“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.”
