Official and certified mountain guide in Madeira

My name is Ludovic. I was born in France, with Portuguese origins, where I followed all my school education. It is worn by an adventurous soul that I discovered Europe through multiple trips to finally, after a big crush, put my suitcases in Madeira.
Now, as an experienced official mountain guide and representative of the french editor Editions du Petit Futé, responsible for updating the Madeira guide book, I use my in-depth knowledge of the field and its infrastructures to offer you an intimate program called full island tour, which is defined by a cultural and historical discovery, accessible to all treks which allow us to go where the vehicle can't reach, and also by culinary experiences that will highlight the richness of the local gastronomic heritage.

Collaboration Petit Futé

A partnership which began in 2005 with the mission of updating several Portuguese-speaking titles and which focused exclusively on Madeira when it became my place of residence. The acquired knowledge of infrastructures (hotels, restaurants, shops and smart addresses of all kinds) and my in-depth geographical knowledge resulting from my training as a mountain guide allow me to become a creator of trips and to offer hiking, gastronomy or tailor made journeys.

Mercedes Vito

The vehicle used for your holiday week in Madeira is a recent Mercedes Vito. The excellent quality of construction and the increased power of its engine will help make road travel particularly comfortable. This vehicle is homologated to receive in its cockpit a total of 8 people and the driver.

Porto Santo

45 km north east of Madeira. History tells us that it was discovered in 1418 and Christopher Columbus lived there for two years.

Nicknamed the Golden Island because of its 9km long beach made of fine golden sand (with therapeutic virtues), it is bathed by the ocean which tones oscillate between emerald green and turquoise blue.

In this place with a moderate climate, the change of scenery is total. Here reigns tranquility and relaxation. A certain idea of well being.
