Priced per group; lunch and the Cabo Girão entry are paid on the spot. 5 from 72 reviews at €385 per group/vehicle. ## Overview My full-day tour around the center of the island was designed for people who would like to feel the “Island daily life” and see the REAL Madeira while immersing in the local culture.
