“For starters our guide was 10 minutes late. Journey to Botanical Gardens was ok, bit rough in places and Tuk Tuk struggled badly on hill. Engine kept cutting out, sliding backwards, jittery restart causing hell of a bump (this happened more than once!) on arrival at gardens we were told by our guide we had 1 hour. Set alarm on my phone for 45 minutes to ensure we had plenty of time to get back to exit for pick up (11.33am) Arrived at pick up ahead of time, waited and waited. 12.05 still no sign of our guide so we got the bus back into Funchal. So much cheaper (and…”

“The ride was fantastic. There was no rush whatsoever and everyone in the group enjoyed themselves - regardless of skill level. The sights along the way were superb. Bernardo (the guide) was friendly and knew his stuff super well. Also a great biker! There was a bit of every terrain - from single track to pavement! The ride took us through all sorts of weather conditions - from riding through clouds to riding through bright sun! We didn’t read enough beforehand but the entire ride is downhill which is a very nice touch! We clocked 26km but it did not feel hard at all! Lokoloko was super easy to work…”

Ride Madeira’s forest trails, levadas, and mountain roads on a guided bike tour with ocean views, gear, transport, and flexible routes.
“We had a lovely time with Jimmy. There was only 4 guests in total, so we were able to chat a little more than if it had been a big group. Jimmy was friendly and helpful. He clearly loves mountain biking and is at home on the island. We did the beginners trail, which was still quite challenging at times, and the terrain changed quite often, from rocks, to road, to dusty paths, to forest paths, to asphalt again. The ride down the mountain was a mixture of mountain biking and sightseeing and we felt that it might have felt smoother if it had focused on one or the other.…”

“Why go to the far east when you can experience a tuk tuk ride aroung Funchal ! I would strongly recommend booking before you travel or just after you arrive as it is a very popular tour and gets booked up days ahead. Andrea our guide was very knowledgeable. As well as giving a running commentary on places of interest she answered all our questions so well. It's a great way to spend a few hours without taking a whole day out of your holiday. I would definitely recommend this trip.”

Ride a private tuk-tuk from Funchal to Madeira Botanical Garden for city views, steep streets, local stories, and practical island context.
“It was actually a trip to the Botanical Garden and back. Very nice time spent in tuktuk. The vehicle looked inconspicuous, but it was doing great on city roads, and the steep climbs did not make any impression on it. Sidónio (this is the name of our driver) was perfectly in control of the vehicle, and its valuable information about the buildings and the city was an additional advantage. I highly recommend it!”
