Good fun - Laura our guide was amazing, we never got the wicker ride because of the queues but we did go down the course in the Tuk Tuk which was fun and quite hairy as they don't have great brakes and we did see many interesting parts of the old town.

Ricardo: Funchal Rickshaw - Ricardo picked us up at the arranged point. Knowledgeable and got us to the toboggans before the queue got ridiculous....only a 30 minute wait. Picked us up at the bottom then a tour of historic Funchal, identifying place to visit, eat and drink. Finished by the cable car park 💯👏

Great Time Despite the Rain! - Rui and Andre were fantastic. Unfortunately we did not get to do the sledding due to rain, these two gave us a great experience and tried to show us parts of Funchal that we had not already seen. It was an adventure that was fun despite being wet.

Disappointed - Disappointed that we never got to the tobbogans. Apparently there was a wait of over 2 hours. It was part of a 60th celebration. Apart from that a very enjoyable experience
