Taste Funchal: food, wine & cultural tour

Lauren_N, Jul 2026

Fantastic food in Funchal

This is a great introduction to the food and drink of Funchal. Our guide Carla was fantastic, giving us the history and culture behind each dish and taking us to some lovely out of the way spots I doubt I’d have found on my own. Make sure you arrive hungry!

Madeira Sunset at Pico do Arieiro and PR1 Stairway To Heaven

Katy_F, Jul 2026

Great & efficient way to do the hike

Efficient and easy way to do the hike. Pick up time was communicated via WhatsApp beforehand. Sunset was a great time to do the hike, I had some parts of it all to myself. I didn’t think the hike itself was hard. Guide gave full instructions and you can’t get lost.

Madeira Sunset at Pico do Arieiro and PR1 Stairway To Heaven

Joanna_C, Jul 2026

Weather changed plans

Sadly we couldn’t go to the peak as the weather was too wet and foggy, Luís however put on a great alternative where we followed the sunset along the coast and took in some incredible sights. Did feel a little rushed… maybe less places but more time BUT I do appreciate he was slightly winging it due to the last minute change of your. It’s just means I have to come back to Madeira to do the full tour. Davide was great, loved chatting to him about his music. Gutted to have missed the stairway to heaven but can’t be helped

Madeira West Tour with Guide Fanal Forest Skywalk Experience

Alberto_R, Jul 2026

Nice excursión.

It stops in quite a lot of places so there are short stops in every place. At the beginning of the day I was surprised we only had 20 minutes in Camara de lobos but it is because the whole trip takes 9 hours from 9 to 18 so there is little time. It was good to know many different places and knowing where you would dlike to comeback to explore further. Porto Moniz is a very small place, I wouldn't say is even a village but the swiming pools are great. Seixal seems a nice place to stay for some days and move around. Only bad thing was a couple in our trip that was all the time arriving late. If we had 20 minutes they took 30 and the rest of the people in the van had to wait for them and like this several times. On top they were chatting all the time non stop so because of them we couldnt hear the explanations from the driver. Very annoying people. The driver was nice. Just sorry for him because he had a bad time because of this couple.

Great experience, Our driver was very friendly and gave us good advice and tips for our stay in Maderia . The walk was very challenging so wouldn't recommend for people who struggle with a lot of steps and steep gradients or young children.

Professional firm with a perfect guide

Excellent tour which gave us a real flavour of this beautiful island. Our guide, Bruna, was perfect; she gave us an insightful running commentary and recovered the situation very well when our Mercedes proved that German engineering is not quite perfect. Loved it!

blondie_lisa1, Jul 2026

Beautiful

We were picked up by Luis, who was unfortunately running quite late, which meant we then had quite a rush to reach Pico do Arieiro, he was however, very nice and very apologeticArrived at the stairway to heaven and saw the most beautiful sunset, we then unfortunately didn’t listen to instructions properly and walked the incorrect route, which meant our entire group had to walk back up 7 zillion steps - completely our own fault - so I recommend listening properly :DPR3 was also lovely, we really enjoyed our day and Luis was super nice and friendly and we would certainly recommend using this tour to see these amazing places

A must do

Simply excellent.We usually book 4x4 jeep safaris when on holiday but so glad we gave this Eastern Tour in a Mercedes EV a go. So comfortable, so quiet, so clean.Roberto is clearly passionate about what he does, the island and its flora & fauna which made this such a great day. Stunning scenery, delightful lunch all at a relaxed pace.Just wish we’d found this earlier so we could also have done the West tour as well.Excellent.

Q7003MNjackiep, Jun 2026

Unforgettable Experience!!!

We had the most amazing day exploring the west side of Madeira with Vanscape Tours, and I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough.Our guide, Jazz, was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we met him, he made us feel so welcome and genuinely looked after. He was friendly, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and had a wonderful sense of humour that made the whole day so much fun.The scenery was simply breathtaking. We visited stunning waterfalls, incredible viewpoints, and some of the most beautiful parts of the island that we would never have found on our own. Jazz shared so much local knowledge and even gave us brilliant tips and recommendations for the rest of our holiday, which we’ve already started using!The jeep was incredibly comfortable, and Jazz was an excellent driver, making us feel completely safe while still making the off-road sections great fun.What really made the day special was how personal it felt. By the end of the tour, it genuinely felt like we’d made a new friend rather than just had a guide.If you’re visiting Madeira, don’t hesitate to book with Vanscape Tours—you won’t regret it. It has been one of the highlights of our holiday, and we’ll be talking about it for years to come. Thank you, Jazz, for such an unforgettable experience!
