TOP COMMUNICATION WITH LUIS - We had booked the Old Town/Botanical Garden tour with pick-up at the cruise terminal. Before we arrived, we had great communication with our guide Luis, who kept us well informed about the process via WhatsApp. Unfortunately, on the day of arrival, the harbor pilots in Funchal went on strike, meaning our ship couldn't dock (we were only informed of this by the shipping company at very short notice). The cancellation deadline had already expired, but Luis agreed to a cancellation with GYG. We found this to be sensationally accommodating and were very pleased. Unfortunately, we couldn't go on the tour, but if you evaluate the communication, then we are sure: Luis and TukTuk are 100% recommended! Absolutely TOP!

Wonderful trip - Had a wonderful couple of hours with Andrea, the driver. She was very informative, and a careful driver. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the little streets of the old town and the Botanical Gardens. Highly recommend. Madeira is a wonderful island. Well done Andrea and Tukway. Thank you

Tuk Tuk tour - This was a brilliant tour would recommend to anyone. Our drivers Luis & Andria speak perfect English and know so many facts about Madeira. Perfectly safe drivers.

A truly unique experience. - Why go to the far east when you can experience a tuk tuk ride aroung Funchal ! I would strongly recommend booking before you travel or just after you arrive as it is a very popular tour and gets booked up days ahead. Andrea our guide was very knowledgeable. As well as giving a running commentary on places of interest she answered all our questions so well. It's a great way to spend a few hours without taking a whole day out of your holiday. I would definitely recommend this trip.

Tukway was awesome! - We had a fantastic time exploring Funchal with Andrea. She has outstanding knowledge about the area and good naturedly answered all of our questions. She has a great sense of humour and we enjoyed leaning about life in Funchal, We visited the Palheiro Gardens which were beautiful and at no point on the tour did we feel rushed. The sign up process was pretty straight forward and we had no issues. If you're in the area, go for a spin on a tuk tuk!

Tukway is Wonderful! - We were met by the wonderful Luis at our hotel where he arrived with his Tul-tuk,. He took us through Funchal along the marina and pointed out all the points of interest before we visited the old fort and we then climbed the tiny little roads up to Monte. We visited the church at the top and he then took us to the Toboggan run kiosk where we bought our tickets. The toboggan ride was brilliant fun and at the bottom, Luis was waiting for us. He then showed up a the old town and he pointed out all the important places along the way. The ride was interesting and comfortable and he was so friendly and knowledgeable. He over ran the allotted time by over 1/2 an hour free of charge. A wonderful way to see Madeira! We would thoroughly recommend Tukway tours.
