Tuktuking with Ricardo - We were picked up by the cool driver Ricardo at the hotel and taken to the descent of the basket sleds. On the way there he explained a lot to us, gave us tips for further activities and stopped at striking places for a photo. He's very personable and funny. It was really fun

Breathtaking tour with heart and soul! Incl. Stop at the bestb bar for Poncha - Last year in December 2023, I met Ricky by chance and asked him for a short drive to my hotel. On the short tour Ricky was very nice to me! This year I went to Madeira again with my girlfriend and when we were at the port I was able to contact Ricky easily via WhatsApp. We asked him to plan a tour and he came up with the idea of showing us downtown Funchal. This tour was just incredible! My girlfriend and I are very happy about the knowledge and tips Ricky, as a local, could give us. Ricky asked us if we knew the drink "Poncha." (My girlfriend and I had been on the island a few days, but no one had told us about it.) We denied his question and Ricky was quite shocked that we would not know Poncha and offered to make a short stop at a small bar in Funchal that we could drink our first Poncha. It was a great stop at the end of the tour. Afterwards Ricky drove us to our hotel at sunset, told us about his Inser Madeira while we could enjoy our poncha in the back seat. It was an incredibly beautiful experience and we felt very well looked after with Ricky! In October we booked our next holiday in Madeira and are looking forward to the next tours we will do with Ricky. P.s. A big thank you to Ricky and his red TukTuk for the great tour and the warm commitment that he invests in his work! Greetings, Celine and Miguel

Tuk Tuk & Toboggan - This is a great way to see the city of Funchal, its so much fun going up and down the little side roads where cars can’t get through, its a bit bumpy in parts but so much fun. We hired the Tuk Tuk in Funchal and opted to include the Toboggan Monte. Our driver Ricky was so informative and so passionate about his country. The Toboggan Monte was really good, those guys are so fit, don’t forget to smile as you are going downhill as you will have your photo taken and then you can purchase it. Really recommend this trip, well worth the money and a great experience!!
