Tukxi Private Tuk Tuk Tour Madeira - Arranged pick up for this tour at the cruise terminal and our guide arrived on time. He was very friendly and extremely informative about the places we visited. He allowed ample time for us to visit gardens and churches, without having to rush, and took us to high vantage points so we could get breath taking views. We also drove down streets that were so narrow that unless you knew they were there or you were walking, would not be easily found. All in all a good experience. Would highly recommend.

Great half day trip - Great morning with the lovely Miguel. Collected and returned to hotel with option of anywhere drop off. Very informative with a clear passion for his island. Went up as far as Monte Palace gardens where we were left to wander on our own until the agreed pick up time. Once back down we were taken around the old town, again very informative. Any questions were answered and where possible we were taken to places we’d asked about. All in all, very good value, a lovely way to see a bit of Funchal with the personal touch. Thank you Miguel.

Tic Tic Island of Madeira - Unforgettable Tuk Tuk Tour with Ricardo and Miguel! We had the most amazing Tuk Tuk ride yesterday with Ricardo and Miguel! From the moment we started, they made us feel welcome and relaxed. Both were full of energy, knowledge, and humour — the perfect mix for a fantastic experience. They showed us incredible viewpoints, charming local spots, and shared so many interesting stories about the city’s history and everyday life. The Tuk Tuk was spotless and comfortable, and they were always happy to stop for photos or give great local tips for restaurants and things to do. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip — we saw and learned so much, and had a lot of fun along the way. Thank you, Ricardo and Miguel, for a wonderful day! Highly recommended!

Fun morning in Funchal! - Fun way to see Funchal. The tuk-tuk gives a more intimate and authentic view of the old town area of Funchal and Ricardo was an excellent guide - entertaining and informative without being boring or dry. The toboggan baskets were a blast - a definite must do for a trip to Madeira.

Nice but Unnecessary - While this was fun and we had a great guide, this can be skipped. The main purpose we did this was for the infamous toboggans. Those can we done without this. He just drove us around to the top, pointed out some sights (hard to hear him in the Tuk Tuk) and dropped us off. The price of the Tuk Tuk ticket did not include the toboggan, so we paid separately. My suggestion… do the toboggans on your own!
