Private Tours

Not everyone can say that they are fortunate to do what they love, whenever we go on tour we have this privilege, which we really appreciate. We are grateful for the great review we got from our shore excursion. We can help you see and experience a lot of Madeira during a short island visit. Howard deWied – “Edgar was an absolutely fantastic guide. Good English, good sense of humor and great commentary on everything we were seeing. The Island is amazingly beautiful, with so many varied sights, and Edgar managed to show us quite a variety in the 4 hours we were together, as well as having some specially prepared Poncho, and sneaking in a little shopping. We highly recommend him as a tour guide for this island. Frankly the best tour we had on this 12 day cruise trip and we booked all of the ports ourselves with various operators. 6 stars if we could give that many.”

We are confident that our character will remain unchanged, given the dissatisfaction of certain residents in certain areas of Madeira. In order to maintain Madeira's status as an exceptional destination, the competent authorities must develop strategies and procedures as many Nacional parks around the World to prevent dissatisfaction among tourists and locals. The objective of many proposed activities is affected directly or indirectly. We know that we will continue to welcome you warmly and show you the best of Madeira.

The experience of visiting and exploring the best parts of the island with a local guide and being away from the crowds is priceless. We invite you to explore hidden gems, learn about our fauna and flora, culture, and more by choosing us. Tours that can be 100% customized to achieve and give you what you deserve and want. Don't waste any more time and secure your place.

Undoubtedly, flower festival is the greatest promotion of Madeira. Madeira's diverse flowers can be showcased through an allegoric flower parade, which began in 1979 on the island of eternal spring. It is important to say we need to import the majority of the flowers used for this occasion. An extensive program, from the 1st of May to the 25th, which is being a huge success. The uniqueness of Madeira cannot be overstated, and it requires preservation and respect to maintain its fantastic island.

We do not make these types of comments or publications, but the situation is troubling. Madeira cannot survive without tourism, but it does not give the right to some “tourists” to do everything they want without respecting our nature and local laws. Not only puts in question the destination Madeira for the next generation of visitors as those who work directly and indirectly in tourism.

All stories have two or more versions. We believe that those who do not comply and respect Madeira are not the only guilty ones. There is a lack of local authorities to act and raise consciousness as we educate children, imposing simple and basic rules, but also creating alternatives depending on the situation. Without action, what took decades to achieve will be quickly taken away and destroyed, just like how fire destroys what it comes across.

The beauty of this island is enhanced by the presence of breathtaking views. Take part in an adventure with us to discover these and other marvelous of Madeira with a local guide who will guide you at a relaxed pace to maximize the experience.

We wrote a post six days ago about the difficulty of seeing Seixal's natural rocky pools up close, but this is one of the spots where we can have a stunning view. Changing our perspective can sometimes give us a completely different view and make it seem like we're in a different place.

What sometimes happens to us when we change our outlook, we see the things differently.

These dear customers booked a tour through a platform two years ago. My colleague was sick, and I was contacted to do the tour, which I accepted. However, I mentioned that there may be a lack of space for six customers on our Discovery. We made the decision to return to the starting point and not continue the tour after approximately 40 minutes of riding due to the limited space.

Our primary objective is to provide a great experience, and if there are any discrepancies, it's best to avoid insisting on or continuing the tour. Everything was treated with professionalism and ethics, and after two years they returned to Madeira and booked with us, which leaves us very proud.

Madeira's beauty was a great help to us in completing another beautiful tour and proudly announcing another satisfied family. They arrived on Aida Prima cruise ship and had a pleasant day on the island, where they took the cable car, visited the old town, and farmers market before starting our Jeep tour. Our aim was to provide a great experience in a short time, while demonstrating the finest and authentic Madeira.

Holger Burzynski - Tolle Halbtagestour über einen kleinen aber sehr abwechslungsreichen Teil der Insel. Edgar, unser sehr freundlicher und erfrischender Fahrer und "Expeditionsleiter, hat uns die Ecken "seiner" Insel gezeigt, die nicht jeder Touribus ansteuert. Fischerdörfchen, atemberaubende Aussichten, die steilsten Straßen ever, Blick übers Nonnental und ein Abstecher in eine Bar für Nikita und Poncha inklusive. Unterlegt mit jeder Menge interessanter Infos, kleiner Geschichten und Humor! Offroadabschnitte waren auch dabei...besonders spannend für die Kids! Als Abschluss der Skywalk an der höchsten Steilklippe "Europas". Ein toller Tag - auch dank Eddy! Obrigado!

EN - Great half day tour over a small but very varied part of the island. Edgar, our very friendly and cool driver and "expedition leader, showed us the corners of " his" island, which does not go to every tour bus. Fishing village, breathtaking views, the steepest roads ever, view over Nun´s Valley and a stop to a bar for Nikita and Poncha included. Supported with lots of interesting information, little stories and humor! Offroad sections were also there...especially exciting for the kids! As the end of the skywalk on the highest cliff "in Europe", a great day - also thanks to Eddy! Obrigado!

We had a fantastic morning and fantastic tour for the family who hired us, thanks to James leading a sightseeing tour of the East.

Once again, we are grateful that you have chosen Always Madeira. On our behalf here, we look forward to exploring other beautiful things.
