Tukway Madeira - The trip was excellent due to Andre our guide/driver who was not only great fun but also very knowledgeable, courteous & polite. His English was also excellent. We can thoroughly recommend him and Tukway Madeira.

Fun ride with Andre - We got picked up right on time by Andre at our hotel at 8:30. We had a fun curvy ride through narrow streets. We stopped at a perfect overlook for some pictures. And then, on his recommendation, we went to the Monte toboggans next and literally walked up and got on the first toboggan, with no wait at all around 9 AM. Andre then met us at the bottom of the toboggan ride. When we passed by there about two hours later, the line appeared to be at least an hour long. Andre was cool about stopping anywhere we asked him to (we had him stop at the church right near the toboggans). He then took us to the Monte palace Gardens. He hung around and waited for us for about 2 hours and then dropped us off wherever we wanted at the end of the tour. Very fun way to get around town.

Awesome trip with Tukway - My wife and I have had a great time in TukTuk with our driver Luis this morning. A great way to experience Madeira and even better when you have Luis as your guide!! Awesome guy with a lot of knowledge, passion and enthusiasm - 100% flexible and helpful. We had a blast and can really recommend Tukway - and if you’re lucky you will have Luis as your driver. Go for it!!

André puts the FUN in Funchal!!! - We initially hired Tukway for specific activities but when we got to the first activity, the line was so long André proposed a few other suggestions. We left the entire 4 hour trip to André and he really put the FUN in Funchal!!! André is a master at language (4 to be exact) and his knowledge of the area was tailored for our personalities. Right on, André! We'd do the Tukway TUK-TUK all over again if we could.

"Flatlined" in Madeira - It was quite an interesting off-beat way to tour the city. Our driver Guy was very personable and explained all the sights as we drove along. However, the Basket line-up was over 1 1/2 hours long so we decided to replace it with a tour of the Old Town. However on the way back our Tuk Tuk got a flat tire. Since there was no spare or jack on board, we had to wait over an hour for someone to bring the equipment to us and repair our tire. By then we had to go back to our hotel as we had other commitments. As a result the trip was rather disappointing, but I have to say that Guy was as accommodating as much as possible under the circumstances. However I think that replacement equipment should have been stored on the vehicle so that this hour long wait wouldn't have occurred. So I can't recommend our particular tour although I think that the idea has some promise. However, I think it might be a better idea to have Basket tickets beforehand to avoid long wait lines.
