Suzuki, Our Passion

Why We Tour in a Vitara

Our Story: A Childhood Dream, A Lifetime Passion

Some dreams don’t fade—they grow stronger with every mile. Mine began at 14 years old, when I spotted an old Suzuki Sidekick Vitara at a car exposition, gleaming in the sunlight. I remember my sister and I scrambling into the trunk and shouting to our father: “That’s the one!”

That was indeed the one. My father cherished that car for over 15 years, cementing the Vitara as a part of our family story and creating countless memories.

Years later, that childhood passion has become a reality: guiding unforgettable private journeys across Madeira. Every time we start the engine of one of our Suzukis, that original sense of excitement returns, ensuring every turn, every view, and every breeze tells a new story.

Flexibility and Our Promise

At Madeira 4 Tours, every private journey shares freedom and fun, choosing between the exhilarating open-air thrill of The Legend (Cabriolet) or the panoramic comfort of The Essence (Hybrid SUV).

While we are a road-based company, both Vitara models utilize 4WD capability to safely access Madeira’s hidden, unpaved tracks, ensuring we never miss a view. As a family business, we embrace the Hybrid to actively reduce emissions while keeping the spirit of adventure alive.

Your custom tour is expertly curated by Ross, your personal guide around the island, who ensures your flexible journey is comfortable, authentic, and utterly unforgettable.

Suzuki VITARA – Life in Motion

The name says it all. Vitara… every time we hear it, we think of “vida”—the Portuguese word for life. And life, especially in Madeira, is meant to be lived fully, with joy, adventure, and moments that make you smile.

Our Suzukis bring that philosophy to every journey: they are dependable, capable, and ready for whatever adventure awaits.
