Dissapointing

Not much to see on the trip when compared to other cities. We dod the route but only got off at the fishing village because there was nothing else worth seeing.

Not worth it

Lawrence_K, Mar 2024

I can barely recommend the Yellow Bus. First my cruise ship dropped me off next to Red Bus, which just happens to be RED and YELLOW. Also all of the local buses (nor tour) also happen to be Yellow. When I asked the local tour agent where the YELLOW bus was. she just pointed in a direction. After an 15 minute walk in that direction we gave up. We finally found the YELLOW bus at one of its stops.. In the meanwhile two RED buses had driven past us. The narration on the bus as to the sights was poor. We would be told to look at the right/left and see something. We did and for the most part only saw the side of a building. In between sights, all we heard was Portuguese music. All in all, I can barely recommend the YELLOW us.

Enjoyed it

TRACY_P, Jan 2024

We did the tour as we were in Funchal for the day on the cruise ship. We went to the first stop and started the tour there. It gives a great overall tour of Funchal and there are some lovely views. At 2 hours, it was quite long but I suppose it has to be in order to see everything. Would recommend this trip.

Bus and tour were fine but location...

gerard w, Dec 2017

Bus and tour were fine but location of the bus was a twenty minute walk from the ship. Recommend that you pay 5 for a taxi. Staff members on the bus were very helpful. Jerry, Jupiter,Fl
