A brilliant day despite bad weather forecast
We had already done a tour with Mauro some time ago and were more than thrilled at the time. On 04.02.26 we were back at the start, ready for a new adventure on the beautiful island of Madeira. The weather forecast in the WeatherApp did not look good at first: Rain was announced. Skepticism spread, a cancellation briefly considered. But Mauro did not let it deter him: “We find the sun.” Our tour started in Funchal. As soon as we had left the airport behind us, the paper showed: blue skies, bright sun... and all day long. In addition to his expert knowledge, Mauro also has a real sense of choosing places that opened up new perspectives even for us as returning explorers. He led us to viewpoints, narrow streets and hidden places that were off the beaten track. Every stop was carefully thought out, every look a little miracle. Madeira presented itself at its best: Sea air, salty winds, the gentle sound of the waves on secluded stretches of coastline, and meanwhile even warmth in the sunshine that felt like a personal gift. We experienced an island in all its facets, green cliffs, winding villages, and a hospitality that made every moment special. Towards evening we returned to Funchal. The forecast had announced rain again, but the day remained weatherproof until we were back in town. However, this did not stop our joy: We had experienced a TOP day, full of surprises, unplanned beauty and the feeling that Mauro had once again given us a distinctive angle on Madeira. Thank you, Mauro, for this unforgettable day! We will definitely be back and look forward to finding you the sun again together.

Madeira Visit - Princess Cruises
I could not have met a more genuine and polite person - I was walking towards the cable car with my son and dad where I was about to spend €111 euros to go up to the botanical gardens and back. When I was approached by Mauro. Now we have all had the hard sell and immediately we just want to say No and move on. Well Mauro was the complete opposite - he approached, told me exactly what was on offer and how much he would charge. When I said I will have a think and chat with my family he did not persist and wished me a good day. So Mauro offered an island tour of Medeira where we would view 5 points of interest which included our planned botanical garden visit. The price was very fair and we felt it was value for money so we booked. We had an amazing day visiting Madeira and it was made so much more special by Mauro. His English is excellent, his approach to tourism is 100%. If you are ever in Madeira wether this be a day visit on a cruise ship or wether this be a holiday I highly recommend you get in touch with Mauro and take the tour. I will finish this review by saying a very big thank you to Mauro. You made my dad’s day, you assisted with his disabilities and nothing was to much trouble. 5* service

Taxi driver like no other - what a guy!
What a guy! What a day! We bumped in to Mauro by the cable car queue of monstrous size and he offered us a much better alternative to see some of the sights of beautiful Madeira from the comfort of his electric taxi. That afternoon we saw so much including Botanical Gardens, stunning viewpoints, watching the basket men hurtling down behind excited tourists in a wicker sofa, high points in the mountains, lunch in Fisherman's Village and finally back to Funchal by the market. All the time, Mauro waiting patiently for us to have the best of every stop. He was so good we booked Mauro for the full day and he didn't disappoint. He's such a considerate driver, so knowledgeable about his island, (no matter how stupid our questions were) and we saw more beauty in a day than we could have planned for ourselves. Again,he never rushed us and explained so much about everything we saw. Thanks Mauro, we highly HIGHLY recommend you and will see you when we return to Madeira.

Excellent experience
On our way to the hop on hop off bus we met Mauro and had a nice chat so we booked a Funchal tour to have a bit more of the town. What a lovely time and experience. So we decided to book a full day tour with him to visit a bit more of Madeira as we only had 4 days. We saw plenty of nice locations that people not usually get to see as well as more well known places like Porto Moniz or Sao Vicente. We will definitely recommend Mauro as an excellent guide and driver. Thank you for this wonderful time.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Tour of the West Zone of Madeira: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does Full Day Tour of the West Zone of Madeira cost?
+
Prices start at $212 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Funchal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Tour of the West Zone of Madeira take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Funchal is not rushed.
Is Full Day Tour of the West Zone of Madeira worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Funchal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Tour of the West Zone of Madeira?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Tour of the West Zone of Madeira suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour of the West Zone of Madeira?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Funchal can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Funchal and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Tour of the West Zone of Madeira start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Funchal within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Funchal?
+
On Outty we rank every Funchal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jeep Tour Amazing West to Natural Pools -Full-Day, Porto Moniz, Seixal, Fanal Forest, Cliff Skywalk in Open Roof 4X4, West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Funchal?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Funchal?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
