Exceptional tour guides - This tour was amazing . I would certainly do it again . The tuk tuk guide Henrique Jesus was a super guide of the island with plenty of knowledge. They showed up in time and offered an earlier time which suited us better. The guides stood in the queue with us to help us secure our tabagon space while we paid also . Saving more time ! Amazing

Tuk-tuk tour is great! - Gil was wonderful! I received a text message when he arrived and we were off. Early on a Saturday morning was great... not much traffic and we felt like we were part of the city. Riding up the mountain on that beautiful day to get to the toboggan ride in Monte was worth getting up early! We were the first in line! This was my reason for visiting Madeira and it was so worth it! Gil met us at the bottom of the ride and we took off for Funchal old town. Seeing many painted doors and ending up at the church on the harbor. Loved every minute of this tour!

The actual pick up... - The actual pick up location is about 150 meters farther Northwest than the location the app directed us. Miguel was great and gave us a great tour. We had a couple of unavoidable issues, but they did not detract from our enjoyment. I guess we will ride the toboggans on the next trip!

Great tour of the City - but rain stopped our toboggan ride. Maybe next time ... - Great tour of Old & New Funchal in a Tuk Tuk piloted Laura. Unfortunately the rain stopped our toboggan ride but Laura gave us a full tour of the city sights. Lovely way to tour the city, even in the rain. Hope you had a great birthday Laura 👏🥂
