Camacho gave us a tour of the real Madeira, taking us from the highest cliff on the island to a vineyard in the centre, with some off roading in the 4x4 for good measure. We heard stories of the island and tried some of the local delicacies when we stopped off at a local bar. If you want to understand the island and its history, look no further. Fully recommend!

Diogo Camacho- very pleasant with a great sense of humor. Made a bunch of wonderful stops and saw so many wonderful diverse places in Madeira. Also very knowledgeable with any questions we asked.
John was amazing, the tour and wine tasting was the highlight of our trip. Thank you so much! Would recommend
Wonderful views, nice driving of Diogo Pinto, good explanation. The off road experiece was awesom. We took a lot of pictures.
Our trip was amazing and Rui was excellent, he really made our trip special! We started with the sky walk and Rui gave us some really good info about the land, island and culture on the way. The view was unreal. We then went to the wine tasting and did some off roading in the 4x4 on the way which was really fun. The vineyard/location was beautiful and so was the wine selection. They showed us around and gave us nibbles to enjoy with the wines. Then back to Funchal to go out on the catamaran boat to see dolphins. What an experience, thank you Rui!
Gill was our guide and we had a fantastic time! He stopped lots to tell us lots about the island, the plants and the history. Recommended taking a jumper/cardigan and a hair clip as it can get windy at times when you're on the fast roads! The off roading was great fun! We could stand up and there were loads of photo opportunities. We got to try lots of different table wines and learn a little about how they were grown. Overall a fantastic way to spend half a day and our favourite tour of our trip!
Fantastic guide Gil , loved the day , really professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommend the tour of skywalk and wine tour.
We had the best 4X4 and wine tour with Rui and Rosita! Rui is passionate about his work, knowledgeable about the beautiful countryside and anticipated all of our needs and interests. I highly recommend this trip as it was the highlight of our trip to Madeira.
Fantastic trip and tour with Rui and Rosita super friendly and knowledgeable! 10/10 recommend, the wine tour was amazing!
Rui was amazing. Hands down the best tour I’ve had. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. The wine tour was a lot of fun
Fantastic guide, great knowledge, gorgeous scenery and surrounding … all round brilliant day. Wine tasting was set in n a stunning valley surrounded by mountains and the wines were superb, with good information, 4x4 trip really fun and drivers happy to stop for photo opportunities whenever you requested.
The first part of the tour was excellent. Small group, 7 people in total and a guide (Paulo) who told us all about the area we were driving through and the vegetation etc. Had a lot of fun but that also depends on the people on your tour. We were lucky and had a nice group and had a great time during the skywalk and wine tasting. After this Paulo told us that this was the end of his tour and that he would take us to the next tour, which was dolphin watching. We were the only 3 of the 7 who had combined this. What a disappointment this was. We had a little break (ran a little late with the first excursion) and then we were put on a catamaran with about 50 other people. We sailed around for about 3 hours without any explanation of the marine life or vegetation we passed. We also did tours in the US and there they tell you all about the sea life and vegetation in the area. This tour would be more interesting if a little more attention was given to that. Then they would not be bottlenose dolphins like in America. But it does make the excursion a bit more exciting. And indeed we got to see dolphins jumping around for a few minutes after more than 2 hours of sailing. The second part of this excursion could have been so much better if there was some telling about the environment or what happens in the sea. Now it was just sailing, and I guess they have been sailing there for so long that they know exactly where the dolphins are. For us, this was a damper on a very fun and educational day. That's why I advised people we talked to to do the first part of the tour, but leave the dolphin watching for what it was.
Great service. Very professional, accessible, cheerful. They really give you a lot of info during the trip. We will book them again for different tour as soon as we come back.
Our trip was Sky walk+ vineyards+ vine tasting+ dolphin watching. It was such a great day all together. Rui our guide could answer all the questions, it was a lot of fun during the 4×4 trip. At the vineyards Leticia explained everything about the wines and we got to taste 6 of them. The view at the vineyards is fantastic it was such a pleasure to taste wine while enjoying it. And at the end of the tour we get to see a Fin whale the second largest whale in the world. We were there in the April but for even better experience at the vineyards September would be the month to go.
Prompt pickup by a very friendly, genuine and informative guide. Who added fun and a real sense of adventure. Well done Rooey. Sorry about the spelling. It was a fabulous trip to St Vincent in the jeep, off road and en route to a beautiful vineyard. Well worth it! Boat trip in the afternoon was a bit disappointing. No commentary to help lift the disappointment of no marine life.
Fantastic day from start to finish. We had a great guide (Gil) who made sure that the whole family enjoyed themselves. Kids especially enjoyed the off road 4x4 on g to be way to the vineyard. They could have done it all day. The whole day was so well planned, nothing was rushed and we would not hesitate in recommending this excursion
Amazing day at the vineyard and on the boat. Our guide Rui was fantastic. We got to drink some delicious wines and then to top it off we got to see lots of dolphins! Highly recommend.
Fantastic day from start to finish. Stunning scenery all round and great fun in the jeep with our guide Rui. We also saw so many dolphins during the boat trip. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Madeira looking for a special day!
Great tour, Bruno was a great driver and his English was exceptional. A little bit of off road which was good and wine tasting was gorgeous in a stunning setting. Then off for catamaran to which the day was complete with Dolphins.
Great and funny guide, wonderful views and amazing wine and dolphin tour! Would definitely recommend!!!
This has been by far one of our favourite experiences on our trip! The excursion was so much fun and we got to see things that we wouldn’t have seen on our own. Our tour guide Braz really made it special! We’d recommend this a must for anyone coming to Madeira and wanting to see what the island really has to offer! To top it all off we got to see dolphins and whales up close and personal!
Amazing tour with guide David, a real family man. The wine tasting was incredible with really stunning views.
Tony...my friend, you provided a great experience to my lovely girlfriend and I. It being my first time out of the USA, I was nervous but excited. You affirmed my excitement! We loved every second.
We had a great time. Tony was a great guy with a fun personality that kept us entertained while still driving on remote roads with safety and ease. Lovely wine vineyard and the catamaran tour the crew was wonderful and we were lucky enough to see whales and dolphins. If you want to get a lot done this is a good one.
Thank you Toni the Kangaroo for this funny, informativ and unforgettable trip! We really enjoyed your Offroad-riding-skills and your sense of humour! We saw beautiful landscapes, got on the skywalk and learned a little more about Madeira itself. We also enjoyed the Vineyards+Wine Tasting part with Liza, it was very interesting and delicious! We definitely recommend this tour
Beautiful landscapes, nature and stops. The guide, Rui, was very good and he explained us a lot about the island. Rui, the penguin, is a very good driver. Thanks, penguin and polar beer.
We had such a wonderful experience with True Spirit. Our guide Rui was phenomenal! We saw so many beautiful parts of the island. 100% recommend this trip!
Many thanks to Rui, our guide, for his entertainment, driving skill and humour. A very enjoyable trip on a beautiful day in Madeira.
Una experiencia genial! Súper recomendable y en guía excepcional (Miguel) . La única pega ha sido que al terminar el tour en 4x4 no teníamos muy claro donde ir, a qué compañía de catamarán dirigirnos. Por suerte lo solucionamos a tiempo.
Great tour. Rally was crazy - not so sure that's safe.... However, we were unloaded at the port for the catamaran tour. We used the 90min for some food at the port. Hence the devaluation.
It was a wonderful day, we saw many beautiful sites. The ambiance at 4×4 was extraordinary our guide was sympathetic and el explained us very well the history of Madeira. And enjoy discovering this beautiful country with a passionate guide for work alone. And an experience to live. Thank you!!
We were lucky enough to be alone on the tour. Our driver Luis showed us a lot and explained about the island, the plants and and and... the drive through the mountains was a lot of fun. 👍 full of everything the off-road part. Also the wine tasting was very good. We were allowed to taste 5 wines and we learned a lot about wine growing in Madeira. Highly recommended.
è stato proprio un bellissimo tour in 4x4. autista molto simpatico. degustazione vini ottima. gli autisti hanno fatto delle foto, me le potete inviare per mail. grazie😊👍
We just had a fantastic day where we took a walk off the beaten track, discovered the local wines during a wine/cheese/charcuterie tasting and ended up searching for whales and dolphins that we were lucky enough to finally see. But this day would not have been so successful without the kindness, smile and professionalism of our TrueSpirit RUI driver. We resume another visit with them thanks to Rui that we highly recommend
A guided tour in 4x4 by Rui, great knowledgeable of the island. An unforgettable experience for the views of Madeira. A wine tasting in a vineyard of Sao Vicente. To finish the day on a catamaran sailing between dolphins and a swim at the foot of Cabo Girao. Forget him!!!
