Exceptional day - Extremely well organised trip being collected and dropped off at bus stop opposite our Hotel. The tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable regarding the history of the Island and the Monte garden. The flora and forna was breathtaking. The cable car trip going up gave spectacular views over Funchal and the optional wicker basket toboggan ride back down was an experience not to be missed. (The only negative being you can only pay in cash) which we discovered as one of us had to dash off to find ATM. The whole experience was a great experience and the 4 hours was packed full of adventure. We would wholeheartedly recommend this excursion.

Tropical Garden with Panoramic Views - Jardim Monte Palace and Garden is a venue that has something for everyone from meticulously maintained and well planned gardens, winding pathways, statues, art, water features, koi fish, historical references, sculptures, paintings, tiled mosaics, copious amounts of flora and fauna all with panoramic views. There is a photographic opportunity around every corner. Wear comfortable shoes and be mindful of uneven surfaces and areas of steep incline. Changes in weather happened quickly dress in layers and bring an umbrella, a raincoat or a poncho. Allow several hours to properly explore the venue.  It is ideal for everyone, families, couples, and solo explorers alike. We use the Funchal Monte Cable Car to arrive and depart. That in and of itself is an experience everyone must have at least once. At 15€ per person exploring Jardim Monte Palace and Gardens is time well spent in Madeira.

Amazing. - Beautiful! To do! Soothing, out of time. Between fauna, flora, precious stones, paintings... I highly recommend!

Beautiful - A beautiful garden with different places, we loved Japanese gardens, walk in the shade of big trees, discover exhibitions. Have a drink well installed on the terrace.Plan to spend 2h to 3h to enjoy it well

Fantastic gardens - Fantastic gardens and great view over Funchal. The view from the cable car was disappointing, mainly over houses and roads. Not recommended unless your are going to go into the gardens.

Great experience. - The view is amazing. It's definitely a must do. The guide was very informative. My favorite was the cable car.

Beautiful and tropical garden - Beautiful and amazing garden. The garden was very clean and well kept. Our tour guide was fabulous. She was very pleasant and informative.

Beautiful - Fantastic beautiful tropical place although the trip was quite rushed with the tour guide rushing around her part.

Garden to visit in Funchal - Very beautiful garden, well maintained, interesting to visit, very close to Monte. As everything in Funchal has a very steep slope, the visit is obviously done from top to bottom, but the pleasant thing is that anyone who wants to has transport that takes them to the entrance. Very close to the cable car

Lovely morning walk - Lovely garden to walk through and feel as one with nature... Tour guide was very informative. Very scenic.
