The people and the portal

One local team. Two distinct services.

Madeira Tour Planner helps you choose between two local services run by David & Cátia: Madeira Private Tours for private sightseeing with local guides, and Madeira Private Driver for custom driver days and transport arrangements. Explore your options here, then contact the right team directly.

One local team. Two service choices.

Meet the people
who know the island.

David & Cátia are a local Madeira couple, born and raised on the island. They are the people behind Madeira Private Tours and Madeira Private Driver, bringing local knowledge of the roads, viewpoints, villages and changing mountain weather.

The brands have different service focuses. Madeira Tour Planner explains those choices; it is not a third tour company or an independent ranking of operators.

What this portal is — and is not

Madeira Tour Planner is a useful starting point for planning a Madeira trip and choosing between these two local services. It explains the different emphasis of each, offers itinerary ideas and directs you to the appropriate official website or WhatsApp enquiry.

It is not an impartial directory of all Madeira operators, an independent ranking website, or a third tour company. It does not sell itineraries, collect payments or confirm bookings.

Private sightseeing with local guiding

Madeira Private Tours focuses on private sightseeing with local guides, flexible experiences and electric Mercedes vehicles. Madeira Highlights, West Madeira, East Madeira and sunrise experiences are starting points for discussing your interests and pace.

A custom day with a local driver

Madeira Private Driver focuses on a private vehicle and local driver for a custom day, with help ordering your chosen places into a realistic route. It also handles cruise-day and selected hiking-transfer enquiries. Hiking transfers are transport, not guided hikes.
