The best way hands down to learn about this amazing island is to book the full day tour with Antonio. He is so knowledgeable and professional. It only took until lunch time, to realize that we wanted to extend our time with him, so we scheduled 2 more days of tours that he customized listening to our interests. Bonuses: photography tips that he shares along the way, his fantastic stories, the company van is comfortable and luxurious, lunch at local places, many recommendations. We feel like we made a true friend on the island. I highly recommend any tour with Antonio.

If you looking for a professional service to drive and guide you through this beautiful country, the owner of Windland Tours, Goncalo Oliveira, is your man! We hired Goncalo for four days to drive us from western Spain to Porto, Fatima, Coimba and Lisbon. Goncalo is the consummate professional (punctual, courteous,) an excellent driver, nearly fluent English and has a deep knowledge of the history and culture of the Portuguese people which he shared with us on our daily walking tours of each city. He also knows the best restaurants and interesting neighborhoods not always on the typical tourist itinerary. We can't thank Goncalo enough for making this trip one of the best vacations we have had. We hope to return in the future, and our first call will be to Goncalo to arrange the next trip!

We booked two island tours with Diogo, one on the East side and one on the West side of the island. Diogo is a very easy going and relaxed person, who is never in a hurry and makes you feel there is all the time in the world to enjoy the fantastic scenery of Madeira. He takes you to places which are off the beaten track and knows some fantastic restaurants to have lunch. He is very knowledgeable and always in a good mood!

We were lost in Lissabon until we found the most amazing tour guide Lino Ribeiro. He made our day because of his enthusiasm, knowledge and jokes. We couldn't discover Lissabon in a better way than we did with Lino! He spoke perfect english and showed us places we didn't even know it existed. We learned so much from him and with the tuktuk we where able to see the whole town in one day! I definitely recommend a tuktuk tour with Lino if you want the best impression of Lissabon in one day. Hope to come back someday! Lots of love, a grateful dutch family.

I highly recommend the "Taste of Lisboa Food Tours" - Filipa went out of her way to research local places to shop and eat to fit my clean Keto-diet (Gluten/Dairy Free, Grass Feed/Grass Finished eats, and pasture-raised poultry), the farmers markets were amazing! I know now where to go grab a coffee and lunch and shop. Thanks Filipa!

Therefore, we always seek in our company to combine the beautiful history of the University of Coimbra with the current and its customs that still permeate our institution.

Fabulous boat trip with Louis. We went to the marina to book a boat trip, the 1st place we looked at said they could fit us in that day and seemed quite pushy, we walked further along and spoke to Anja at Bluefleet, she said the see was too rough to do trips that day and you wouldn’t be able to go into the caves on a boat, she advised waiting a couple of days for the seas to calm. So pleased we waited, we had a wonderful trip and Louis was an expert at negotiating the tricky caves and gave us some wonderful memories and beautiful scenery. 100 % recommended Bluefleet.
