Amazing tour!

5.00Roberto is a amazing guide. He has alot of knowledge about madeira and is able to provide information about everything we asked. What seperated this tour from the rest was the silent electric van. We where able to have a nice conversation without the need to yell. The van was in a great clean and comfortable condition. Roberto showed us the popular spots in madeira but more importantly showed us a few hidden gems. The whole tour we could do at our own pace staying longer and or shorter at certain spots, we never had to rush. To summarize it was a amazing experience! Kind regards Tim
Amazing tour! Definitely would recommend!

5.00The (west) Madeira tour was great! Our guide Roberto was amazing! He was very kind and was able to answer all of our questions which he answered in a very passionate way. He is capable of speaking multiple languages so the communication was very easy. The van he has was very modern, electric, comfortable and clean. He really took his time explaining everything and gave us the freedom to do the tour in our own pace which made the overall experience very relaxing and we could really enjoy the beauty of Madeira. We would definitely recommend this tour! Greetings from Loes :)

5.00After a great day out exploring the East side, we really looked forward to doing the West Coast tour with Roberto. We stopped for a great lunch at a cafe he pointed out, had a Madeira tasting and always managed to be ahead of the crowds. We travelled in great comfort with an excellent and knowledgeable driver.
2 Fantastic days

5.00We had 2 fantastic days and enjoyed the beautiful Madeira, and the tour of the West/East coast. Tour operator Roberto showed us all the beauty, visited local cafes, and let us enjoy the delicious drink Poncha. We also visited a wine tasting, where we were allowed to taste the wine from 3- 5 and 10 years old 👍 Very extensive information about the island benefited us, and several stops were planned for taking beautiful pictures. We were very satisfied! Highly recommended for every Madeira visitor. Roberto, thank you again! Kees & Sylvie Falcon's worth Netherlands

5.00Our guide, driver and co owner Roberto was very enthusiastic, thoughtful, knowledgeable and sensible, altering the itinerary depending on the weather conditions. The Mercedes people car was very comfortable and driven well. It was worth the expense of a more personal service and quality trip. I have no hesitation in recommending Madeira Electric Tours.

5.00We had a wonderful tour of the West part of the island with Roberto. Very friendly and professional, and comfortable mini-van. Definitively a highlight of our week in Madeira.
THIS is the tour (and guide) you’re looking for!!

5.00It’s always a gamble when you book a tour based solely on descriptions and reviews, but we are SO lucky we picked this one with Roberto and his tour company! He was by far one of the best guides we’ve had…ever! Born in South Africa, but Madeiran by heritage and blood, Roberto traveled the world then eventually settled in his native homeland. He has a passion for Madeira: its lifestyle, its culture, its history and its people, and it shows in his ability to share his island home with you. His enthusiasm is infectious and you leave his tour feeling like you’ve genuinely made a new friend. He’s conscientious to the needs of his guests and goes the extra mile to provide a first class experience. My husband and I visited Madeira as a stop while on a cruise. We knew we wanted to see as much as possible in the 2 days we had available, so we booked the full day tour of the western side of the island with Roberto. He drives a very comfortable electric Mercedes van and makes sure to take you on the route that the tour buses can’t. We were pleased to find out that he purposefully plans his tour in the opposite direction of the others, to avoid congestion at the well known sites, and takes you to the some of the “off the beaten path” places as well. It’s a chance to see the true Madeira through the eyes of a local. Without a doubt, we can emphatically recommend Roberto and The Electric Tour Company for all your Madeiran travel adventures!!
