Funchal Old Town & Botanical Garden Private Tuk Tuk Tour

The gardens themselves are really nice with lots of botanical specimens. Easy to get to either by bus or by two cable cars. lovely to walk around and some great views down into Funchal. The thing which let it down for me was the toilets. WCs had seats missing and the urinals, two were covered in plastic bags . in the men's loo not only was there no seats but the flushing mechanism was broken. No toilet paper or hand towels.

The tuk-tuk picked us up at the port and took us to the Botanical Garden. We had an hour there to explore it on our own (no guide at the garden). We were then taken back to town and at our request dropped off at the city square. We had a great view of the city and the harbour, from the back of the tuk-tuk. Would recommend if you are looking for transportation to the garden, but not a guided tour.

The two drivers we had (2 couples) were excellent very accommodating and knowledgeable, we all enjoyed the tour immensely, would definitely book again

Rui was very informative and tour commentary was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed our outing. Maderia , Funchal was a delightful place to visit.

Amazing gardens on a steep hill side. Incredible views down to Funchal. The succulents are spectacular!

Andrea was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. The Botanical gardens were beautiful and trip up and down was fun. The tour was interesting.

Had a wonderful couple of hours with Andrea, the driver. She was very informative, and a careful driver. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the little streets of the old town and the Botanical Gardens. Highly recommend. Madeira is a wonderful island. Well done Andrea and Tukway. Thank you

This was a brilliant tour would recommend to anyone. Our drivers Luis & Andria speak perfect English and know so many facts about Madeira. Perfectly safe drivers.

Why go to the far east when you can experience a tuk tuk ride aroung Funchal ! I would strongly recommend booking before you travel or just after you arrive as it is a very popular tour and gets booked up days ahead. Andrea our guide was very knowledgeable. As well as giving a running commentary on places of interest she answered all our questions so well. It's a great way to spend a few hours without taking a whole day out of your holiday. I would definitely recommend this trip.

We had a fantastic time exploring Funchal with Andrea. She has outstanding knowledge about the area and good naturedly answered all of our questions. She has a great sense of humour and we enjoyed leaning about life in Funchal, We visited the Palheiro Gardens which were beautiful and at no point on the tour did we feel rushed. The sign up process was pretty straight forward and we had no issues. If you're in the area, go for a spin on a tuk tuk!

We were met by the wonderful Luis at our hotel where he arrived with his Tul-tuk,. He took us through Funchal along the marina and pointed out all the points of interest before we visited the old fort and we then climbed the tiny little roads up to Monte. We visited the church at the top and he then took us to the Toboggan run kiosk where we bought our tickets. The toboggan ride was brilliant fun and at the bottom, Luis was waiting for us. He then showed up a the old town and he pointed out all the important places along the way. The ride was interesting and comfortable and he was so friendly and knowledgeable. He over ran the allotted time by over 1/2 an hour free of charge. A wonderful way to see Madeira! We would thoroughly recommend Tukway tours.

Our driver Luis was great really friendly and informative would highly recommend Tukway for a great trip we’ll worth the money

Excellent arrangement by Madeira TukTuk to stop by souvenir shops before returning to the ship.

The park of the Botanical Garden 15€ is not worth the Tropical Garden 10€ a little higher.There is still the Cactus space to see, the view of the highway, so a little noisy and the parking very small. Take an Uber instead of the cable car, it will cost you 5€ from the center of Funchal.

We had booked the Old Town/Botanical Garden tour with pick-up at the cruise terminal. Before we arrived, we had great communication with our guide Luis, who kept us well informed about the process via WhatsApp. Unfortunately, on the day of arrival, the harbor pilots in Funchal went on strike, meaning our ship couldn't dock (we were only informed of this by the shipping company at very short notice). The cancellation deadline had already expired, but Luis agreed to a cancellation with GYG. We found this to be sensationally accommodating and were very pleased. Unfortunately, we couldn't go on the tour, but if you evaluate the communication, then we are sure: Luis and TukTuk are 100% recommended! Absolutely TOP!
