A must-do in Madeira! If you’re a fan of stunning views and delicious local wine, this is the tour for you! Diogo and his team were the absolute best, taking us through off-trails with the most jaw-dropping views!! The vineyard was breathtaking with super friendly and funny staff. All in all - best time ever!!

It was raining and windy so we did not see the Sunrise. However, our guide was very nice and we still managed to have fun. I’m sure it would have been wonderful if the weather had been on our side!

Loved it! Our guide was great and the day was just really well planned and fun. Plus, the wine was excellent!
