Ricky repeatedly tuktuk - We went with Ricky to Monte, then through the old town Funchal
It was a fun tour with Ricky on which he told us a lot and showed us about Funchal. Then he drove us even 20 minutes to our hotel. We can highly recommend Ricky and would go back with him anytime.

Ricardo was a great guide! - Our pick up at our hotel was punctual and our guide Ricardo was very informative,polite and a very nice man. We enjoyed our trip with him very much. We recommend this trip to Monte for the tobogganing . It was so much fun! Our old town trip was very interesting also! Our driver gave us time to shop and look around the market. Highly recommend.

Great couple of hours on a tuk tuk - Had a lovely ride in the tuk tuk with Ricardo who did some stops along the way up to Monte. He has a great sense of humour and we both throughly recommend using this tour as an alternative way to explore the Island. The tobogganing is 100% worth it and will set you back 35 euros for 2 people for the ride. I advise booking this tour early to avoid the queues. We booked 9:30am, this was only a 10 minute wait at the top. Stopped off in the farmers market on the way down and by the santa maria church for some photos. Give it a go, it's fun and doesn't take your whole day up

Tuktuk for Funchal toboggans & botanical gardens, visiting on cruise. - Booked this ahead of our cruise visit having used Viator on previous trips. Everything went like clockwork, our driver TukTuk driver Ricardo contacted us by text as we left the ship and was waiting for us exactly as described, at the port entrance. On our way up to the old town, he stopped at a lovey viewpoint and showed us some of the sights of Funchal, continuing the uphill climb on our way to the start of the toboggans, meeting us us some time later (after the queue) at the bottom station. He then took us on another route which took us back up the hill, so we could visit botanical gardens and return to the port at our leisure, (we actually walked back up through the gardens and returned on the cable car that departs near the entrance to the gardens). Would highly recommend this trip as a way of seeing some of the sights, backed up with Ricardos friendly and informative guidance. Its not just a 'taxi' ride to take the toboggans, its excellent value and if you take the trip early enough, avoids the queues (which get worse as the morning passes) and still allows you plenty of free time to walk through the town, all at a very reasonable price.

Boston Mass to Madeira with love - Great ride uo to MONTE to jump on the Toboggan ride down the hill (this is a must do )
Included during our tour a few pit stops and the farmers market and some look outs.
Our driver was Ricardo and we loved him ,he kept us safe and we amused each other.
So pleased we tipped $50 euros for the great 2 hours of fun.We ended up being dropped off at the cable cars (a must do)

Great trip 😃 - Lovely trip and a great way to see more of the island. Our guide was really helpful in advising us not to waste our time queuing for the basket ride as it would take several hours, he instead took us on a tour of the island. Great experience to travel in a Tuktuk around the narrow lanes and steep hills, scary at points!
All in all a good experience that gave us a glimpse of life in Madeira 😃
