10 THINGS you should NEVER DO in Madeira!

Using term like “what pisses you off” “annoy the locals” then coming up with a list of minor inconvenience’s makes it sound like the people of Madeira resent tourists. I have just returned from there, and I found the locals to be very hospitable and great to be around. It’s simple, when you visit be respectful and you will have a great time in Madeira.

I'm from The Canary Islands, Madeira reminds us of our islands, that's why we are comfortable exploring the island and hiking. I highly recommend tourists learn some Portuguese, at least several sentences "Pode trazer a conta? Por favor" , "May I have the bill? Please"

Oh man this one was super duper helpful to me and my wife who have never been to Madeira but planning on coming next year. I've said it before and I'll say it again that after watching so many YouTube videos and blogs about Madeira from so many people you really have the very best one that really packs a ton of excellent and useful information into each video. We really loved the one about the rooftop bars there so much!

What annoys tourists? Getting ripped off in the farmers market. Avoid.

Funchal looking great in the sunshine!
Can't wait to return.

Great video Jeff! Thinking of comming again next year! You will be hearing from us before that time 😊 grtz Stefan & Kimberly

I was in Madeira the day after the flower festival and saw the floats with flowers - very beautiful. Thanks to you I knew that I needed cash and it needed to be Euros. I got to try poncha which was good. I hope I can return and spend more time on this beautiful island!

Thanks so much for this. As a Canadian, I don't like upsetting the locals when I enjoy their country

It's just ridiculous to hear that tourists should somehow be very considerate towards the locals. Madeira invites us through massive advertising to come and admire its nature and enjoy the weather. We can fly to other places, equally beautiful. But you invite us. You survive because we come to you. Guys, you are very sensitive, and it's quite characteristic of you. I met so many people on the island who don't even try to hide their irritability, especially in the service industry: bus drivers, waiters, sellers, cashiers etc. And now there's a video about how we should not annoy the locals... Come on...!

Fun video as usual!

Excellent advice Jeff‼️

It’s ironic how the lady from Barreirinha is annoyed by slow people because their service is also terribly slow. Still one of my favorite places in Funchal. ❤

I was in Madeira last year from Canada beautiful place. I wish I had the apporunity to say a quick hello.

I am guilty of not knowing how to fill up my vehicle at the petrol station. Thankfully an annoyed local helped me. As a tourist, one thing that annoyed me about Madeira was that it seemed like 95% of the restaurants had the same menus. It was a game to find the few that were different.

Can't wait to come to maderia ❤

Awesome video ❤❤❤❤

ironic how speaking about slow people, But when you go to a cafe in madeira or any shops in madeira the majority of workers and the slowest they can be. sometimes they even see us just standing there waiting to be served and yet they take their time to even acknowledge us & yes im from madeira.

Jeff! U r the best!!!

This is really going to madeira next week

I've been driving in Madeira for half a year, but there is one specific roundabout which always gets me. When coming from the west at VR 1 exit 8 to Sao Martinho there are two parallel streets entering the roundabout. You can't just wait till there is no traffic, because people behind you will get nervous, so you have to enter on the outer lane. If you want to go straight you have to change to the inner lane while you are already inside the roundabout. My wife and I tried to find the perfect strategy there but it's nerve wracking every single time. 😂
