Small Roads. Big Stories. True Madeira.
At Madeira Sidecar Tours, our story began in 2013 with a simple idea: to show people a different side of Madeira. Since then, we have turned that idea into a unique way to experience the island — one that takes you beyond the usual tourist routes and closer to the roads, landscapes, villages and stories that make Madeira truly special.
A Madeira sidecar tour is not just another way of sightseeing. It is about feeling the fresh mountain air, taking in the Atlantic views, discovering scenic roads and enjoying the freedom of travelling in the open air. From the moment you get on the sidecar, the journey becomes part of the experience.
From dramatic mountain roads and lush valleys to traditional villages and spectacular coastal viewpoints, a sidecar gives you an open and immersive view of Madeira. There are no windows between you and the landscape — just the road ahead, the scenery around you and the freedom to enjoy every moment.
Our vintage sidecars bring together adventure, comfort and character. With an experienced local driver at the wheel, you can relax and enjoy the ride while we take care of the road. Whether you are looking for a romantic experience, a memorable day with family or a different adventure with friends, every tour is designed to make your time in Madeira special.
Madeira is more than beautiful scenery. It is the people, traditions, history and vunexpected moments you discover along the way. Our local guides share their knowledge and stories as you explore the island, making every journey personal and authentic.
We don’t just take you around Madeira — we invite you to experience it.
