Private Funchal City Tour by Tukxi

By Tukxi Madeira & Lisbon · listed in Funchal city tours: walking and tuk-tuk, plus the bus question

Our take

This suits a group that wants live commentary and a price per vehicle. A local guide drives your private tuk-tuk. I'd compare the harbour options if you're arriving by cruise ship.

You pass Quinta das Cruzes and the cathedral. The route continues past the market. A five-minute stop at Socorro viewpoint gives you time for photos. You also pass Municipal Square.

Choose the option for your party size and pickup. The combined passenger weight limit is 210 kg. Children must be at least 3.
