Madeira Island Travel Forum

Ill be going to Madeira in Septemember with my boyfriend and I wanted to do a tour so that I can see as much of the island as possible.
Could someone please recommend what part of madeira is the nicest to see, im looking for picturesque/cultural. I need something to keep my boyfriend interested as hes not the biggest fan of culture, so Id like something I know we can both enjoy without me worrying hes bored.

I have found several such as full Day Tours, doing either
*West Tour
*East Tour
*Southwest Tour
*Northeast Tour

or Half Day Tours

*Nuns Valley
*Southeast Coast

Also are the jeep tours better that foot? Thanks for your help.

The West seems to be the most popular but both sides are very good. You may enjoy doing it by jeep as much of the tour is done 'off-road' Try this site for very good trips. www.mountainexpedition.pt

It has been a number of years since I visited Lisbon, so I cannot recommend the best tour. But I do recommend that you buy from the local craftspeople, whose charming folk art is both inexpensive and one-of-a-kind. Once the tour is over, these mementos will serve to remind you of your favorite places on the tour.

Madeira is very small. You can drive around the island in one long day - which of course is not the best way to see it.
I would not take a tour, but rent a car or take the public buses around Funchal and walk, walk, walk...
