East tour with Romero October 2026
Romero was an excellent informative guide. His knowledge of Madeira Island and its customs was very interesting. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company and will book another tour on our next visit to Madeira. Thank you Romero.

Fantastic trip of an amazing island
We had a great time exploring the East side of the island with the fantastic guide Romero. He was warm, attentive and very knowledgeable. This was unbeatable value for money and I would highly recommend this to anyone else.

All three tours❤️
We originally booked two tours with Madeira Surreal, but ended up going on all three! It was such a memorable experience. Romero felt like a part of our group from the very beginning. It honestly felt like meeting an old friend who was taking us around his home country and showing us all the special places he knows and loves. The beauty, nature and breathtaking landscapes of Madeira are truly hard to put into words. It’s something you really have to experience for yourself. I cannot recommend Madeira Surreal and Romero enough. Without Romero, the experience would have been completely different. He genuinely cared about how we were feeling, what we thought, and making sure that each tour was exactly what we wanted and that we got the most out of every single day. Thank you, Romero, for three absolutely amazing days and for making our time in Madeira so special! ❤️

Madeira Surreal East Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does Madeira Surreal East Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 Madeira Surreal East Tour 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 Madeira Surreal East Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 71 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 Madeira Surreal East Tour?
+
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 Madeira Surreal East Tour 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 Madeira Surreal East Tour?
+
Around 25 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 Madeira Surreal East Tour 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, Madeira 4x4 Jeep Safari : Porto Moniz, Lava Pools & Fanal Forest. 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.
