About Lido Tours
Lido Tours is one of Madeira's oldest and most established tour operators, running island tours, levada walks, and boat trips from their shops in Funchal since 1996. As a government-bonded and licensed travel agent, they offer the kind of financial protection and regulatory compliance that distinguishes professional operators from informal guides.
Their levada and mountain walk programme is the centrepiece, covering routes from easy family-friendly strolls along the Levada dos Tornos to challenging full-day hikes through the Laurisilva forest and up to Pico do Arieiro. Full-day and half-day island tours by minibus visit highlights including Câmara de Lobos, Cabo Girão, the wicker village of Camacha, and the north coast villages of São Vicente and Porto Moniz. Boat trips round out the offering, with whale watching, catamaran cruises, and Desertas Islands excursions bookable through their shops.
With nearly three decades of operation and two convenient shop locations — the main branch at Estrada Monumental near the Lido tourist zone and a downtown branch next to Funchal's Cathedral — Lido Tours has become a go-to booking point for visitors who want a curated mix of walking, sightseeing, and marine excursions without the hassle of researching individual operators.
