• 5A Wonderful Day in Madeira

  Daniella arrived right on time to pick us up at cruise port for a 6 hour fun filled day! We saw so many sights all around Madeira! We got great pictures and we learned so much from Daniella. She was passionate about Madeira and the beautiful historic Funchal. She helped identify the gorgeous foliage of the area. We visited the market and saw fish we had never heard of and ended our tour having the fish for lunch! All six hours went by quickly and we were never rushed. It was a fantastic day and thanks to Daniella!🎉

• 5A good guide makes all the difference!

  Your guide will customize your tour based on your intests and requests, so it pays to learn about Funchal before you arrive. Daniela was highly knowledgeable about the history of the city and island. She was warm and outgoing and took a genuine interest in us as we enjoyed our 6 hours together. I definitely recommend this tour.

• 5Excellent Tuk Tuk Tour with Daniela

  I had a great tour with Daniela. I did a half day tour. She picked me up at my hotel in old town and showed me Camara de Lobos which is a very quaint fishing village with a flair for art. Next we covered the downtown area from west to east. She gave me a great overview of the sites and history. I enjoyed her company and highly recommend requesting her. The open air Tuk Tuk was a fun way to explore the city.

• 5Wonderful way to see Maderia

  Wonderful time with Pedro, he was very knowledgeable and patient, answering our questions. He took us up and down streets in the old down and pointed out various things of interest, stopping at a beautiful church for us to visit inside. We then went to a beautiful fishing village and let us have 30 minutes to walk around and then finally for an extra €30, he took us to the famous Skywalk. If your looking for a wonderful way to see Maderia, then the Tuk'Tuk ride is the best way to do it!!

• 5Great Tour and Excellent Guide

  We had a wonderful on the Madeira Grand Experience by Tukxi during our cruise port day in Funchal. Our guide was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us a great introduction to the city's culture and sights. The tour was relaxed, informative, and a very enjoyable way to spend our day in Madeira. We especially enjoyed ending the tour at a local festival downtown, which was a fun and memorable way to experience the city. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Funchal!

About Funchal

Funchal is the capital of Madeira, a Portuguese island in the Atlantic, set on steep green hills with flower-filled gardens and a seafront old town.

Funchal spreads up a steep hillside above a natural harbour on Madeira's south coast. The old town, the Zona Velha, has narrow lanes with painted doors and small restaurants, and the cathedral dates from around 1500. The Mercado dos Lavradores sells tropical fruit, fish and flowers in a hall decorated with blue tiles. A cable car climbs from the harbourfront to Monte, high above.
