Useful for getting your bearings. - Do this early on when you arrive on holiday. It's the best way to see where everything of interest is in Funchal. You will then have a good idea of the layout of the city and where the things are that you most want to see. Informative commentary in several languages via earphones which are provided and you can keep. The app is useful too as it has a realtime map of where your next bus is for when you hop on and off. All-in-all a good value trip.

Drivers and staff are so helpful - Great way to see some of the island and get a sense of its history and attractions - use the live tracking rather than a timetable Thomas they have been known to leave a stop early!!

Funchal at a Glance - We booked the tour via our cruise ship and were met by the bus at the port. It did a round of Funchal before taking us to the highest point, and then the village of Camara de Lobos. The route has several curves, and from the accessible wheelchair space on the bottom deck views were not as good as I could not adjust my position for photos as readily as my wife could from the upper deck. Glare from the windows on the lower deck didn't disrupt the tour, but did impact photos. The stop at the high vantage point was shorter than I would have liked. The village was not much different from Funchal itself, but the drive past banana plantations and terraced hills, as well as the view of the coastline was pretty. The tour did include a coupon for a tasting at Blandy's Wine Shop, and we went to that stop after the full circuit. The route however is set up in such a way that a full second circuit is needed to get back to the cruise port, or you can do as we did and walk a couple hundred metres back to the ship from the Blandy's stop. The wheelchair ramp is manual and the tour operator will put it down on request.

Helpful for exploration - On the website you can see where the bus is and the estimated arrival time of every station, very useful. Nice ride to do some city exploration.

Very good - As this was our first visit to Madeira, we decided to do the HOHO bus tour to get out bearings. The live timetable did take a bit of working out, but each time we used the bus it was pretty much on time. We choose the 5 day ticket and definitely made good use of this. The bus was never overcrowded and driver was friendly. The info was as useful (although-minor point- the voice over was irritating- her intonation was all over the place!) Would I recommend the bus- yes, definitely.

Very busy, not enough buses and faulty commentary. - Bus very busy, with people having to stand. The tour of Funchal was informative, although would have preferred to sit upstairs as would have seen more. Very disappointed that buses to Cabo Girao were full, asked to come back in an hour but the next bus was full too. In the end we ended up not being able to do this tour as we did not have time. On the way back the commentary was broken on my seat.

Poor - Not the best on-off bus tour we have been on. I usually enjoy a tour, helps us to orientate a new location, but this tour provided little information & the recorded info seemed to be out-of-synch with the location of the bus! Beautiful views were the best thing about the tour, but sadly disappointed with the rest of it.

Avoid! They don’t keep their timetable! - I was waiting at Cabo Giro for 40 minutes. The yellow bus didn’t turn up at 11.15 at schedule. It drove past around 11.32 without stopping. I had to wait for an another hour. It’s so disappointing that they don’t keep the timetable wasting precious time of passenger’s holiday. The website live schedule is broken. They never refund my money when i asked for a refund.
