You made a good point about the difficulty when renting a car if the trail is not a loop around. Are taxis readily available? I have heard mixed reviews about this.

Are the flows still good in April for this hike? Awesome capture!

Your channel is very varied and informative - excellent

Muito bom mesmo! 👏

Your videos are my mental health break😀

Thank you so much for this Jeff & André & great to have you back! This was truly informative & will be useful for many. Can't wait to see you later in the year Jeff for another tour! Have a great week my friend & all the best to Elisa & Adele 🤗

Are you from SA? We are coming to Madeira in May 2025 for our Honeymoon.

It pains me so much I couldn't visit. Maybe next time or I'll order a bottle through a friend. Till then I have to satisfy myself with a bottle of aguardente from Engenho da Calheta and I tell you guys: it's a really smelly flavorbomb. I can't even imagine how Reizinhos rum must taste like if that's the quality of cheap industrial madeiran rum.

Thank you. It's no joke. Especially the parking garages.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Been to barbusano this past Saturday. Utterly disgusted at 20 euros per person. Wines are below entry level. The rosé looks like Kool aid/drink o pop. The SA Winelands have world-class wines for so much cheaper.

What a disappointment. Watched this video. Couldn't wait to go there. I'm from South Africa Cape Town. Studied up to diploma in wine and have been making wine since 2015 as a garagiste wine maker. Barbusana wine are of such bad quality. Very dissapointed. 20 euros is a rip off, in the Cape Town Winelands you pay less than half of that for world glass wines. What a waste of time, Gina who served us was knowledgeable and great. The other 2 staff members useless. Cape Town South Africa. 🇿🇦🇵🇹🇨🇺🍷🦓🥂

EXCELLENT PRESENTATION. Thank you!

There was a Presbyterian chapel in Machico too. Just noting that the Madeiran refugees came to the then British Caribbean (not Dutch). 😀

Madeirans visited Illinois in 1999 for the 150th anniversary of the Jacksonville churches and probably other times. You can ask Jacinto Cláudio Baptista de Gouveia, the President of the Associação Robert Reid Kalley in Funchal. The physical building of the Madeiran church in Port-of-Spain in Trinidad is older than the one in Funchal. Not all of the Madeiran refugees left Trinidad - hundreds stayed right here (e.g., the family of Sir Sam Mendes). Those who went to the US and set up Trinidad School there in Jacksonville named it in honour of and in tribute to Trinidad as their first place of refuge. Trinidad promoted freedom of worship, and was the first place to welcome Portuguese Protestant refugees and the first place where Portuguese was used in Protestant worship outside of Portugal. It was not that conditions were that bad (otherwise they would not have given the Sunday School that name). It was primarily that the USA was Protestant and promised lands and more, plus Trinidad was also Catholic, and more and more Catholic Portuguese were coming to Trinidad. The Kalley churches in Brazil are also alive and well. You can also check out Ferreira Fernandes' RTP documentary and book called 'Madeirenses Errantes' and Katherine Vaz's novel "Above the Salt" and a huge reading list on the Madeira Exiles and Portuguese of the West Indies websites and Facebook pages.

Yo Jeff, you’re such a cool dude! We’re totally gonna book a guided tour with ya. Catch ya soon 😍

I'm sure I saw you jogging past Reids yesterday, Monday, 13 Jan 25 🤔 Happy New Year 🎉

I was there 🙃😉. Very cool. Best regards from an azorean brother. 😋🙃🙂

Great video, but difficult to understand where the restaurants are and the name of them. Gave up watching because had to keep on googling rewinding and guessing where you were talking about. Apologies

Accidentally came across your video. Loved it! Coming in May 2025 and looking for tours with awesome guides and I think I found you! Want to do sunrise tours where I don't need to rent a caro or worry about wrong routes etc. How do I contact you?

🤩 beautiful 👌

My grandfather was Portuguese we live in Massachusetts

Please come to Hawaii and do a video on the Portuguese community here.

How can I find some nice Funchal rooftops?

and what about the local pissing off tourist ?

Thank you ! Amazing Video 🎉

Next time chill the ice wine and have it with a slice of dark chocolate cake.

Bora, traz os estrangeiros todos para a Madeira para a tornar mais cara para os locais. Turismo sim senhor, agora isto já me parece demais... dificultas a vida aos outros mas como ganhas com isso a tua preocupação é nenhuma...

The music competes with the story giving me a headache trying to focus on your words

Interesting

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Madeira!

Que vídeo fantástico!! Or should I say what an awesome video!? I have no idea, you tell me. Either way I cannot speak your language, as I'm a Brazilian man, we do speak different languages and I learned this the hard (and funny) way last time I spent some time on a road trip in Northern Portugal, the land of my grandmother. Ok, espero que você (opa, desculpe) entenda bem brasileiro. 🙂 Muito obrigado pelas dicas, estou compartilhando com minha esposa (que também te segue e eu nem sabia, isso é complicado) e ficou uma dúvida: será que a poncha é mais "punchy" do que a caipirinha brasileira, com limão e cachaça? Ou pelo menos a caipirinha que EU faço.... toma aqui, cai ali... brincadeira, você (epa!) só cai um pouco mais tarde. Se tudo correr bem, estaremos em Madeira em meados de maio de 2025. A esposa quer fazer road trip mas vou dar uma pressionada para ela aceitar um tour com vocês - assim vou poder tomar uma poncha sem receio. Ah, sim: gostaria de saber onde posso e, principalmente, onde NÃO posso voar drones. Tenho um DJI Mini 3 registrado, com seguro, tudo aquilo, e gosto de respeitar as leis. Onde consigo informação sobre as leis locais para drones? Agradeceria imensamente se pudesse dar essa dica para eu preparar-me desde já. Muito obrigado pelo conteúdo bem humorado (lembra-me do meu tio-avô português, meu Tio Augusto, que fazia piada de tudo) e pelas dicas de ouro. Anotadas. Cá despede-se um brasileiro que vive em uma cidade criada em função do encanto do vosso D Pedro IV pela nossa região, cá conhecido como D Pedro I. Aqui também temos as quatro estações do ano em um só dia em uma região montanhosa a 850 metros - só não temos mar. Um abraço e, quem sabe, até nos vermos.

Thanks for the video and all the tips, you seems to be very experienced in camping! Question on simplifica website, in case if i would like to stay overnight from (for example) Jan 10 till Jan 11, what day should I book at simplifica? Jan 10? I booked Jan 10 and got the permit from Jan 10, 00:00 till 23:59. Is it correct or idea is to book both days? Thanks!

Adele is here, wonderful news. Congratulations. Merry Christmas 🎄🧑‍🎄

Hi. Did your grandparents have a café in Elspark? Regards from the Netherlands.

We just arrived on Tuesday night from Paisley Ontario Canada. Funchal is beautiful this is what I call Christmas

Play Fado music!

I am from Moldova. I recently returned from Funchal and thank you, I enjoyed watching this video. Madeira is extraordinary. I will definitely return to the island. By the way, I think I saw you on Sunday morning, December 8th, near the Estrada Monumental.

Merry Christmas to all the wonderful "Hit the Road" staff! Enjoy this special time with family and friends! Big congratulations for Adele's arrival! 🎉💜🎊 very special Xmas for Jeff and Elisa indeed! Madeira looks fantastic dressed up in Xmas lights! 😍 Look forward to visiting this paradise island in April. Wouldn't dare missing your tour, of course! 😉🚙🙂 Best wishes for 2025!..... from cold, not so sunny UK! 🇬🇧

A flight to Madeira is planned for the end of March. Having already been to Tenerife and Mallorca, I am looking forward to what Madeira has to offer. The main thing is good emotions, the right people around you and a good time. Your videos are great. Greetings from Latvia and have a nice day! :)

😎i will be in Madeira in 3 days
