Madeira West side: Cabo Girão, Seixal & more – Full Day Tour

So lucky to have had a sunny day in January during this trip. Roberto, our guide was a ray of sunshine as his knowledge of Madeira islands as well as its fruit bearing trees/plants was top notch. His enthusiasm was so exhilarating as you could see that he enjoyed the trip as much as we did. Don’t book your trip with anyone else as he is the best

My aunt and I had a fantastic private tour of the West side of Maderia and our amazing guide Roberto certainly did not disappoint! From start to finish the day was packed with everything you could possibly wish to know about the island, with Roberto's knowledge being extremely extensive. Roberto's attention to detail is impeccable, prompt collection from where we were staying in an immaculate Mercedes electric people carrier. Roberto couldn't do enough for us, he drove us to various spots on the west coast including various fantastic viewpoints, little villages and waterfalls. The time he allowed for each stop was perfect and we didn't feel rushed and completely at ease. Roberto has a wonderful sense of humour and had us giggling all day, he has a clear and charming voice and speaks many languages, it is very apparent he has spent a long time educating himself not only of the amazing flora and forna of Maderia but the various cultures of his guests, making him so relatable. One of our last stops was a real, authentic 'Poncha' taverna on the sea front, where the wonderful owners welcomed us and we sampled some beautiful wines and ponchas. This was a truly magical, unforgettable day and the highlight of our holiday. Thank you so much Maderia Electric Tours, we highly recommend you and we cannot wait to return to do the east side of the Island with you next time!

This was one of the highlights of our Madeira trip. Roberto met us right in Funchal and took us on a beautifully paced journey along the west side of the island. What really sets this tour apart is the small group size and the electric van—comfortable, quiet, and a huge upgrade from being herded around in a 6–20 person bus. It made the entire day feel relaxed and personal rather than rushed or touristy. Roberto was fantastic. He didn’t just drive us from point A to point B—he gave meaningful background on each location, shared local context, and helped us actually connect with what we were seeing. You can tell he cares about Madeira and enjoys sharing it. The timing at each stop felt just right, and the overall flow of the day was smooth and unhurried. If you want to see some of Madeira’s most stunning west-side scenery in a thoughtful, comfortable way—with a guide who enhances the experience instead of just narrating it—this tour is a great choice. Highly recommended.

The Western Tour is a journey through the beautiful nature of western Madeira. Roberto is a very motivated guide with a lot of knowledge about his land, flora and fauna. He succeeded in inspiring us for Madeira and transferring his connection to nature to us. The super modern Mercedes bus made the day trip comfortable. A pleasant, relaxed and very insightful tour, which we are happy to recommend! Thank you so much!

We had a fantastic tour with Robbie exploring the west side of the island. There were just two of us on the tour which allowed Robbie to make changes to the itinerary to suit our needs. The electric vehicle was super comfortable and superbly driven as we were shown hidden gems across the island. The best part though was Robbie himself who was a superb host with vast knowledge of the island that he shared with great enthusiasm. Overall an excellent tour. Would highly recommend.

We had an absolutely fantastic day with Robbie, full of fascinating facts, incredible views, great food and lots and lots of laughter. There were just two of us on the tour, but with a maximum of 7 guests, it would never feel rushed, crowded, or impersonal. Robbie was a sheer joy to spend the day with. he knows so much about the island, and gave us lots tips for enjoying our stay. I wasn't expecting the electric vehicle to make so much difference, but it really did - we glided silently around the roads which meant that there was no need to shout over the engine noise, and no diesel fumes. It was a true luxury experience. We had plenty of opportunity to tailor the day, and Robbie was keen to find out what sort of things we would enjoy doing to he could give us the best possible experience. It was the highlight of our trip, and I would definitely book with Madeira Electric Tours again. Thank you Robbie.

So glad we took this tour with Robbie today. He was fun, informative, flexible and a really great driver (super quiet electric car). The Western tour took us to Porto Moniz & we were so glad we weren’t driving a hire car! Instead we were grateful for a relaxed ride over to the north coast of the island. Would highly recommend these tours as a fantastic experience with someone who is knowledgeable & passionate about this beautiful island.

What a brilliant day in the comfort of an electric mini bus. You were able to clearly hear all the information that the guide, Roberto shared. So much knowledge and passion for the island. Pick up and drop off at your door and a full day out. Such a brilliant day - you must do it.

A very comfortable Mercedes vehicle with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. We enjoyed the day and look forward to our next trip on Friday!

I really enjoyed this tour, it was great to get more of a sense of the island and to see several different areas. Robbie was an excellent guide, his commentary was interesting and funny and his enthusiasm for the island and for the tours was evident. It was good to learn about the Madeiran way of life. He was very knowledgeable on all the plants and crops and made sure he pointed them out. I appreciated his suggestions for short walks and places to eat. It was one of the best tours I’ve been on, I highly recommend it and I hope to do the East side tour next visit.
