Villages, views and an insight into the local tipple are this tour to a tee. You'll venture to the largest vineyard on the island for a tasting session of quality vinos and typical tapas, before sampling the famous sweet Madeira wine at a traditional lodge. Then, it's off to Cabo Girão – one of the highest sea cliffs in the world – where you can cross the glass skywalk high above the valley for a small fee.

The group size created a good atmosphere throughout the day and throughout the guide/ driver was giving us all information in a factual and friendly manner. The stops giving time to take photos and breaks were well spaced and his lunch recommendation was excellent for everyone. The whole wine tasting experience on the two stops was well managed and enjoyable. We preferred the smaller party experience and will certainly book similar excursions in the future due to this particular tour

This tour cost the same as another that included a 3 course lunch, this one had no lunch included. The guide advised we would try 2x 3yr old, 2x 10yr old & 2x 15yr old Madeira wines, which wasn't correct, we tried 2x 3yr & there was a choice of 1 of 2 different 10yr old Madeira wines & no 15yr old. I'm not sure that wine tastings & Madeira wine tastings cost more than the lunch on the other tour, as we also tasted several Madeira wines on that tour. This one was not value for $ in comparison.

The driver was knowledgeable and courteous. The off-road section was fun, views terrific. People delivering the wine sampling were knowledgeable about their subject.

We enjoyed everything from the humour and the knowledge from Rui our driver to the safety and responsibility he portrayed

Fantastic trip , plenty of wine at the tasting sessions , didn’t manage to go open top in the 4x4 due to the rain but still enjoyed the experience

Lovely holiday sadly from our 4th till we left the food was not that good ( we were all inclusive) whether the hotel. Was waiting for supplies but the standard dropped dramatically. Getting out of Madeira was dreadful due to huge queues at the airport and not enough staff on the desks.
