Definitely book this tour! Our tour guide, Luis, was great and very happy to show us Funchal! We saw things we would not have on our own and his explanations of all the history, plants, and areas of the island were great. He picked us up right at the ship and dropped us back there as well. We learned so much and enjoyed the beautiful scenery as Luis easily navigated the small streets. He allowed us to walk inside of the cathedral and also do some quick shopping. We would definitely book again on a return visit to Funchal! Thank you Luis for an amazing tour!

I highly recommend this tour! It was amazing and a great way to see a lot of Funchal in just a couple hours. Our tour guid Andrea was wonderful so full of information and such a kind warm person. We missed our connection coming into Funchal so we missed our original tour time. I messaged Luis the owner and he was kind enough to reschedule the tour for us. Not many companies are that gracious. It is worth every penny and I cannot say enough how much we enjoyed seeing Funchal this way. It was worth every penny and more!

The brilliant tour guide was brilliant and a safe driver. He managed to get us around the city and to the top part of the city in his TukTuk. Drove through some of the back streets and saw things that we would have missed. Never once did the tour guide look at the time and even added an extra stop. I asked him to take me to a good Poncha bar and he did.

Luis and Andrea were charming and very accommodating. Andrea speaks very good French and has a lot of knowledge. She was also very patient with our 3 year old Bormut. we booked a 2nd tour to relax discovering this wonderful island

Luis was a great guide, super open and funny and gave lots of tips on restaurants and bars, told a lot about the island and it was fun. The tour can be recommended unreservedly. Gladly again.
