 Verified An unforgettable day exploring Madeira with Marco!
What an unforgettable experience exploring Madeira with Marco! We loved visiting the beautiful Ribeira da Janela and the charming São Vicente, both absolutely breathtaking. Marco was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour fun, relaxed, and memorable. Thank you for showing us the beauty of Madeira — we highly recommend him! 🌿🇵🇹

 Verified Wonderful trips for first timers in Madeira
What a fabulous tour company, we actually did two day trips with them, the West Side of Madeira with Tony, an amazing guide, knowledgeable, funny and a careful driver, the tour itself was excellent, what an experience, standing on the glass walkway looking along the coast was stunning, the ancient forest was magical and today we have been with the wonderful Marco, along the East side of Madeira, to see the highest point, we was so lucky with the clear views, above the clouds, you do need a fleece/jacket it was quite chilly and blowy, Santana and more, Marco is a wonderful, friendly, knowledgeable enthusiastic guide you could come across, I can’t recommend this company enough. Thank you for two wonderful days

 Verified Awesome tour!
We had so much fun with our British friends and our tour guide, Marco. All the little stops he made while sharing precious information about the island helped us enjoy our day even more. He made our day trip incredible. On top of that, he made us feel better about our flight home the next day. (Marco and our British friends were right—everything went smoothly!)

 Verified Full day Madeira tour.
What a day! Our driver/guide Marco was exceptionally knowledgeable and kind. The sights and information were incredible and all the places we stopped were absolutely stunning. It really was an amazing day and fantastic value for money. We shared the vehicle with Max and his wife, a Canadian couple, and they were delightful too. I honestly cannot fault anything and along with the stunning sights Marco was a stunning host. Wonderful.

 Verified Beautiful Madeira!
I recently traveled to the lovely island of Madeira. Our trip included two tours, one of the West side of the island and one of the East side. We were fortunate to have Marco as our tour guide for both excursions. Marco was such a wonderful tour guide. He was knowledgeable, funny and welcoming. You can tell when someone loves what they do and where they are from. That is Marco! One reason for going to Madeira was to see and hike the Stairway to Heaven trail. Although this was not included in our package, Marco made it happen for us. Although there was a slight hiccup on that tour and we unfortunately were not taken to the Stairway to Heaven (no fault of Marco's) he made it right and actually took my friend and I himself! I can't say enough about this man. You made Madeira a memorable experience! Thank you Marco! I highly recommend booking your next tour/excursion with Marco at Spot Madeira Travel!
