Amazing sights around every corner - This tour was even better than described. The views were stunning from the look out to the water falls to the lava pools. We had a great guide too. The mountain off road was a blast and lunch (even though it wasn’t included) was a fun spot with great food. Every part of this tour was fun. No boring moments on this tour.

Absolutely Incredible 4x4 Tour – A Must-Do in Madeira! - **Absolutely Incredible 4x4 Tour – A Must-Do in Madeira!** We had an unforgettable experience on the **Skywalk & Porto Moniz Volcanic Lava Pools** tour with **True Spirit**! Our guide, **Nelson**, was amazing—friendly, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about Madeira. As a local, he provided fascinating insights into the island’s history, nature, and culture, making every stop along the way even more special. The 4x4 ride was an adventure in itself, taking us through breathtaking landscapes, rugged off-road trails, and hidden gems we never would have found on our own. From the jaw-dropping Cabo Girão Skywalk to the stunning volcanic pools of Porto Moniz, every moment was incredible. We were staying outside the pickup zone, but **True Spirit** accommodated us for a **€50 pickup and drop-off**, which made everything seamless. The entire experience was well-organized, fun, and beyond expectations. If you’re visiting Madeira, **this tour is an absolute must!** ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended! Will do it again next time we are in Maderia !

Excellent! - I loved it! Our guide / driver was Dany, native of Madeira, extremely attentive to everyone and acquainted with the island. First stop in Ponta do Sol (the name perfectly describes the light of the place), we followed to Fanal (it's simply a charming forest, it seems we entered this movie....where we managed to hear the rain falling from the trees), we followed to Ribeira da Janela (besides the baloiço and the landscape...n is q in a rocky formation appears mmo the genre of a window currently with the shape of the African continent 🤔), on the journey we could observe the extraordinary volcanic pools of Porto Moniz, and we ended up in Cabo Girão, with his famous skywalk (amazing)...

A nice pick and mix - Fabulous time, getting a flavour of what Madiera has to offer.... loved the ancient trees and swimming in the lava pools (which are not hot but make a good safe ocean swimming pool)

Amazing day - Wow what a fantastic day with Karim our guide and driver. He’s so knowledgeable and entertaining, great company as well as professional. We had a wonderful day saw a part of Madeira I hadn’t seen before, the north of the island is a real contrast to the south. Very highly recommend.

Unforgettable - Our tour guy Diogo Camacho made our experience unforgettable; if someone is coming to Madeira; I recommended to ask for him at trip advisor. I went with my husband and two teenager daughters and we will never forget this experience . 1000% worthy

Be Aware !! bad rest... and the driver tony not very pro!! - I had a very disappointing experience with the GYG tour in Madeira operated by True Spirit. Our guide, Tony, was extremely unsafe and seemed to have i bort of drink problem very little knowledge about the places we visited. Throughout the trip, he kept giving us incorrect information, which I double-checked and found to be wrong. His driving was also reckless, making the whole experience feel dangerous rather than enjoyable. I expected a professional and well-informed guide, but unfortunately, this was not the case. I would not recommend this tour to anyone looking for a safe or educational experience in Madeira.
