An exceptional day thanks to Micael!

We were a group of 8 adults (from 20 to 54 years old) and this 4x4 excursion will remain one of the best memories of our stay in Madeira. A huge thank you to Micael, our French-speaking guide, who was simply wonderful! Very kind, always smiling, funny, caring, and passionate about his island, he knew how to share his love of Madeira with us throughout the day. Thanks to him, we discovered incredible landscapes, authentic places, and breathtaking panoramas. His explanations were fascinating, his French was perfect, and the atmosphere he created in the group was exceptional. We loved this day. We really "loved" every moment! We laughed a lot, learned a huge amount, and created unforgettable memories. If you are looking for a 4x4 excursion in Madeira, look no further: choose True Spirit! And if you are lucky enough to have Micael as a guide, you will have an extraordinary experience. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Micael, for your kindness, your professionalism, and your good humor. You contributed greatly to making our trip to Madeira unforgettable. "Muito obrigado, Micael! It was an unforgettable day. We hope to return one day!"

Our group of 6 had an outstanding day with Nelson on our East Side tour! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area to see the beauty of the island. We enjoyed the many breathtaking views, a local restaurant and market and a rum tasting. Nelson was friendly, informative and very easy to understand.

Fantastic 4x4 North West Maderia Tour

"North West tour booked via Tui. Absolutely fantastic day in the rain !!! Seeing Waterfalls, landslides, beaches forests and mountains. Great lunch of skewered beef with potatoes and wine. David our guide was first class, funny and informative, we linked up with another jeep driven by Tony, who was also first class. Couldn't fault any part of the day except the rain"

Excellent full day on the magical West side

A wonderful full day with Hugo exploring the north and west side of beautiful Madeira. Hugo was terrific - very knowledgeable about Madeira - we saw and learned details about the island that I don’t think we would have seen without a more dedicated guide. Highly recommended. We have lots of great memories. If you have time for only one tour - choose Hugo and choose the West. The East is interesting also / but the West is the jewel.

4x4 Noord-West Madeira

We had a super nice 4x4 trip with True Spirit, especially our guide 'Carl' was great. He was friendly and gave a lot of explanation. He regularly asked if everything was okay. Everything was super well arranged. Had I known, I would have booked him for every excursion. A real hit!

Gil is an amazing tour guide!

Gil gave us a tour to remember. He was an excellent tour guide (and driver). He was incredibly efficient and thoughtful throughout the two days we toured with him and our time together felt tailored to our interests and personalities. Gil flexed his skill set by not only navigating the busy curved roads around the island but also by surprising us with multiple off road adventures. Gil was knowledgeable and passionate about his island and made us feel welcomed. If you come to Madeira, you can't do much better than this tour company and Gil.
