Such a fun way to view Madeira! Our guide Pedro was very kind and educational. He took us to several beautiful view points & gave us plenty of time to explore and take pictures.

Very nice tour! Breathtaking views over the city, and over the Nun's Valley! Our guide Pedro spoke good English and gave us information about sites we passed.

Amazing

What an amazing day. We were collected from right outside our ship and taken up through the hills. Our guide was exceptional, a very knowledgeable lovely lady. We finished off with a drive around the old own and even got some recommendations of good bars and restaurants.

A fun way to visit nuns valley

Jackie_L, Mar 2024

We had a brilliant experience, Maggie our TutTut driver/guide was fantastic. Her knowledge of the history and area was well informed as she was born and lives close by. We stopped off on the way so we could view Funchal a great photo opportunity. We then traveled on to the valley of the nuns, stopping at Eira do Serrado hotel for a fantastic view of the nuns valley. Then finally onto the valley. There was many opportunities to walk around and Maggie was brilliant in explaining the past and present. I would highly recommend this personal one to one tour with the benefit of a fun way to travel. The tuttut was comfortable and although it was chilly in the mountains in March we was provided with cosy blankets and the valley warm once we was there. Maggie was a very good driver and very experienced.

Do this trip

Excellent Tour

A great experience. Stunning scenery. Good value. John, our guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Recommended. Take jumpers, it’s cold at the top!

The Tukxi took the trip to the Nuns valley to the next level

DAVE_W, Oct 2023

We booked the nuns valley tour by tukxi and it was brilliant, our guide was knowledgeable and I don't think there is a better way to travel up them mountain roads than by tukxi. Nuns valley was stunning and the views were breathtaking, I think riding into the mountains on the tukxi just took it to that next level of enjoyment.

The Tukxi was a fun way...

Gail_H, Apr 2023

The Tukxi was a fun way to see Madeira, the scenery was beautiful, and our driver was very nice and very accommodating. Only negative was that the Tukxi is noisy, but that would not stop us from doing it again.

Nice Tour to Nuns Valley

Andrew_M, Apr 2023

Loads of fun! Really enjoyed the trip to and from Nuns Valley by Tuxki. Gonzalo was a friendly and informative tour guide and gave lots of history and background about Madeira on the ride there and back. As well at Nuns Valley. Definitely a good tour and good value for the price!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

A fun and unique way to travel.

A fun and unique way to visit the Nuns Valley. You felt much closer to everything and the sedate pace let you appreciate the views. Our guide was really friendly.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Great time!

Ted_G, Sep 2022

My tour guide Wilson gave me the best tour into Nuns Valley with local knowledge and history, as well as being sensitive to my concern over heights. It was like a day hanging out with an old friend!
