The driver was excellent...

John_S, Nov 2025
The driver was excellent and very knowledgeable of the local area. A very scenic driving tour with many opportunities to stop and enjoy local sights and foods

Fun and Fabulous Funchal

Lisa_P, Nov 2024
From start to finish, Michael was the consummate guide, sharing lots of factual info about beautiful Funchal. We weren’t rushed…he safely maneuvered the narrow streets up and down the steep hills of the city. We got to see amazing vistas from various locations, especially from The higher elevations. He was flexible as well as considerate, so we saw and learned so much about this unique location off the coast of Africa. (The weather canceled the toboggan ride; we had to be flexible ourselves.) Another outstanding Viator excursion!!

Tour of island with cruise port drop off

Maria_T, Jun 2023
Driver was our tour guide and was very friendly but hard to understand his English. He took us all around as expected. What a beautiful island! Unfortunately, the toboggan experience was sold out to cruise ship passengers so we didn’t get to do that.
