Very good informative tour of the food that is grown on the Island. I have learnt a lot about the island and its people. The lunch on the mountain Resturant was excellent all local ingredients and cooked fresh. Our tour guide answered all our questions and we both came home very satisfied with the day tour.

This was such an amazing, authentic experience that really allowed us to fully understand the island of Madeira, the people, and their overall lifestyles. Our tour guides were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, understanding and overall had such wonderfully upbeat moods and personalities. They answered every single question we had, and took their time to ask and make sure we were enjoying our experience throughout the tour. We loved seeing everything, especially since we know we wouldn’t have come across those places and activities on our own. Thank you Lucy and Bryan for a great experience!
Fantastic guide and our favourite trip during our stay

Honest and personal stories from the tour guide. Visiting her family banana plantation was really interesting. You see a large part of the island and have an amazing lunch (best meal we had during our week stay!). The highlight for us was the dairy farm which was a unique experience in Madeira. We learnt so much about the island in just 1 day. Would definitely recommend.
Great experiece

Great experiece. We learned alot about farming and the life at Madeira. With just one other couple and a guide eager to tell us everything it was great. How they handle the bananas was the best part.
Intressant och personligt om växter och jordbruk

Vi reste med guide vars familj var jordbrukare. Det var bara ett annat par som delade minibussen. På rundturen kom vi till ställen som vanliga turistguider inte har tillgång till, så som en plantskola där man bedriver utveckling och studier och vi fick lära oss mycket om arbetet och utvecklingen av växterna på ön. Intressant var också ett besök på hennes familjs bananodling och kollektivet där bananklasarna tas om hand. Har du det minsta intresse för växter eller en vanlig Madeirabos vardag är det här en resa för dig.
