Madeira · TUK-TUKS
Funchal is steep and a tuk-tuk removes the climbing without removing the view. These 15 are compared on route, price, how long they run and which ones go up to Monte rather than around the seafront.

Review of Funchal’s private tuk-tuk tour to Monte Palace, the tropical garden, Old Town, and Madeira’s famous toboggan ride.
“Louis was a really good guide, helpful friendly, and informative. He adapted where we were going as we had already been to the Monte Gardens the day before, so he took us to the Botanical gardens instead. He guided us through the basket ride ticket process and was waiting to collect us at the bottom of the hill. An excellent experience. Highly recommend this activity. Was exhilarating being in an open top tuktuk.”

“Great tour. Excellent value. Our guide, André, was very intelligent and had a great sense of humor. He drove us all over Funchal, explaining the history and sights of this beautiful, mountainside coastal city. He took us to strategic locations for photo opportunities and offered to take our pictures at most stops. He even stopped at a local pharmacy at our request. TukTuk is a fun and easy way to see Funchal. I would say this tour might be difficult for hearing-impaired folks because of the outdoor noises and sound of the motor. It was perfect for us. We ended at the Monte cable car entrance. We bought our own…”

“We were picked up directly from our hotel by a Tuk Tuk driven by Ricky. He contacted us the day before to confirm the arrangements and recommend the best time to start the Monte Toboggan tour. His advice to go early was perfect, as the queue gets long very quickly. Ricky was an excellent guide — friendly, chatty, and full of local knowledge. He also showed us some wonderful photo spots along the way. Overall, he made the whole experience smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. Highly recommended!”
