About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- kerrycZ3120ZI0 contributionsAmazing tripWas an excellent trip - driver very knowledgeable and friendly. Explained the plan of the day and was punctual. The sights were awesome and we learned so much about the beautiful island.Written January 3, 2025
- Shelley W0 contributionsFull day island tour with Joao - not to be missed!We had a wonderful time yesterday on the full day island tour. Our guide, Joao, was excellent. He arrived promptly at 9.30am and took us around the whole island. As a local Joao has in depth knowledge of Madeira, and took us to places we never would have found on our own. He is also multi lingual and speaks excellent English having lived in South Africa for many years. I can’t recommend this tour, and Joao, more highly. This was an unforgettable day for us, and gave us a wonderful insight into this beautiful island.Written January 3, 2025
- markbH677GN0 contributionsAn outstanding and thoroughly enjoyable day out with a brilliant guide.An absolutely amazing day out! The tour was outstanding the places amazing and our tour guide Eduardo (Ed) was truly brilliant!!! The swimming at Porto Maniz (Enchanted Terraces) was terrific, also the off road part was great - enjoyed the site down lunch as a group! All in all it was a fantastic part of our holiday on Madeira.Written January 2, 2025
- charlottebD9204TB0 contributionsMany viewpoints & offroading in an open roof jeepWe booked this tour, because it included so many places that we wanted to visit, such as Porto Moniz, Seixal and Fanal. We were very lucky to have Dino as our private driver for just the two of us. What a happy guy and very knowledgeable about the island. The jeep is really cool, the roof can open and you can stand on the backseats and peek your head out for the best views. This tour takes you on all the steep, narrow and offroad roads that you'd rather skip yourself, would definitely recommend!Written January 2, 2025
- 784garyb7840 contributionsAbsolutely wonderful dayAbsolutely fantastic experience. Particular respect to our tour guide, Nelson. Outstanding person - we had a person with learning and communication difficulties and Nelson went above and beyond to include and communicate with him. He had the additional challenge of a group requiring both English and French languages, and he handled everything with aplomb. 100% recommended and we will definitely use Green Devil again.Written January 1, 2025
- 858rajab0 contributionsGood trip for the islandExcellent trip in a 4 by 4. Picked up on time from our hotel by Pedro - our guide. He was chatty & helpful & well informed and made the trip enjoyable. Swimming in the natural pools was nice - although initially the water felt cold which was natural as it was December but you get used to it quickly. Certainly something to consider doing in MadeiraWritten December 18, 2024
- Anna H0 contributionsOff road and wine? It's a match!We had a great half day trip. Lino is a very experienced driver. He told us a lot about the country and answered every question we had. We were not sure about the combination of off road and wine tasting in the beginning, but it was sooo much fun. Thank you so much Lino for this experience!Written December 17, 2024

- GinaNelson_80 contributionsLots of Fun!Wonderful time! A great half day tour. The wine tasting was nice and the off-roading is always fun. Would recommend during your visit.Written December 13, 2024
- meijumaaria0 contributionsWonderful experience with the Green DevilThe safari was very comprehensive and Lino was an excellent guide with a good knowledge of Madeiran flora and fauna. A great way to see the island if you do not want to rent your own car!Written December 13, 2024
- Dream495515213670 contributionsDisrespectful tour guide!!!!!I woke up in the morning so excited to go on this tour. The office staff was very nice. Very kind as well helped me plan out a short stay. I paid over a link that they sent to me. I went to get coffee and breakfast 30 minutes before the tour started. I also bought 10 Portugal pastries for others. Being kind and having the Christmas spirit. I was in contact with the office by WhatsApp and told them I got pastries for all and they put a heart icon on it. As the tour driver arrived he greeted me with anger and hated that I had pastries and coffee on me. he jumped out the vehicle and started yelling at me that there is no food or drinks allowed in the car. And was shaking his head and acting aggressive. I understand if food and drinks are not allowed but it is The manner he handled the situation that matters. You can't be aggressive and forceful. It would've been better if he would have said I apologize, but we do not allow food or drinks in the vehicle. And said it kindly. Do not yell and have a child's temper tantrum because I think we all understand if this kind of person came at somebody in a fighting method realistically you will get that reaction right back. I noticed as the tour continued on this was a multi language tour. And he referred to the France more the the English speakers. when you would ask Draute a question. He would say please do not ask questions because he has a lot to say. Then he would not talk for 5 to 10 minutes. Like this is turning into a toxic relationship. As we pulled in to a stop. I noticed other tour companies with much much nicer vehicles and newer such as Mountain expedition, and Trues IRIT I was able to talk to the office of the other companies and they Charged 55 instead of 58. Which was quite amazing because this company has very old vehicles from the 1990s that has some rust and cracks, you can see how old the vehicle is. Versus the new vehicles these other companies have charging three euros less. So then, as the day went on. These other companies didn't have space for me to jump ship with this company and join another company's tour so l stayed on the tour and the driver became slightly kinder. But very sarcastic and gave more attention to the non-English speaking Tourist. then he asked everybody. What did they want to do for lunch? Are they going to go to a restaurant or are they going to have a picnic I responded with I will take lunch at the restaurant. And he asked what do you like meat, chicken, fish, but he never asked me which option. As the tour went own he kept saying the tourist don't know anything. And laughed and others laughed with him even tho it is not funny. he has been a guide for 32 years!! How???? I have no clue. By the time it was lunch time he told me to go find a Place to eat. So l went to look at 3 places. But went back the restaurant him and the France tourist went to as well. but the food took maybe 20 to 25 minutes to prepare. Then the guide said did I not order anything? I said I did but it is taking a long time. He said yes because I never told him what food I wanted so everyone else will eat before me and I must wait. Which I could care less. He was making trouble out of nothing. We finally started exchanging bad words. I paid for my food and stood outside intill I saw a taxi and left the tour on the other side of the island. I deeply hope that this tour operator or tour guide is disciplined for his extremely disrespectful behavior. It’s the manner in which you treat somebody. I don’t think that they realize that you just can’t talk however you want to somebody and then assume that someone’s not gonna have a reaction For me personally if you disrespect me, I am going to disrespect you right back. I will not allow someone to try to intimidate me. Remember, it is me that is coming to your city spending my money making sure your economy is thriving. Without me and other Tourist. You would have no money do you clearly understand that?Written December 13, 2024

So glad we booked this tour. It was such a great day, especially for my husband as it was his birthday. The humour, friendship and the knowledge of the island that Lino provided was first class. We have been on many tours of the Island, but this jeep tour was by far the best we have had. Great company and so many laughs. Lino isThe Grren Devil!!! We particularly enjoyed Lino's stunning ability to talk to the animals! Our travelling companions were also great fun and up for an adventure. Definitely recommend this safari jeep tour with Lino or Bruno. Thank yiu for such a memorable day. Silvia and Kevin. Xx

We had perfect drivers ang guides for a full day program! 2 cars went together for onroad and offroad experience, with a complete guide to learn about Madeira's nature, landscape, hystory. Our drivers was safe on onroad and fun on offroad. I suggest everyone to choose them even for a half or a full day program!

This was the first time using this company and my last time! The jeep that was used for the tour I is for four persons and not for six persons. We were placed in the back of the vehicle on jump seats facing each other with no view! It was the worst and most uncomfortable ride we have ever experienced. The driver did a poor job of telling us where we were going and what we were seeing! Poor communication skills! We don't remember this tour!

Ok the reasons you should avoid this tour. On April 27. 2023 on Funchal Madera we went in a convoy of 5 jeeps. 3 were fine having places for one passenger in front, three were in the next row and 2 seats in the back facing each other. However, there were 2 jeeps (alas one of ours) that had the seating for one in the front seat, 3 in the second and then had hard benches facing each other in the back where they stuffed 4 people, 2 on each side, without anything to hold onto seating on these hard benches. (the jeep was a tad larger but we 4 in the back were crushed together.) Ok, we are going up and down mountainous terrain, moving back and forth, trying not to move around without secure seats and in really cramped position for at least 6 hours.
I know the guide--more on him later—had little choice but to put the 4 of us—one over 80 and 2 others in their late 70s as well as an overweight lady, in that back as the 4 positions with regular seats could only be occupied by 2 large men, 1 large women and a thin wife as the first three could not fit in the back. These guests felt so bad for us cramped in the back they still volunteered to take turns as it was obvious we had been put in a dangerous and crowded position—as we went up and down mountains with sharp turns and off-road. No seatbelts.
We were in a jeep convoy, I noted that 3 of the jeeps did not have our configuration: instead—in the smaller jeep version the last 2 seats at the back for guests were real seats facing each other rather than 4 of us sprawled to try to find a space on a bench at the back. That would have been fine.
So here is the luck of the draw: there were many great things concerning this trip, but if the owner continues to schedule 4 people in awful benches in the back of those two jeeps, beware. Both those in our jeep and others who saw the situation were—as we were—simply appalled.
Now the great part. Our guide—Spencer Thorpe--was fabulous-- great knowledge of the island, fun and a fantastic driver. The lunch midway was absolutely top notch, the sights worth the trip. However, until the owner shows more care for those who book this and guarantees each person a real and safe seat, I would avoid.
