We took an 8 hour private van tour for 3. The guide (Renaldo) picked us up at the ship and our first stop was Camera de Lobos, a picturesque fishing village with an beautiful chapel to the fisherman. Next we stopped at Cape Girão to the west of Funchal, the highest sea cliff in Europe. We travelled the mountain roads making numerous stops at scenic overlooks and other attractions. We toured the Northwest of the island where we had an amazing lunch near the lava pools at Porto Moniz and the Seixal natural pools. the scenery and sights were amazing!! The guide was very knowledgeable and obviously enjoyed showing us his island of which he was clearly very proud. I had used Up Mountain Madeira on a previous trip a few years ago. I had taken a half day 4X4 tour and had no hesitation in using them again. My wife enjoyed the tour so much she wants to take Portuguese classes so we can return for an extended stay.

This was the first time I’ve booked guided tours and I was so grateful I selected Up Mountain Madeira. I had great experiences and fantastic times. Our guide David was brilliant, attentive and informative. The communication with Nico was excellent. Thank you David and Nico! I would highly recommend Up Mountains Madeira.

It was exhilarating experience to walk the peak to peak hike on Madeira with Up Mountain in January 2023. Both our guide, Miguel, and our driver were excellent. We learned a lot about the geological, natural and political history of the land. Incredible and rugged landscape. Our guide also fetched my mother-in-law's glasses, which had fallen off her head and down into the bushes off the beaten path. We were especially grateful for this. 🤓 We'd highly recommend this walk again. You'll need to have good knees for the peak to peak walk. We felt safe and well looked after. :)

Amazing walk! Nico and David were so friendly, enthusiastic and had such a wealth of knowledge of their country and the mountains. The small group size was ideal and it made the entire day more personal and enjoyable, I would recommend Up Mountain Madeira to anyone wanting to walk in Madeira.

Very good experience we highly recommend, it was fantastic. Magnificent landscapes and all accompanied by a very friendly guide, a real native who knows his island very well. Don't hesitate to book, you will not be disappointed.

We spent a day with Nico and a day with Diego and had a great experience on both days. Very personable, attentive, and knowlegable. They took us to so many great spots on the island with a focus on local establishments and beautiful locations. We did East on one day and West the other. We could never have done this on our own with a rental. And much better than being on bus or larger tour. Would highly recommend Up Mountain Madeira!!!

Lovely walk by the levada. Our guide was very accommodating and went his way to show us the beauty of Madeira. We also ended up climbing and crawling in the water, but only because we asked for it😁. It was not only fun but educating. We learned things about the surrounding nature that we would have never noticed on our own. Recommended!

An amazing walk between the highest and third highest peak on the island starting with a Beautiful sunrise. David our guide was excellent - knowledgeable and able to share his love of the island and its natural beauty with us

We had a great experience doing the sunrise tour! The booking and payment was really easy (we paid via PayPal) and the trip was very well organised. They have a ‘secret’ spot for the sunrise which is not with the crowds and a better photo opportunity. The guide is really knowledgeable and is happy for people to go at their own pace (so you can either go ahead or stay behind a bit if you want photos etc). Small group so you are not waiting around and we got there early to avoid the crowds. Would definitely recommend booking trips with this company if you are in Madeira.

4×4 Tour to the Private parts of Madeira, Best Part of our holidays! Nico provided us so much insides to his Island, thak you so much for your hospitality!

We had Niko for two days - Niko went over and above the call of duty - he made sure we saw everything we wanted to see and shared with us some of his favorite sights. Niko was an incredible tour guide sharing his love of beautiful Madeira - we saw everything we needed to see in a short amount of time. Niko was not just a tour guide he became family. We can’t wait to see Niko again on our next trip to Madeira

You should definitely do this!! Amazing company with excellent employees that took care of us and who we had a lot of fun with. We did the 25 fountains and sao Lourenco sunrise hikes as well as a private tour. I highly recommend this company, you won't be disappointed.

We did the Pico to Pico hike and it was amazing. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and mountain, and paced our group well, managing different abilities in the group.

A great service friendly and easy to deal with, a unique drive in an 'umm alter jeep'. our guide was excellent, friendly, fun and extremely knowledgeable of madeira, giving great insight into life on the island as well as plants and nature and other places to go visit or eat at. Standing in the back of the truck while offroading was an awesome experience. An absolute must do, great way of seeing the island !

Diego was our tour guide. We had an incredible experience with him. He explained the history of the people and island. Knew all about the local plants. He stopped in a little village for us to enjoy Poncha and local celebration cake. He recommended a fantastic restaurant in town and made sure we knew where the taxi stand was to get back to the boat. He made us feel like family. I would request him when I return.

Had an amazing day out during our stay in Madeira. Ricardo was so friendly and took us to so many gorgeous places , which we probably wouldn’t have got out to see if we hadn’t booked it. Ricardo was also so knowledgeable about everything around him. We tried some traditional drinks which although they were strong they were so good ! and traditional food which I wouldn’t have thought to order myself. I would definitly recommend booking !!

I was looking for a tour that combines watching the sunrise at Pico do Arieiro and the Arieiro-Ruivo walk (PR1) and I was happy to find it at Up Mountain Madeira. Nico and David, our guides were amazing, they were very friendly and open and great with communication. They offered a pick up service and gave us recommendations about the island throughout the tour. I felt like they treated me as a friend rather than just a customer. They ensured that everyone in the group is having a great time, it was a very fun and personal experience. The walk itself was out of this universe, if you don't mind a challenging hike, make sure to go for it! Thank you for Nico and David for this unforgettable day, I'd happily do it again if I'm back in Madeira and recommend it to anyone who's interested.

Had a fantastic day out with one of the crew, could not wish for a better tour incredible roads on and off road in old army vehicle,if it's a great day out you want these are the people to contact price was excellent for a private 4 person trip pic of the driver Inc Rodriguez great guide

We had a great walk to Rabacal and 25 fontes with David in a small group of 5. Sooo much better than our experience in a much larger group. David was informative, cheerful and went out of his way to make sure we had an enjoyable walk. Book with this company- they are the best we've met in Madeira

Brilliant company, complete 2 tours with them this time, Jeep tour and all day walking tour. We have used this company for our last 2 trips to Maderia can’t recommend enough, team are great, informative, with a small tour company you really get the best experience and service. We will be back 😊

Absolutely wonderful time hiking the PR1. They are friendly and professional and flexible. They tried to find another group to share the cost with me but I was determined to do the hike and it’s great to have them manage the logistics and have a companion on the trails. I don’t think I would have been able to do an out and back hike so having Nico waiting on the far side was wonderful.

My best experience ever. 100% service before and during the booking. The driver was excellent and took us to unprecedented places on Madeira Island. 100% recommended for a very favorable price. Thank you very much and see you next time. Frans Geudens
