“The day spent on this experience was a game-changing highlight of our visit to Madeira. Our host was kind, gracious, knowledgable, patient, and generous with his time and his many deep insights. Our host speaks excellent English, and utilized a helpful device to amplify his voice, which was important, as the tour was conducted in an open vehicle with a bit of road noise. The experience deepened our understanding of, and appreciation for, Madeira in a way we would not have been able to gain on our own. He added delightful and thoughtful touches to elevate the experience in unexpected ways,, and shared insights and recommendations for places to go…”
