East Madeira Guided Tour with Balcões Levada Walk

1.East Madeira Guided Tour with Balcões Levada Walk

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 76 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $38Our pick

Spend about seven hours touring East Madeira in a small group of up to 16. Visit Pico do Areeiro, walk to Balcões, see Santana’s thatched homes, taste sugarcane rum in Porto da Cruz, and finish at Ponta do Rosto with guides such as Diogo, Joanna, Will, or Tony.

“I had the best day on this tour with Diogo as our amazing and hilarious guide. He made this day so much fun with so many laughs. We learned a lot about the island, met some amazing new friends, enjoyed a fantastic local lunch (followed by a rum and poncha tasting), and took in countless, gorgeous views. I couldn't recommend this experience more highly to see some of Madeira's most beautiful and unique sights. Thank you, Bearded Madeira, for an incredible day! I can't wait to come back.”
