Itinerary
We will explore part of the island, concentrating our day in the northwest. This tour will be customized to my guests depending on their expectations or places they want to visit. I can also provide an on-time designed tour just after talking with guests. After knowing what my guests would like to do i can suggest some itineraries that will allow you to see the highlights of the region, in a no-rushing experience, avoiding crowds, going off the beaten track that will take us to places only accessible to some locals. The pickup time is merely a suggestion. Travelers can choose the time to be picked up, upon agreement with the guide.
Meeting and pickup
These are private tours with a single pick-up stop, and the adventure begins as soon as we meet. Important: pick-ups outside Funchal, Santa Cruz, and Câmara de Lobos incur a small additional fee. I drive a car branded with the Go Local Madeira logo and usually pick up guests at their door. For on-shore tours, I’ll meet you at the cruise ship dock and provide clear, easy-to-follow instructions to ensure a smooth and stress-free meeting. I have two fully restored all-terrain vehicles for your comfort and safety: Nissan Patrol (1993) – 5 seats: 1 facing forward, 4 in the back facing sideways (60 cm / 23 inches each), with a panoramic/convertible roof for amazing views. Land Rover Discovery TDI (1996) – 4 seats facing forward, perfect for a comfortable ride. Vehicles are assigned depending on availability, maintenance, or weather conditions, with prior notice given to guests.
