We particularly enjoyed his knowledge of history, the island’s unique characteristics and even the local flora. We found the tour to be an excellent value and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anybody. It’s worth noting for cruise ship guests you will be afforded pick up right at the terminal.

This was a great way to tour around Funchal area on a beautiful sunny day. Our driver/guide John was really good and helped us get a feel for the area. We felt safe & everything went well capping off the tour by dropping us at the vintage room for a Madeira tasting. Great day!

Tuk Tuk with John

Sharon_E, Jun 2026
We took the Tuk Tuk tour in Madeira and it was fantastic. It’s a great way to see the highlights of the city and learn about its history. John was our guide and did an outstanding job. He was so knowledgeable and friendly and fun. And I had injured my knee and he helped me in and out of the Tuk. We were never rushed so we had long stops to make sure we saw everything. Also took us to a bakery that makes this wonderful dessert. Can’t remember the name but this place makes the original. I would definitely ask for John if I was going on the tour

Fantastic way to see the sights

Marcia_S, May 2026
Our guide, Daniella was bubbly, funny, knowledgeable and a great deal of fun. We saw places thst buses cannot get to. I asked to taste local pastries abd if course some Madiera, she stopped at places she knew were not touristy which was great. Brilliant tour, highly recommend and ask for Daniella 😄

A friendly and fun tuktuk adventure

Cathy_F, May 2026
What a great way to see Madeira with a friendly informed guide - riding up and down the hills of this beautiful Portuguese island! Francisco was excellent - both as a driver and a guide to his home.

Great way to see alot. Or...

JEANM_B, May 2026
Great way to see alot. Or guides and drivers Tiago and Gomalo were wonderful. Easy pick up at cruise port.

Great way to see Funchal and surrounding area!

Joy_B, May 2026
Tiago was waiting for us right outside our ship on the quay. He asked us if we had any where that we wanted to see, we told him that we would leave that to him. The weather was not great so a trip into the mountains was not worth it as the visibility was terrible. Tiago made the best of it and took us on a lovely tour of the Funchal and Lido area. All in all would highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful and Engaging Experience

Loved having the option to having our excursion catered to our needs with my husbands limited mobility. We were allowed to choose where we wanted to go. Our guide was awesome!

Loved your by tuktuk

Christina_P, Apr 2026
Pedro was a great guide knew all the area and explained neighborhoods very well He spoke English perfectly!!! Gave us time to view and shop on our own Highly recommend to anyone visiting!!!!

Great away to discover Funchal.

RalphD_S, Apr 2026
This is really the perfect way to see Funchal and surrounding areas. This vehicle can get into spaces and alleys that even small cars can’t pass through. Our tour guide was exceptional and knew so much about the history and sites we were viewing. I really like the fact this Tuck Tuck could get up clase for easy access to view areas , plazas, and parks. I would highly recommend this tour, for even seasoned travelers to Madeira.

Our guide was exceptional. He was helpful, knowledgeable and entertaining. The Tukxi was a great way to see a street level view of Funchal and surrounding areas.

Great day with the excellent guide and driver Margarida

Moviesq, Apr 2026
Thoroughly enjoyed this tour and particularly our engaging and knowledgeable guide Margarida. The use of the tuktuk was efficient and helped with some narrow roads, and because it was electric, it was environmentally friendlier and made it easy to hear our tour guide. Margarida made great suggestions on how to allocate our time well. Thank you for a fine day.

Best Tuk Tuk ride in Madeira.

Victoria_G, Feb 2026
We had an amazing experience of Madeira, mainly due to Daniella. We had a four hour tour in the Tuk Tuk and what we got to see and do in that time was fantastic, Daniella asked us what was important for us to see within our time, and she delivered. We got to go all the way up into the mountains, it was Christmas and we saw traditional nativity scenes in the local villages. It was a great adventure, as it was sunny and warm in Funchal, going up into the mountains it was inclement, colder and drizzly. All created the experience of the visit. We had a lovely lunch stop as well as coffee and Custard Tart stop. Never tried so many variations of Chestnuts, (cake, soup, liquor, roasted, you get the picture) we will never look at a chestnut again without thinking of the lovely Daniella. Thank you!

Fabulous!

Susan_E, Feb 2026
We were picked up from the hotel lobby. Our guide was very thorough asking us what we would like to gain and see during the journey. We made our way through the Port and Lido area and then went very high up into the mountains and enjoyed fabulous scenery. Would highly recommend!

Karen_H, Jan 2026
Excellent 4 hours tour around Funchal, a fishing village & to the village of Monte. Our tour guide Pedro was fantastic & he gave us an insight into Madeira history. We went straight to the toboggans & we arrived to no queue. Lots of opportunities to take photos along the way. Highly recommend the tour & our guide Pedro.

Wonderful day out

Thank you very much for your kind feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you had a great day and enjoyed the 6-hour tour. It’s wonderful to know the driver’s knowledge of the island made the experience special. We hope to welcome you again soon!

Nippy Tuk Tuk

Nick_W, Jan 2026
This trip is a must for anyone who is looking to get to places that others just cant reach.These little Tuk Tuk’s have incredible power for their size and the guide flew round the tight steep streets with ease.We had a great guide who was very knowledgeable of the island and was great fun to chat with throughout. In addition to this my wife is disabled and so we required a manual wheelchair to come along with us.With a little bit of a squeeze our guide managed to accomplish this with ease.

Pleasant tour

Elizabeth_H, Jan 2026
It was a nice way to see some of this island. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t very kind to us which restricted the views and enjoyment. At times, it was difficult to hear the guide over the engine noise. Some form of amplifier would be helpful.
