we booked a tut via the hotel on 9th of jan, enjoyed so much booked another for the 10th. great fun, great knowledge. the 2 drivers brill, great fun. would highly recommend and so worth the money, you see so much more of the area.

we had a lovely tour by tukxi up through funchal and into the mountains , there was just the two of us , which is the main reason for booking , that and the novelty of the vehicle , it was just perfect !! we was collected from the cruise port by a lovely friendly and knowledgeble guide , he seemed to genuinely enjoy his job and had a wide depth of history and key facts about the places we visited , he made sure we wasn't rushed and the whole tour felt just right , we also had the chance to visit an old fort , again we was dropped right off in the grounds , and the guide got some lovely photos for us , it was a lot of fun and so much more personal than a bus tour , i would consider this kind of tour again around a different part if we returned , and of course the added bonus about pre - booking was the collection right from outside where the cruise ship dock , funchal town itself is a good 20 minute walk , so it was nice to have it all organised and confirmed before our holiday .
