Would definitely recommend for the PR1 shuttle service. They were really communicative with almost instant replies to questions. Gave good information on where to pick up etc. Really well run. Good staff and vehicles too

May 31, 2026Top Service. Nur zu empfehlen. Ich hatte die Sonnenaufgangstour mit Weg PR1 vom Pico do Areeiro zum Pico Ruivo, aktuell nur im Einhahnverker benutzbar. Transfer hier gebucht und zusätzlich muss man selbst, für die Benutzung des Weges, vorab ein Ticket für 10,50€ über das offizielle SIMplifica-Portal buchen.Gar nicht so einfach, aber hat dann doch geklappt. Ich wurde pünktlichst an meinem Hotel in Funchal abgeholt, auf den Pico de Areeiro gebracht, dabei nochmal mit allen wichtigen Informationen versorgt, und hiet abgesetzt. Nach Sonnenaufgang und selbstständig durchgeführter Tour am vereinbarten Treffpunkt abgeholt und wieder ins Hotel gefahren. Super schelle Antworten auf alle Fragen. Perfekt organisiert👍😀

May 27, 2026Elizabeth was brilliant in guiding us about when to book the tickets ( by liaising with her contacts) for the PR1 Trail from Pico Areeirio to Pico Ruvio and we managed to get on the walk on the first day it opened for 2 years and what a treat we had - good weather and world class views. Radko our driver was spot on time both ends and fully explained all the aspects about the route and collection details. Well done Pico Transfers and thank you!

Een absolute aanrader ! We hadden geluk dat de PR1 route weer na 2 jaar volledig open was. De chauffeur (Ciro) was heel vriendelijk en vertelde ons tijdens de rit leuke dingen over het eiland. Ook de communicatie met Elisabeth was geweldig. Ze informeerde ons heel goed zodat we wisten waar we aan moesten denken. Alles was super geregeld.

May 2, 2026Booking and Transport team were excellent with clear communication on what to expect on the hiking trials. Pick-up from hotel stay and at drop off were all fine on the day.

September 4, 2025We decided to book with Pico transfers after looking at the alternatives. Our driver was very friendly and fun and we had a great time during the transfers. Got picked up at our hotel 5:30 on the minute. Great experience all in all

Thank you for organising a most enjoyable morning (watching the sunrise at Pico Do Areeiro then walking to Ribiera das Cales). Radko the driver was very friendly and efficient. The whole event ran very smoothly.

Excellent service. Driver was bang on time and drove us smoothly up and down the mountain and gave us useful guidance for the hikes. Absolutely recommend their service. Do note that the departure time window is (understandably) pretty narrow from the finish point, but you have plenty of time to make it at your own pace.

June 6, 2025Radko was very timely and friendly! We would highly recommend this company and Radko to anyone going to hike PR1 and PR3! He had a lot of great recommendations of places to check out in Madeira which added to our experience 10/10

I had the absolute pleasure of booking a sunrise tour to Pico do Arieiro with Pico Transfers Madeira, and it was (without exaggeration) truly one of the most magical experiences of my life!🌄🌅 Watching the sun rise above the clouds from the top of the mountains was breathtaking - words can't do it justice. Go and see it yourself! Tour had to be rescheduled due to bad weather conditions as mountain weather is often unpredictable, and the team of Pico Transfers Madeira truly sees the safety of guests as a highest priority. Elizabeth provided me the day before with very detailed information for the preparation. Our driver Radko was exceptional: incredibly friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about his work. He drove with such care and precision that I felt completely safe the entire time. His positive energy was contagious, and it was obvious that he genuinely loves what he does. This tour was unforgettable, and I can't recommend Pico Transfers Madeira highly enough. If you're in Madeira, this is a must-do experience! Thank you guys!❤️🔥

April 22, 2025The drivers were exactly on time for pick-up and drop-off. (Radko and Michael). Both very friendly and perky despite the early hours. Very good communication by WhatsApp before the trip as well 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

we had an absolutely outstanding experience doing the Pico do Arieiro sunrise hike and then the PR3 hike down the mountain since the pico to pico trail was closed. our driver, Michael, was fabulous - arrived bang on time to pick us up and collect us and was lovely and chatty making everyone feel welcome. seeing the sunrise from this point and doing even the small part of the pico walk that was open has to be one of the best experiences of my life. i would hiiiiighly recommend it to anyone and would recommend booking with pico transfers - all information was communicated promptly and comprehensively by whatsapp and everything was so smooth on the day. i would love to return one day to do the full pico to pico hike 😍 absolutely do this hike!

August 22, 2024⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an incredible experience with Pico Transfers, Carlos was absolutely amazing. From the start, their great communication ensured everything went smoothly. He was punctual with our pick-up and kept us engaged with interesting information about the islands during the ride. Carlos described exactly what to expect during our hike, making us feel well-prepared and comfortable. The 30 minute ride flew by, thanks to his friendly and knowledgeable demeanor. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience and hike! Weather was just great☀️ Our driver Radko was amazing too! He’s so funny and transfer was so smooth and I didn’t even feel sick at all as I normally would in the bus and especially on crazy roads like in Madeira😅 so definitely recommend them! And the price was very reasonable too. I will be back for sure!

August 22, 2024Es war alles in allem ein sehr guter Service, die Fahrt war sehr angenehm, da der Fahrer sich sehr Mühe geben hat, um die vielen Kurven nicht zu schnell zu fahren. Also immer ein angenehmes Tempo. Nach unserer Reise hat der Fahrer auf dem Rückweg uns noch die kleinen Reetdachhäuser gezeigt.
Lara Schäfer
August 14, 2024Very good drive with Radko our driver. He explained everything to us and gave us tips for the hike. We would book again next time.

August 14, 2024Had a great experience using Pico transfers for getting to the sunrise Pico to Pico hike! Picked us up at our airbnb and dropped us off there in the afternoon. They communicated well with us for directions the night before, and were helpful when another person (not part of my group) was delayed getting down from the hike! Our driver was Michael, and he also gave us some lovely recommendations and a bit of a tour as we drove back from the hike.
