Great excursion through the East of the island with Diogo

We were very lucky to have Diogo as our guide and driver; the experience exceeded the expectations we had. It is clear that he likes his job and the island of Madeira. He did not stop explaining curiosities and making the paths as pleasant as possible. We did a very fun OffRoad route. Afterwards, he took us to walk for about 30 min along an old levada without people where we could stroll without rushing and enjoying all the nature. Without a doubt, if we could only do one excursion, we would repeat this one.

Poor communication of changes

We were looking forward to this tour, in particular visiting Pico Do Arierio which was the main attraction of the jeep tour. The company contacted us well in advance to arrange a time slot for when we would be picked up - great - however they didn't tell us that due to the Rally taking place across the island, that this jeep tour wouldn't be visiting Pico de Arierio or ANY of the peaks or high points of the island. We were only told of this at 8:45, pick up time on the morning of the jeep tour. This rally is famous and happens every year - dates are known months and months in advance - so I find it incomprehensible that the company couldn't at least have warned us about potential disruption on this day. Had we known of this, we would have arranged the tour for an earlier day in our holiday - instead, we are left with no time (before we leave) to organise a visit to the mountains, one of the main reasons we came to the island. Hugely disappointing for our entire family including the kids. Poor poor communication - and to top it off, the company hasn't even responded to my multiple attempts to contact them via email and messages. I can't fault the poor driver who did his best to fill the 7 hour trip time with other places around the island but it definitely leaves a bad impression that the main attraction could be seen as optional, and that the company doesn't have the decency to advise of entirely foreseeable issues in advance, instead just telling customers of major change at the point of pick up.

Operator response

Dear Customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely regret that the unforeseen road closures impacted your holiday expectations. We would like to clarify that while the annual Madeira Rally is a known event, the specific mountain road blockades implemented by local authorities on that morning differed from previous years and were communicated without prior notice to tour operators. Upon learning of these restrictions at pick-up time, our guide informed you and offered alternative options for the day, which were adapted into a full 7-hour tour with extra stops to ensure a great experience despite the circumstances beyond our control. Contrary to what was stated in your review, our team maintained active communication through the Viator booking portal and promptly agreed to your request for a partial refund, which was submitted after the tour. For this reason, we dont understand this unfair review. We always strive to deliver exceptional experiences and handle force majeure situations with transparency and fairness. We appreciate your recognition of our driver’s efforts, and we hope you were still able to enjoy the beauty of Madeira. Sincerely, True Spirit Management Team

Great trip

High energy adventure with our driver/guide, Nelson who was very enthusiastic and informative (loves go karting). Nelson took us on some exhilarating off road routes that were only accessible by jeep and his local knowledge. If you like nature and want to avoid the crowds then this tour is highly recommend

Do not miss the East Side

The East side of Madeira should not be missed. The walk through the beautiful woods was beautiful. A terrific fun filled day with Diago C! His clients were all ages and stages and he handled each one with grace and fun.

A fantastic way to experience Madeira by guide and car!

A fantastic way to experience Madeira by guide and car! I don’t think I’d found all these amazing places on my own, riding in an open-roofed jeep, which made the experience even better – especially during the off-road drive, when you could stand up and enjoy the spectacular views. The guide was very experienced, knowledgeable and explained everything in a clear and engaging way. I can highly recommend this excursion and would love to join a similar tour to discover more parts of Madeira.

Super journey through east Madeira

Our driver David picked us up promptly then another group of 4. David explained exactly what we'd be doing and did it with humour. The Pico first stop was spectacular but just the journey standing up in jeep as we whized past all the vegeation. David told us about the history of island and the rich plant life. Santana for lunch- we ate at restaurant we got dropped off at- Colmo- surprisingly good. We were never more than 20-25 minutes in the jeep at any one time. Fabulous day!

Excellent Jeep Tour

A hugely enjoyable full day visiting a variety of interesting places. Eight in the Jeep with rotation from front facing to rear benches managed by the excellent driver & commentator. The off road drive was great fun. The amount of time at each spot was just right. Overall a brilliant opportunity to see part of the island and highly recommend.
