Why Explore With a Local?

Madeira Is Beautiful.
Driving It Can Be Another Story.

  • Narrow Mountain Roads

    Steep climbs. Sharp bends. Tight village streets.

  • Navigation & Parking

    Unfamiliar roads. Limited parking. Constant attention.

  • You Miss the Scenery

    Your eyes are on the road.

    Not on Madeira.

You Enjoy Madeira. We Take Care of the Road, Route & Experience.

Explore Madeira privately with a local guide in a comfortable electric Mercedes van. We handle the driving, timing and itinerary while you enjoy the island.

Private Madeira tours: booking questions

Can I see Madeira in one day with a private guide?
Our Madeira Signature Island Discovery is the 10-hour Full Island private tour for visitors who want a broad island journey in one day. It combines mountains, villages, our family farm in São Jorge and north-coast scenery. It does not visit every place on Madeira. Choose separate West and East tours if you have two days and want more time in each region.
Which private Madeira tour should I choose?
Choose West for Fanal, Seixal and Porto Moniz; East for Pico do Arieiro and Santana; Highlights for a shorter introduction; Sunrise for an early mountain visit; or Signature Island Discovery, our 10-hour Full Island tour, to see contrasting regions of Madeira in one day. Stops depend on weather, access and the booked duration.
How much do your private tours cost and how long do they last?
For 1–4 guests, Highlights starts at €215 for 5 hours; West and East at €245 for 8 hours; Sunrise at €125 for 4 hours; and Signature Full Island at €455 for 10 hours. Prices are per private group. Larger groups, selected pickup areas and holiday dates can change the total; check your date in the booking calendar.
Is Funchal hotel or cruise-port pickup included?
Yes. Pickup and return at Funchal hotels, accommodation and the cruise port are included. Choose your pickup area before adding a tour to the basket. Outside-Funchal supplements vary by tour; Signature Full Island also includes Caniço, Ribeira Brava, Ponta do Sol and Calheta. Airport pickup adds €75 per private booking.
What information do cruise guests need to provide?
Select Funchal cruise-port pickup and enter your ship name and its arrival and departure times. Your driver will wait at the port terminal exit with a sign showing your name. Tell us your ship timings so we can plan the tour and return around them.
How do I book and pay?
Choose a tour, date, time, guests and pickup area in our Bókun booking system. Pay a 40% deposit online or pay in full. A booking is confirmed after successful payment and availability confirmation. If you pay the deposit, the remaining 60% is paid at the end of the tour. You can add tours on different dates to the same basket.
What is the difference between Standard and Luxury?
Both are private bookings for your group. Standard accommodates up to 8 guests, with the vehicle allocated by group size and availability. The guaranteed Luxury Mercedes EQV option accommodates up to 7 guests and adds €75 per private tour booking when selected. Check the vehicle choices offered for your tour.
What happens if my date is unavailable?
Ask us to check extra availability. We may be able to arrange a partner driver and vehicle, but an enquiry is not a confirmed booking. Online bookings close four hours before pickup. All services on 25 and 31 December 2026 and 1 January 2027 are by request only.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled pickup for a full refund of the amount paid. Cancellations less than 24 hours before pickup are non-refundable. See our Booking & Cancellation Policy for details.
