Fun experience 😊 - Such a fun way to experience & hear the history of Funchal. Our driver & guide Sofia was so lovely & knowledgeable. The toboggan ride is a must & super fun although an extra cost. A great way to spend a few hours in Madeira!

Amazing fun filled informative tour excellent fun - We got picked up at the entrance of the port but could of been picked up at the ship. Ricardo our Tuktuk driver was knowledgeable informative and a great laugh , we had a tour of the sights of the city key interest points and ( best bars ) stopped off a few times to have photo op then took us to the top to get the Toboggan, he even escorted us to the queue end and said to wait there while one of us went and purchased tickets took me back to my Mrs waiting in the queue and said he would see us at the bottom. Once he got us he then drove us around the old town and dropped us off at a location we asked for. Excellent value for money

A fantastic tour with an equally fantastic driver and guide 5* - We had a tuk tuk tour of the old town and monte today. Our driver was Flavio. The tour was absolutely fantastic as was flavio. He was so knowledgeable, courteous, welcoming. We couldn't have wished for anything more. He took us up to the basket tobbogan, walked with us to get our tickets and explained that he would wait for us at the bottom. Despite having to wait about an hour for us. He then gave us a tour of the old town and walked us in to various sites that he thought we would like. He dropped us right back to our cruise ship as it was raining and we were very grateful for this. We also met who I think was the boss on a couple of occasions and he was equally lovely. In the tobbogan queue he spoke to me and reffered to me by name which I thought was lovely as I had only spoken to him for about 10 seconds whilst waiting for our tour. Highly recommend this tour if you're In Funchal and we will definitely use them again. Thank you!

Rosie and Tom Tuk Tuk - Our guide Tom was excellent! Rosie, our Tuk Tuk took us to Monte, the top of the island, and Tom explained the history and the sites as we climbed. After taking the basket slide , traditional, he met us to finish our private trip. Best tour we’ve ever taken

Tuck tucking up to Monte and a wiz round old town. - We had a really fun time with Ricky. The tuck tuck was a great way to get around. Headed straight to the toboggan to miss the cruise traffic, then a little tour of the old town.

Highly recommended, especially with Tom - We had a private tuk-tuk tour of Funchal with Tom today and it was just fantastic. He showed us the most beautiful corners with a lot of humor and knowledge , great views and also often played the photographer patiently. He has responded individually to our wishes. The ride was entertaining, personal and full of beautiful moments. We can heartily recommend Tom – a real highlight of our stay!
