After a chance recommendation we decided to take the motor bike and sidecar tour of Madeira. Neither of us had been on a motorbike or sidecar so we were nervously excited before hand. From the moment we booked our tour to meeting Filipe face to face we were sure we were in for a great experience. We were right! Fillipes knowledge of Madeira is second to none and we had a wonderful day. If you fancy exploring the Island in a unique way we definitely recommend you take the tour.

Brilliant day out with Nuno , who was kind , polite,considerate and very knowledgable. Arrived on time and nothing was rushed , just as we like it. Nuno also takes photographs as you go and you then get them emailed to you, brilliant idea. Absolutely brilliant way of seeing more of the island than you would on a bus. We will definitely be booking again if we’re fortunate enough to be back next year. Don’t hesitate to book, you won’t be disappointed. Merry Christmas to you all and thank you for such a memorable day.

Nothing like we expected. What a fantastic day it is definitely in the top 3 all time trips we have ever taken and one we will be going on again. Filipe arrived early for our day out, very cheerful, also the boss (unless his wife is around). As we have been going to Madeira for 15 years we have been on most of the trips so we asked Filipe to take us to the places Tours couldn't get to and places we could meet the local people, and that is what we got. I ended up in the sidecar for the day (I couldn't get my wife off the pillion seat), very comfortable and it was great for doing the video. If you have a selfie stick you can set it to go just above the wind screen on the sidecar. We covered at lot of the Island in a nice steady ride. Ladies don't have your hair done before you go on this trip, you have to wear a helmet and if you hear strange voices, that is the intercom system in the helmets not the effects from the night before. It is difficult to start naming places as to most people new to Madeira they will mean nothing also this is not a set in stone tour it is tailored to what you want see ie you spend as much time as you want at a place. The experience of being out, riding along in the open air was brilliant. So if your going to have a trip while on the lovely island I honestly recommend this one.

Booked a 3 hour tour and loved it so much we booked the full day tour a couple of days later - that says it all! Filipe was our fantastic guide - funny, professional, a great and careful driver, so knowledgeable about the island and best of all, flexible to what we wanted to see and when we wanted to stop. Chatting to us through the helmets when we were riding along. This tour takes you to places you couldn't get to on a tour bus and gives you so much more time and flexibility than any other type of organised trip. We would thoroughly recommend.

We did a Sidecar tour of Madeira with Madeira Sidecar Tours. We took a full day tour of the island. It was an excellent, unusual and fun way to see the island. Being a couple in our mid to late sixties we had some doubts about the amount of time on the bike even though we had both been motorcyclists in the past. It was not a problem. Getting on and off was easy and we felt comfortable and safe at all times. Filipe was an excellent driver and guide and tailored the tour to our interests. Apart from being knowledgeable, polite and courteous he was good company. The helmets were fitted with radio microphones so we could communicate at all times. His English was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. It was like doing the tour with a close friend.

We had a wonderful tour with Filipe on the East side of Madeira. We had a turn in the side car and the back of the motor bike. We felt perfectly safe and Filipe was caring and interesting. He took us to some great places and sent us some photos. Excellent day. Excellent service. Would do it all again.

Wow!!! what an amazing day, which we will never forget. The whole day was brilliant from beginning to end and our driver NuNu was an absolute pleasure to be with. He made the day very special and took us on a tour of the West side of the island which was magical and a great deal of fun. This is a fantastic way to see the island in all its wonderful glory and with very safe and experienced drivers. We highly recommend this trip and what to say a great big thank you for a wonderful, unforgettable and fun day.
