    Travelled as a couple


    John was our tour guide. We have been to Madeira several times, but we still saw a couple of places today that we had not seen before. John was very friendly and informative. He stopped at a little traditional Madeiran restaurant. The beef skewers were really lovely. I definately would use lido tours again
