Great couple of hours on a tuk tuk - Had a lovely ride in the tuk tuk with Ricardo who did some stops along the way up to Monte. He has a great sense of humour and we both throughly recommend using this tour as an alternative way to explore the Island. The tobogganing is 100% worth it and will set you back 35 euros for 2 people for the ride. I advise booking this tour early to avoid the queues. We booked 9:30am, this was only a 10 minute wait at the top. Stopped off in the farmers market on the way down and by the santa maria church for some photos. Give it a go, it's fun and doesn't take your whole day up

Tuktuk for Funchal toboggans & botanical gardens, visiting on cruise. - Booked this ahead of our cruise visit having used Viator on previous trips. Everything went like clockwork, our driver TukTuk driver Ricardo contacted us by text as we left the ship and was waiting for us exactly as described, at the port entrance. On our way up to the old town, he stopped at a lovey viewpoint and showed us some of the sights of Funchal, continuing the uphill climb on our way to the start of the toboggans, meeting us us some time later (after the queue) at the bottom station. He then took us on another route which took us back up the hill, so we could visit botanical gardens and return to the port at our leisure, (we actually walked back up through the gardens and returned on the cable car that departs near the entrance to the gardens). Would highly recommend this trip as a way of seeing some of the sights, backed up with Ricardos friendly and informative guidance. Its not just a 'taxi' ride to take the toboggans, its excellent value and if you take the trip early enough, avoids the queues (which get worse as the morning passes) and still allows you plenty of free time to walk through the town, all at a very reasonable price.

Boston Mass to Madeira with love - Great ride uo to MONTE to jump on the Toboggan ride down the hill (this is a must do ) Included during our tour a few pit stops and the farmers market and some look outs. Our driver was Ricardo and we loved him ,he kept us safe and we amused each other. So pleased we tipped $50 euros for the great 2 hours of fun.We ended up being dropped off at the cable cars (a must do)

Great trip 😃 - Lovely trip and a great way to see more of the island. Our guide was really helpful in advising us not to waste our time queuing for the basket ride as it would take several hours, he instead took us on a tour of the island. Great experience to travel in a Tuktuk around the narrow lanes and steep hills, scary at points! All in all a good experience that gave us a glimpse of life in Madeira 😃

Fun relaxing and breath taking - Great way to see the city. It was perfect to sit back and relax through the steep and narrow streets

Great experience - Ricky our guide and TukTuk driver was knowledgeable and very friendly. He gave a good tour around the old town and stopped off for us to photograph and visit some of the sites.

Excellent - great way to do the toboggans - Trip was excellent and a great way to do the toboggans - much more fun than the cable car and guide was very friendly, helpful and interesting - do it!

Great Introduction to Funchal - Ricardo was an excellent guide. Relaxed and friendly-we had a great trip. Saw lots in a short time, Ricardo was very knowledgable and was happy to go with the flow.

Tuc tucking - Good, friendly guide. Picked up from hotel on time. Luckily no queues for baskets. Thank you Ricardo

Amusing and interesting - During our visit to Funchal, we spontaneously decided to do the Monte Tour in a tuktuk and let Ricky show us the city. You learn a lot of interesting things about the city in a very personal atmosphere. Ricky is very nice and answered our questions in detail. He gave us tips for excursions in the surrounding area and even showed us Ronaldo's house at the end ;-)
