We went to Madeira East tour by Madeira-Island-Tours. It was one of the best tours I´ve ever had in Madeira, where I´ve visited 20 times. The driver was a good guide at the same time and told us in a very interesting way from every place we visited. Don´t You miss this tour!!

This tour does cover some ground and is a decent introduction to places you may want to go back to, but I did not feel it was the best way for me to spend the day. It is a lot of van time and there are some interesting stops, but for me, more of an outdoor lover, it was not a great. There were others on the trip that where older and perhaps less energetic and they seemed to enjoy it. It does provide a great way to see the scenery around the Eastern island.

This is a great walk. The route is designed to start high and ends at a lower elevation. This walk is called moderate. It does include some sections of steps, but it is not really a moderate hike. It is heavily used and mostly on rock paths. The waterfalls are fantastic and there is plenty of time to view the sites. The pace is leisurely and allows for picture taking. This is really a walk, not so much a hike, but it covers beautiful grounds and was a great day. My guide, Lillyanne or Leeanne???, was fantastic. I am sorry I do not remember her name. She is a naturalist, knew the history, the plants, was patient, conversational, really fantastic. If you have a chance to learn from her, I recommend it.

Great walk, fantastic sea views a change from the levada.Guide was great daily easy walk, little up and down, just make sure you have good shoes.

The tour was great & Bruno was fun & informative. What would make it 5*? Probably hard to say. Some of the latter stops seemed a bit pointless - a church & a view. However it was the Best of the West so we needed to stop. A good tour.

THis place was great! Staff are amazing! we has the honours of meeting Juan and he took care of me and my boyfriend, even got us fresh mangos when we asked for some! keep this kid around

Our driver today in a small passenger van was Bruno. He picked us up and dropped us off right outside the gate to our hotel. We went to 3 locations all of which were beautiful.

We were collected from our hotel at 8.45 in the morning and our driver was very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. He always checked we were comfortable and his ongoing commentary all through the day was fantastic. After a quick trip through Camacho we went to one of the highest points in Madeira, Pico Ariero(don’t forget a coat/jumper!) The trip down to the coast was breathtaking, especially along the ‘fruit road’ where every kind of fruit can be seen growing by the road. Some lovely seaside resorts and rum factory visited towards the end of the trip. Would have loved to have spent more time in Porto Cruz near the rum factory and Machico on the beach than Santana which has very little to see other than the traditional houses. A great value trip and would highly recommend. You get a great feel for the history of the island and the people of Madeira. We paid €35 each and only returned to our hotel adter 5pm so a full day trip.

A fabulous full day tour. Approximately 9 am to 5pm in a small group with an excellent guide/ driver. We learnt and saw so much with just the right amount of time at each place. We were blessed with good weather so the view points were spectacular. We also loved the traditional poncha house for refreshments and comfort stop plus the traditional houses of Santana. Our driver recommended the best restaurant that was reasonably priced and served snacks and full lunches. My favourite day of our holiday so far.

Great communication from Viator and Lido tours. Pick up was exactly on time. Just 17 people in our group. Marco was our guide and very funny and knowledgeable. Was able to stress the importance of everyone staying on time and there were no late tourists returning from viewpoints. We saw so much and was definetly worth the money. A full day of fun.

Great walking tour, despite the shower rain. Thanks to Ruby we had a great walk. Lido Tours offers a great way to explore the island when you are cruising. They pick you up at the harbour. Communication was excellent. Driver is a save driver. Pricing is reasonable. Thank you again Ruby, see you maybe in december!

I went on the Western Madeira tour on 14 January 2025. The driver was excellent, very informative and there was plenty of time to see each place we stopped at. Lots of photo opportunities. This was my second Lido Tour and I will definitely book another one when I return to Madeira.

Wonderful trip around the east of Madeira, lots of stops to see scenery. Stopped at Santana for lunch. Driver was also tour guide, very informative & friendly. Trip was very good value at 30 odd euros each for a 8 hour tour. I would highly recommend this trip.

Persuaded by all the positive reviews, I decided to book 4 hikes (Ponta de São Laurenço, Larano, Rabaçal, Madeira Peaks) and 2 bus tours (Best of the West, Nun's Valley) with Lido Tours - and it was the best decision! I had Sara(h) as tourguide for all the hikes, a very pleasant, knowledgeable and charming person, not only on a professional but also on a personal level. She took good care of the group on each of the hikes and made sure that we have an enjoyable experience, while providing lots of useful information and honest recommendations (fluently in different languages!). The hikes have been breathtaking, you should definitely not miss the Larano and São Laurenço hike, they have been my absolute favourites. I also liked that the busses have been very clean and were driven by an excellent busdriver and the pick-ups were each time reliable and punctual. The Madeira Peaks hike was cancelled due to the remaining damage of the wild fires last year and I was offered alterative hikes for that day and when declining the offers I immediately got a refund. The bus tours have also been nice to see more of the island, with very knowledable and entertaining guides (Bruno/Marco). Personally, I preferred the hikes but just because they were more active/nature-related and less touristic, but I can recommend such a "more relaxing" tour between the hiking. Overall, very professional tour provider. I will recommend Lido Tours to my family/friends and will try some of the other hikes during my next stay on Madeira!

Went 18th of January, sadly I forgot the name of the guide but she was amazing! Very knowledgeable and considerate. The walk itself was easy to moderate, a lot of nice views, recommended to do!
