We had a great day with Nuno and totally agree with all the reviews. The trip was the highlight of memories from our week in Madeira. Totally recommend as an unmissable experience Simon

Itinerary
In my tours I always choose the old roads of Madeira, the ones with the best views, always avoiding the highways and the tunnels, on the way we stop on the most amazing viewpoints, where you will have the opportunity to have the best panoramic view of the island. In this luxury car with an wide panoramic roof you will delight yourself and won't miss anything, when we cross the roads on the mountains we will have the opportunity realize how the water is formed on the top of the island through condensation who feeds the waterfalls the ones that give life and feed the abundant "laura e silva" tropical forest that ended up giving the island its name Madeira, do you know what means Madeira? It is wood. If you wanna to translate the name, it is the "Wood Island" If you wanna know more about this treasure planted in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean in a desirable comfortable way without being walking in the middle of a crowd.

Nuno was great and extremely knowledgeable about the island and its rich history. We went off the beaten path and saw all the hidden gems of Madeira. We’ve traveled a lot and this tour was definitely on our top 3 list.
We spent 3 days exploring Madeira with Nuno, and he was absolutely incredible. He is highly professional, deeply knowledgeable about the island, and clearly loves what he does. Nuno took excellent care of us, kept us away from tourist traps and showed us the very best of Madeira. If you want a guide who is brilliant at his job and makes you feel very well informed and welcome, look no further than Nuno. Highly recommended!
What an amazing time!!!! Nuno is sooooooo great! He understood exactly what my family wanted to do and did not disappoint one bit! From the short walks l, checking the view on the mountain before we went up, to the best meal we had in Madeira. Can’t give more than 5 stars or I would!!!!!
Our day with Nuno far exceeded our expectations. He took us to every part of this beautiful island. He is a super nice guy and is very engaging. He will tailor your experience based on the amount of time you have and based on your mobility. Normal tours will not take you to the sights Nuno will show you. He will take you to the top of the island where you are literally above the clouds. The views are breathtaking and unforgettable. He also takes you to other dramatic views of coves and cliffs. The views are so dramatic and spectacular, your camera will not do them justice. He picked us up at 9:30am and dropped us off close to 6:00pm. But he can tailor your experience to your schedule. A perfect way to see Madeira. Nuno is an excellent guide.
Nuno made our family vacation truly unforgettable. We booked him for three days, and it was the best decision we made when planning our Madeira vacation. He was so much more than a driver or a guide. His knowledge and passion brought every place we visited to life, helping us understand not just what we were seeing, but the history and traditions behind it. He was warm, engaging, and incredibly attentive to our needs. His suggestions for places to visit beyond the typical tourist areas were absolutely spot-on. Thanks to him, we experienced hidden gems and authentic local spots that we never would have found on our own, which made our trip feel even more special and personal. We cannot recommend him highly enough. His Mercedes 8-passengar van car was immaculate and extremely comfortable, and the large moon roofs gave us breathtaking views of the magnificent scenery throughout our journey. We didn’t fully realize how fortunate we were to have such a spacious and comfortable van until we saw other tours with tourists packed in like sardines and looking miserable. Every detail was thoughtfully handled. If we could give Nuno more than five stars, we absolutely would. He made our trip better in every possible way.
My experience with Nuno was truly that, an experience, not simply a tour. I was able to feel and smell and taste the miraculous beauty of Madeira over the course of a fantastic day. The vehicle was perfectly clean and comfortable. The amazing sights were well beyond what could be expected of a simple ride around to basic tourist spots. What you will see with Nuno will leave you breathless. I highly recommend 360 Madeira for travelers that desire a bespoke, customized experience of the terrain, culture and history of this incredible place.
What a great day. We saw so much of this beautiful island and learned so much about it's history. Nuno was excellent and really catered the tour to our likes. I can't recommend anything better. Thanks Nuno!
Where to even begin! I’m writing this a month after spending an unforgettable day with Nuno across Madeira, and calling it the highlight of my trip still feels like an understatement. His passion and deep knowledge of the island and its people shine through in every story and stop. For a day, I truly felt like a local. The whole experience was so authentic and immersive that it could have been an episode of Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain. If you are on the fence, do yourself a favor and book this tour with Nuno. Muito obrigado, Nuno, for making Madeira come alive!
Don’t even know were to start, but let s go.. before our trip to Madeira I was looking for available tours, as we wanted for the first day of our trip to better understand and feel the island. And here our luck began, I found Nuno’s tour and was a bit confused as it didn’t advertise all the tourist spots in Madeira, so, I decided to text him in order to learn more. Texted but nothing changed, he told us that he will show us the authentic vibe of the island, that he wants to offer a full experience not only hotspots and that was it. I decided to trust him and book the trip and I am 100% sure this was the best decision we could take for the entire trip. Will not tell more about the trip, as Nuno wants always his guests to be surprised but what he shows them, but I can tell you for sure that one day with Nuno will show you more than a week with other commercial agencies. You will see some incredible spots and if you decide to have lunch, you will also have the opportunity to eat at the best restaurant from the island, or from Portugal, or from Europe 😁 Can t decide ! Anyway, just let him order when you arrive and thank me later. We spent another half of day him only to have the chance to have lunch there one more time before we go. In the end, if you want a guide who knows everything about whatever you can imagine on the island and who will avoid touristic places but show you what Madeira really is and feel, don t hesitate to reach to him. As I told you, thank me later ! And also, thank you Nuno! You made 70% of our trip ! Can t wait to meet again.
We had an absolutely brilliant day with Nuno and would highly recommend him. His knowledge of Madeira was excellent and he knew exactly where the most interesting and beautiful locations were. His vehicle was extremely comfortable and clean, with bottles of water for us all. We were a group of four friends and were celebrating my 50th birthday on that actual day, so it was the perfect way to do it!
This is a must do if you are travelling to Madeira. Nuno was friendly, extremely passionate about making the whole day an experience. Nuno knew all of the best locations to visit, which without him we would have never found. Nuno was extremely knowledgable about Madeira and its history sharing facts throughout the tour. The experience not only involved visiting the different beauty spots, but also Nuno allowed time for walks and for us to explore. Not only did he provide an amazing tour but also booked a fabulous local restaurant for lunch. Whilst also ensuring my dietary requirements were catered too. Nuno was happy to answer any questions and made time to get to know us and what we wanted to get from the tour. We will 100% use Nuno again for tours around Madeira, and will recommend him to everyone. If you want to see the best of Madeira, then this is the tour. Thank you so much for a fabulous day and making our time in Madeira special.
This is a must for those wanting to see and understand Madeira. Worth every penny. Nuno is excellent. Insightful, interesting and keen to show you Madeira at its best away from the crowds.
This was the highlight of our week holiday. Nuno showed us around the entire island. He has a unique way of guiding you allowing you to explore while providing all the information and more. He stopped us a place for lunch that was our best meal of the holidays We were a bit slow taking loads of pictures and we ended up over running by 2 hours. He didn’t rush us at all. Nuno is a really nice guy and I highly recommend his tour.
Nuno was such an amazing tour guide! He showed us the authenticity of Madeira with many beautiful sightseeing locations and many stories! Highly recommended.
Nuno showed us the real authentic parts of Madeira. We did feel like locals with everything we experienced.
We truly hit the jackpot with Nuno as our tour guide. Right from the start, it was clear we were in for a memorable day—and Nuno didn’t just meet our expectations, he exceeded them. By the end of the tour, it genuinely felt like he was part of our group. I can’t think of a better way to discover the beauty of Madeira. Nuno is super knowledgeable, but what really stood out was his ability to strike the perfect balance—sharing fascinating insights without ever overwhelming or interrupting the moment. He also sprinkled in personal anecdotes along the way, which made everything feel even more engaging and real. And to top it off, he has a great sense of humor that kept the atmosphere light and fun throughout the day. My only complaint? The day flew by far too quickly.
Incredible day with Nuno showing us the best of the best on the island. We all felt fortunate to have found this Renaissance man who added so much to our vacation. He knows the best spots and when to get there to avoid the crowds. His recommendations were flawless with a pretty high maintenance group figuring out what each person needed to have the ultimate experience. Beyond an epic day of touring he brought us to incredible locations for lunch to discuss the US space program and the geo political landscape. We started with a tour guide and ended with a friend.
Nuno was simply fantastic. Loved every bit of our tour. Can’t recommend it highly enough. Nuno knows all the ins and outs of the entire island. Already making plans to head back to Madeira for more time and trips with Nuno!!
I almost couldn’t believe all the 5 star reviews and glowing praise for a day spent with Nuno…well believe it! We had the most wonderful day in Madeira with an absolutely fantastic and gracious host. He is so knowledgeable and accommodating and makes this day trip exactly what you’d like it to be! He gracefully steered us away from tourist traps while getting to just about every perfect vista the island offers. The luxury vehicle is wonderful and the sunroof a must when looking at such amazingly vertical terrain! We will not hesitate to hire Nuno the next time we come to Funchal with our family, best day ever!
We were treated to a tour of the best viewpoints on Madeira with well chosen brief walks on our own. Nuno shared his deep knowledge of the island. Good, real conversation. We can’t imagine a better way to get acquainted with this varied, gorgeous place.
Excellent all round!! As soon as we booked we got confirmation and explanation via What's App from Nuno. Then a couple of days before we got more comms and Nuno confirmed a pick up time with us from our hotel. We didn't have to think about anything. We didn't go to the standard tourist places, but more the hidden local spots we wouldn't otherwise know about. We saw different landscapes, waterfalls, many viewpoints and had short walks in between where Nuno would then drive along and pick us up. Highly recommend to anyone else who wants a private and very comfortable tour of Madeira. Ps. Make sure Nuno takes you to the little restaurant called A Pipa restaurant & bar Snack Bar A Pipa. It's great for seafood, limpets, grilled prawns, tuna, scabbard and poncha with honey.
We had a really remarkable experience on our full day tour. One sight was more beautiful than the next, and our guide Nuno was informative, knowledgeable and so pleasant. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.
We had a fantastic time with Nuno as the perfect guide on this beautiful island. With a lot of personal touch, he showed us so many places worth seeing, all mixed with interesting stories we would have never heard without him. He took all our route wishes into consideration and planned a great day trip around them. Definitely not the last time on the island and not the last time exploring with Nuno.
Nuno was absolutely fantastic! His depth of knowledge on so many subjects is outstanding. Overall, Madeira offers the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you ,Nuno .
Our tour guide, Nuno, was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He took us to places that were off the beaten path that we could never find on our own. Lunch was spectacular at a tiny cliff side locals only place…worth every Euro!
We wanted to explore Madeira beyond the usual tourist spots, and this island tour was perfect for that. It took us to stunning locations, including scenic coastal walks and drives through breathtaking landscapes. The pace was just right for us, with even the coffee stops set in beautiful places. For anyone looking to experience the island's diverse ecosystems and fantastic views, all presented by a fascinating guide, this trip is ideal.
We had the most amazing day with Nuno he showed us many beautiful spots throughout the day and explained all about the lifestyle of Madeira’s residents. We took beautiful photos and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!! Don’t hesitate to book with him now. We have made a new friend in Nuno x
We had an amazing day touring the island with Nuno! He is super knowledgeable and passionate about the island and took us to so many amazing places during our tour. We had a wonderful lunch stop as well - with Poncha of course :) It was a 10/10 tour - would definitely recommend booking if you want to learn about and see a lot of the island in one day!
Nuno was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had! He was very nice and took pictures so we wouldn’t have to worry about it. He took us to spots with amazing views and not as crowded as other known spots. He also took us to a lunch spot with authentic amazing food. Highly recommend!!
Hands down the best day of our trip and the best tour I have ever been on. Nuno is passionate, helpful, and knowledgeable when it comes to this wonderful place and it’s easy to see why he came so highly recommended. His vehicle is luxurious, comfortable and we felt very safe and cared for. His humor and overall vibe was very enjoyable and enhanced our experience. We felt a level of true VIP treatment as he customized his tour to our interests and requests. The group had an unforgettable time and cannot wait to come back for another tour.
Nuno was the PERFECT guide!! I am the type who likes to plan every last minute of my trip so it was tough to give that up and trust in another but boy am I glad I did! His passion for the country and island shows thru and together you’ll see parts of the island you’d never find on your own. My favorite part was lunch where Nuno guided us through the menu. Delicious recommendations and great conversation. BOOK THIS TRIP! You won’t regret it.
Excellent tour! Nuno gave lots of information about the places, the history, the way of life in the island. Wonderful experience!
We had an incredible experience exploring Madeira with Nuno as our guide. From the moment we met, his friendly demeanor put us at ease. Nuno's extensive knowledge of the island's hidden gems made the tour truly special. We had already seen the major spots of the island so he took us to breathtaking spots that we wouldn't have discovered on our own. Nuno's passion for Madeira's history, culture, and natural beauty was contagious. He shared fascinating stories and pointed out unique features along the way. Whether it was a secluded viewpoint or a charming local café, Nuno knew all the best places. His professionalism and warmth made the tour memorable. We felt like we were exploring the island with a friend rather than a guide. If you're visiting Madeira, I highly recommend booking a tour with Nuno. You won't be disappointed!
We had a great tour with Nuno. He has a deep knowledge of the island. He showed us the places that other tour operators could not show us. It was a fantastic day
Many thanks to our guide for our tour of Madeira, we had a great day with Nuno, who showed us many beautiful places, thanks for these memories. The 4 frenchies
Nuno was great! Got a lot of interesting information about the island and some of the sights are really really beautiful. So, all and all, we had a pretty good day.
Nuno was amazing. he took us to some really unique spots. it was one if our highlights of our holiday. i would definitely recommend booking.
A great off the beaten track tour - no crowds but still fabulous places to stop. Informative, friendly and knowledgable with the right level of content. A nice mix of walking to see the sights and driving. Stopped for the best poncho we’ve had and a lovely place for lunch - no frills but great food. Would highly recommend as nothing too much trouble for Nuno

If I could give more than five stars, I would. I spent 2-1/2 days with Nuno touring the gorgeous island of Madeira. I have some mobility issues so he tailored the itinerary to my abilities. That said, I did not feel like I missed a thing. We covered everything I wanted to. He made sure access was as easy as possible at each stop so I didn’t waste any unnecessary effort. He is incredibly knowledgeable and extremely thoughtful and considerate. He loves this island and is proud to show it off. He is also a former professional photographer so sent me photos each day of everything we had done and seen. I cannot recommend Nuno highly enough. Book with him and you will have a very special experience indeed.
We had a wonderful exploration of Madeira Island with Nuno. The car is luxurious and comfortable and Nuno is a smooth driver.The tour was highly informative and a stimulating combination of driving and disembarking for sight seeing and enjoyable short walks.Nuno has a vast knowledge of the island and his love for the islands lifestyle is evident in all his anecdotes.We will definitely book this service again in the future!
Nuno - we can only hope our words will do justice in sharing with everyone how magical this excursion was for us. He was responsive, professional, friendly, courteous, trustworthy, fun, reliable, and honest. We expressed what we generally wanted during this excursion and Nuno did the rest. We visited places only a local like Nuno would know. Being a professional photographer he took pictures that captured the beauty of Madeira with two travelers reveling in the incredible views this island offered. Trust Nuno and go with the flow. We wanted to see unique views of this gorgeous island without visiting cluttered touristy places and he delivered like no one else. Our time in Madeira was short however we made a friend for life. Thank you, Nuno. We will see you again.
This was one of the best tours I have been on. Nuno was right on time for pickup and took us around the western side of the island to see beautiful views of stunning landscapes. We had the most delicious lunch (the best chicken I have had in many years) and he even took photos for us a long the way. Highly recommend this tour. It is worth every penny. We did it the first full day on the island and it was a great way to get to know some of the island and look for things to come back to later.
We loved our day out with Nuno. He took us to some beautiful spots along small backroads - all places we would never had discovered by ourselves. We had several stops for short walks. Nuno selected a local lunch spot on the north coast with a great view and delicious food. We stopped again later for dessert & coffee at another spot with a spectacular lookout over the coast. Across the day Nuno shared interesting commentary about the history and culture of Madeira, as well as useful tips for the rest of our stay. We would highly recommend this private tour as an option to anyone wanting to see as much of the island as possible with only a few days!
This tour is the best way to see Madeira! Nuno is an excellent guide, who's very knowledgeable about the island and who takes pride at what he does. He showed us a few truly amazing places that none of your typical "touristy" tours will show you. We ate excellent food, had interesting conversations and both my wife & I enjoyed every minute of this mini adventure. Our only regret is that we didn't find Nuno at the beginning of our trip, so he could show us even more hidden gems of this amazing island! We will certainly be back soon; booking another tour with Nuno will be the first thing to do, even before booking flights & hotel.

The tour with Nuno should be the number one priority for anyone visiting this beautiful island. Nuno’s enthusiasm for Madeira is contageous. He is extremely knowlegeable and tailored the guided tour to our interests. He will take you to his «secret» spots not crowded with tourists. Nuno’s tour will work for both first time Madeira novices, and for seasoned Madeira return visitors. For our family group of 5 this was our first introduction to Madeira and gave us plenty of ideas for the rest of our visit. One highlight for me was stopping for lunch at a hillside remote restaurant on the north shore with amazing authentic Madeira food and a magnificent view.
I originally chose this tour because it was private and I thought it would be very customizable. I sent him a list of the places on the island I wanted to see and the google map route showing how long it would take. He responded saying "we won't be able to go so far....on the day, we will design the tour together." After a couple more messages, he said "I'm going to ask you let me design the tour and go with the flow." ...So definitely not quite as "custom" I as expected, but I figured that was fine since he knew the island much better than I did. When I would ask for a list of some of the places he planned to take us so I could sign off on them, he said " Let me drive you and I make sure you enjoy". Ok...so I can't even know where we're going until we go there? Kind of annoying but ok. Then we get to the day of tour. Honestly it was ok except for a few glaring issues: He drives fast and recklessly. We could not believe how fast he was taking the (very numerous) turns on windy roads. He slammed on his brakes 3 separate times in the span of a couple hours. We were constantly getting tossed from side to side in the car and it was definitely not the relaxing drive I had expected when booking the "Premium Quality Tour" Even with that though, we were still able to enjoy the tour. It wasn't until the bomb drop at the end of the tour that my mood soured. So at the start of the trip, he offered to take our pictures for us at all of the cool sights/views (like most tour guides). He did insist on using his own phone though which I thought was a little weird, but he told me that his phone had a higher quality camera so I went along with it. Then towards the end of the tour, I asked him to send me the pictures he had taken of us and he told me "I will send you the pictures after you review me on TripAdvisor." I couldn't believe it, so I asked if he could just send them to me now so we can look at them when we get back to our ship. He said "No, I make this deal with all of my customers. I will send the photos after you review me on TripAdvisor." Now not only is that a clear violation of TripAdvisor's rules for reviews, but why didn't he mention that at the start so we could make an informed decision to take our own pictures? This was all of the photos from our ONLY day in Madeira, and now our tour guide is holding them hostage? To me, that was unacceptable behavior. Even worse, when I finally got the pictures, they were 1600 x 900 pixel resolution. Like not even 1080p level quality! I was shocked at how pixelated they were. I'm guessing it was due to compression from WhatsApp so I asked if he could upload them to Google Drive or something instead so we could get the full-res versions, but he refused. How is that for customer service?
Nuno is the best! We booked this tour in our first visit to Madeira and it was the best decision ever!! Nuno made our experience unforgettable! He is punctual, very knowledgeable, kind, funny and friendly. His Mercedes van is very specious and spotless clean. He took us to places that we wouldn’t be able to visit otherwise. He explained everything about the island and made us to fall in love with Madeira. He made a few recommendations for local drinks and foods places and they were all fantastic, real authentic local spots. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic day and we are so appreciative of that! We will definitely go back and ask him to take us to more adventures around the island. If you are debating about this tour, go for it, you will be so happy you did! We feel like we found a friend for life and we are so grateful for everything he did! Behnaz
