By Tuktuking · listed in Funchal city tours: walking and tuk-tuk, plus the bus question
If Monte is your priority, I'd choose this trip. A local guide drives up the old roads and stops at viewpoints. You can book for one adult.
You have 15 minutes at the church and another 15 at the toboggans. The tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off. Budget separately for the toboggan ride.
Departures run from Mondays to Saturdays. Pick a time that fits the toboggan opening hours. Check the age limits below before you book.
