We like to think of ourselves as a little bit "out of the box"

I started Hit the Road Tours in August of 2012 with my Land Rover, by myself. I very soon discovered what the “formula” was for a successful tour and got to work on growing my reputation.

After 2 years and many many tours, we were listed as the 2nd best tour company in Madeira according to Tripadvisor. My clients were all looking for genuine experiences and to get away from the beaten path.

I tailored every single tour, wasn´t afraid to try something new and different and always made sure to leave my clients better off than when I found them.

We´re a small company with big dreams and big hearts.

Meet The Team

Jeff Owner and Guide

I grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa, in a Portuguese family. As a proud Portuguese South African, I came back to Madeira to reconnect with my roots and couldn´t be happier than I am now.

I absolutely love my job, my team and my beautiful island.
I´m generally a positive thinker, a hard worker and a big dreamer and in my free time, I love playing the drums!

Hugo 4x4 Guide

Hugo is our life-experienced 4×4 guide.

Definitely the funniest of the group, his energy is contagious and his playful outlook on life is a breath of fresh air. Hugo will make you laugh, give you great advice and maybe even make fun of you a little bit. 😉

He’s also an ex footballer and in better shape than most people 20 years younger than him.

Elisa PR and HR

Elisa is the foundation of our working business. She handles her fair share of work in the back office making sure everything is flowing, handles all documentation, emails, customers, drivers, graphic design, social media and more!

Elisa will be your contact once you book a tour, consider her the best concierge in the world 😉

Fernando 4x4 Guide

There’s no school like the old school and Fernando is Old School! A former accountant and banana farmer in his free time, Fernando got into the 4×4 tour business to have a good time and oh how glad we are he did!

A tour with Fernando is a good laugh!

Andre Videographer

Andre has been involved with our hit YouTube Vlog since January 2020. We don’t know anyone better than him, sorry friends. He’s got one hell of a career waiting for him and it’s an absolute pleasure working with his genius.
