Lovely trip and a great way to see more of the island. Our guide was really helpful in advising us not to waste our time queuing for the basket ride as it would take several hours, he instead took us on a tour of the island. Great experience to travel in a Tuktuk around the narrow lanes and steep hills, scary at points! All in all a good experience that gave us a glimpse of life in Madeira 😃

Great way to see the city. It was perfect to sit back and relax through the steep and narrow streets

Ricky our guide and TukTuk driver was knowledgeable and very friendly. He gave a good tour around the old town and stopped off for us to photograph and visit some of the sites.

Trip was excellent and a great way to do the toboggans - much more fun than the cable car and guide was very friendly, helpful and interesting - do it!

We used viator for all our trips. This one was really good a Tuk, tuk, to the toboggans on Monte. We had to pay 35 euros for the ride but we’ll worth it you should do this if you visit Madeira. Buy the photo when you get off the ride it’s beautiful. Loved this trip. Tuk, Tuk us back to our hotel after.

This was such fun. Ricky was our driver & guide. We were collected & dropped off at our hotel, although we could have been dropped elsewhere. We stopped at a lovely place where the views of Funchal were breathtaking. We did have to queue for the tobogganing & that costs extra but wow definitely worth doing. Would highly recommend

A friendly guide who looked after us and was knowledgeable. The toboggan ride was so much fun and something a bit different but with a historic influence.

We went on three different tours with Luis and we cannot thank him enough for his knowledge of the island, his enthusiasm and personal approach to the tours we went on. He has a very friendly and very engaging personality. We highly recommend him and his tuk tuk tours and look forward to booking him again in the future. He was the highlight of our honeymoon. Thank you so much from Mr and Mrs Nicholas Padgett
