Terrible ! He announced "tons of tips" ... All I got was:" Pleaaaaaase be prepared ! Have a plan B / a guide. " What kind of tip is that? Get a guide ! And much too much time showing us his face instead of the panoramic views.

We all make mistakes bud, if you’ve made as many videos as I have, sometimes one doesn’t quite come out the way you want it. If you don’t think getting a tour guide to avoid bad weather in the winter is a decent tip, then I apologise my friend, but that’s how so many of us here make a living. With regards to your tips, I’ve since remade a video with the same title if I’m not mistaken, about the weather in the winter, with more elaboration. There’s also other videos with all sorts of free guidance for you, as well as plenty panoramic views for you 🤠 One last thing, you’ll get much further on this island by being a bit nicer ;) luckily us island folk aren’t usually as stressed as some of our visitors 😂 enjoy Madeira !!

Oh wow!! Four years on, no one will probably notice this comment but... So much fun to see Jeff, Lisa (from Free Walking Tours Funchal) and the folks so many years ago. We did a tours with Lisa last year (September 2023) and her tour was great!! I can't imagine there's any poncha that isn't "the greatest in the world" to use Jeff's phrase. I bet what Jeff came up with that day was delish! So fun to look back on these videos. And even more wonderful to know that you all continue your work to promote many of the lovely sites and experiences Madeira has to offer, and to help folks recognize how prescious - and sometimes fragile - all this can be. Thank you all for your work!

Could make a video that describes the current life for locals on Madeira island ? Their common difficulties cost of living housing market prices. As more i try to know and understand Madeira the more it looks like wonderful place to live but it is a nice place when you have money but for local it is probably becoming very difficult due to so much foreigners coming the live on the island.

Hi Dimitri, I think that is a topic that perhaps would generate too much unpopular opinion. I am a positive guy and I don’t want to be looking for negative things. I prefer to celebrate than to complain. Life is getting more expensive everywhere, I’m sure where you live house prices have gone up yes? Everywhere is getting expensive my friend, the only difference is that now we have opportunity, years ago my family left Madeira because there was not enough money or food. Now you have tourism and there is work and new opportunities, I prefer to see the opportunities. There are many great videos coming to this channel, but this kind of topic I think I am staying away from my friend I’m sorry, I hope you stick around 🙏 have a great weekend 🤠

Interesting set up they have there. Also, there is no methenol in a sugar wash (there's no pectin) so the distiller's assumption that "you can go blind" is totally wrong. He also believes that methenol is from copper, which makes no sense at all.

Book an excursion!!! It's a mountain island, no space for big parkings and for every tourist and their car. Book an excursion. Did you see the big bus? Designated parking. Plus the guides will let you know lots of little extra info. Seriously, with so many tourists in these last few years, the better option is to join a group. Some paths are less sought after, and for those you can go solo. But do not stray from the path. And inform someone of where you will be.

Thanks for cobbling together this,Jeff. Some really interesting places, though that water under the airport looks scary. Never used the cable car but I’ve heard Garajau is great for diving (maybe not beach). Your trip to Canical brings up the point that, though it is one of the island’s most important towns, there are very few videos about it on KZfaq. Thanks again and see you soon.
