Without doubt the best mountain bike business I've had the pleasure of working with, top quality rental bikes, shuttles and most importantly great guides and world class trails! Renato and Rui took good care of us out on the trails and made sure we got to see the best Madeira has to offer. I would 100% recommend Freeride to anyone and hope to get back again soon, smiles for miles and the guides even got these awesome pictures ️ thanks @freeridemadeira

Amazing day riding with Freeride Madeira. I was paired up with a group of similar riders and our guide Rui made a lot of effort to find the right trails for the group. We packed in loads of runs, went for a great lunch, and Rui took some brilliant pictures! I rented a Scott Ransom which was in excellent working order, brakes and suspension were all spot on, flat pedals were DMR V12s and grips were in good condition. Highly recommended!

Incredible tours and lovely team. We loved the 3 days we did with Freeride in the west and east. Also very competent considering gear. Keep up the great work guys!

Freeride maderia has offered some of the best riding experiences I've ever had. Our guide throughout our 5 day ride was Nuno, who was the most fun, polite and professional guide I've ever had, he consistently gave us the best trails on the island and gave us some laughs, I will definitely be coming back and hopefully soon!

Just come back from a week in Madeira. My wife and I did 3 enduro days with Freeride Madeira. I was super impressed with these guys. They have a really professional attitude, the rental bikes are excellent (fleet of extremely well maintained 2020 Scott ransoms). When you arrive the bikes are pre-loaded onto trailers (with brakes set up correctly to our preference that we'd specified over email) and the tour leaves on time. Each day the vans were improbably clean for an MTB company. Covid precautions were all taken seriously. One evening I mentioned that my brake pads felt like they needed replacing, the next day they were replaced. The guides (we had Renato for 1 day and Nuno for 2) are really excellent. Such charming guys, amazing riders of course, but most importantly had such a great attitude, (none of the \too cool for school\ vibe you see sometimes) and took us each day to the best spots given the weather. Whilst riding they explained all the features coming up and made sure everyone was comfortable which can be tough in a group of up to 7 with mixed ability. The riding was amazing, so varied, we hardly repeated a trail over the 3 days, explored different areas and there's still loads left to do. It's hard but pushed us just the right amount. I think the quality of the riding is largely down to Freeride Madeira, who take trail maintenance seriously. Also (and whilst this isn't within the control of Freeride Madeira), the other riders on the tours were super cool, with a friendly and supportive vibe in the bus and on the trails every day. We're already planning to return.

Great tour guide, had never tried mountain biking before, was with 2 people who had more experience/ confidence. Our guide gave me lots of tips and really helped me enjoy the experience

We had 2 days Bike rental and Enduro guided Tour. Fair prices and good bikes. Renato(Tour guide) showed us some trails of Madeira and EWS Stages. He always was patient and waited if we wanted to ride a feature again. He also explained different lines and some facts about vegetation and the trail network. The Tour were suited to our skills and we didnt have any stress by other group members that were faster. The Shuttle driver drove safe and didnt speed a lot(Not like in Finale Ligure ;)) He also was very keen helping to put the bikes back on the rack after a trail. We loved \Mushrooms\ and \Rat Boy\. Full recommendation!

Good bikes and knowledge of the trails. The combination of a guide and a driver work well. Make sure you clearly understand the technical requirements of the course. It would be a great addition to your website if you could add a course description for each of the provided tours, and a guideline for the technical and physical aptitude requirements.
