so we could not swim in the pools, but other than that, the trip was great and i recommend their jeep tour
