This was one of the best excursions I've done anywhere ever! We were lucky with the weather as it was clear with good visibility across the mountains and sunny all day, bit it was such a superb experience it would have been great without it! First of all the vehicle (Land Rover Defender) was in good shape and performed brilliantly. It was open top and enabled all round views and an exciting off-road experience! More importantly, the guide EDDIE was an absolute rockstar and an excellent host. Deeply knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, locations and history, he was also a total badaxe behind the wheel and provided enough entertainment to keep us thoroughly engaged for the duration of the trip. Eight hours door to door including levada walk (easy and unaccompanied), breaks and lunch, the time just flew by and I feel like we really got to know the island. By far the best thing we've done on holiday on Madeira, I unreservedly recommend this trip.
