Fantastic experience with the driver/guide Nelson. He made the tour in 3 languages (English, French and Portuguese). We had a spectacular day, we visited all the points we wanted to see. The open ceiling ride was simply spectacular and the driving with a lot of adrenaline. I recommend and would reserve again. Thank you!
We had a super day. We’ve learnt so much about Madeira, its history, geography and all sorts of interesting information. Vasco was an excellent and fun guide and also a very good driver. Would thoroughly recommend. Elizabeth
Amazing day out with Vasco! Great driving skills, brought us to a few lovely additional spots, and was always willing to share his knowledge of the island.
Fantastic day with a fantastic guide! Thanks to Silvio for this incredible excursion and for his in-depth knowledge and explanations on the island!
The guide would not divert from the stops, would not stop for additional photos. Started 45mins late ended 1.5hrs early made us stop for lunch despite the group of 8 requesting not to stop. The forest is not a traditional forest and not worth stopping. Not my usual experience with Viator tours, the driver was driving very close to edge of mountains honking his horn, it was terrifying. Very limited knowledge of island, could not hear what he did say, the jeep was cramped for 8 adults Overall would not recommend this tour
Dear Customer, We take all feedback seriously; however, we must clarify that your review does not accurately reflect what occurred during the tour. Our guide, Matheus, followed the itinerary exactly as described for the Porto Moniz, Seixal and Fanal Forest experience, completing all scheduled stops. Your group arrived late to the designated pick-up point, and despite this, our guide waited to ensure you could still participate. During the tour, you requested stops on the main road for photos. For safety reasons, this is strictly not permitted, and our guide correctly explained this in order to protect all passengers. Regarding the lunch break, this is a standard and clearly communicated stop within the tour. Guests are free to use this time as they wish. In your case, your group chose to stay, have drinks, and our guide waited for everyone before continuing the tour. The tour duration was conducted in line with operational planning and normal timing, taking into account logistics and group coordination throughout the day. We must also address a serious point: during the experience, your group indicated that if a refund was not provided, a negative review would be posted. Despite this, we chose not to issue a refund, as we stand fully behind the quality of the service delivered and the professionalism of our team. We consistently receive excellent feedback for this tour and for our guides, including Matheus, and we have internal records from the day that reflect a very different experience from the one described. We regret that your expectations were not met, but we firmly stand by the service provided. Kind regards, True Spirit Team
We have just spent a brilliant 8 hrs on a jeep trip around the island of Madeira led by a brilliant funny and knowledgeable guide called Tony. We saw so many brilliant spots and you are never in the car more than 20-30 mins at a time - so loads of chances to stretch your legs and have a wee stop! Also a lovely lunch stop at the restaurant Jungle Rain that has a great set menu for 20 euros. A fantastic way to see the island and on roads and tracks I’d never dare take a hire car!!
Fantastic trip despite the weather. Alan was the best trip guide. Travelled with a great group. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip, even though the forest bit was very wet and cold. (But can't help the weather). The off road bit was thrilling.
Great tour. In addition to visiting nice places, our guide (Tony) was really awesome and made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Excellent and entertaining guide................................................................................................
The best tour in Madeira! Our tour guide Diogo was amazing and took us around all of the best sights. The off road experience was the best. Truly a amazing island and a must do when you visit
