What to write to us about

A mistake or something that changed

A trail that closed, a new parking rule, a restaurant that is no longer worth the drive. Tell us which page and what you saw, and when. These messages are the most useful ones we get, and we check and fix the page as soon as we can.

A place we should know about

If you found somewhere in Madeira that deserves a mention, send it. We visit or check every place before it goes on the site.

You run a business in Madeira

Restaurants, tour operators and places to stay are welcome to write. We don't sell reviews, rankings or sponsored posts, so a place only appears in a guide because we think it is good. If we ever work with a local business directly, the page will say so.

What we can't help with

We aren't a travel agency, so we can't make, change or cancel bookings. For a car, a tour or a hotel you booked through a link on this site, contact the company you booked with. They hold your booking and can sort it out.

In an emergency in Madeira, call 112.

When you email us, we use your address only to reply. Our Privacy policy explains how long we keep messages.
