This tukxi tour takes you to Monte – one of Madeira's most easy-on-the-eye mountain towns. Wander among beautiful blooms in the public gardens and visit Our Lady of Monte Church – final resting place of Austria's last emperor. And if you like a bit of adventure, there's the option of a wicker toboggan ride downhill to Livramento, too.

We enjoyed everything. The driver explained everything. He knew exactly what was going on. He took us around the older parts of the Town. He was extremely knowledgeable. He shared his love for Funchal and the Island, Madeira. A worthwhile trip..not to be missed.

What a great experience. João Silva, ‘John’ our driver on our Monte Tukxi Tour was excellent! His English was brilliant & throughout our 2 hour tour, his driving was so safe & nothing too much trouble. He took us all over Funchal & his historical and factual knowledge of the city was great. He showed us all the specific places we asked about & took us up the mountain, to do Toboggan run & met us again at the bottom. Such a special way to tour Funchal. Would highly recommend! Thank you!

Unser Driver Tiago , der perfekt Deutsch sprach , war wunderbar . Zugewandt, informativ, humorvoll! Ein tolles Erlebnis im klapperigen Fahrzeug.

We had a lovely tour with our Guide would highly recommend… we wanted a stop for the toboggan and it all worked perfectly thanks to our wonderful Guide/driver.

Easy to book, ontime for collection. Knowledgeable guide. Took us to the places we wanted to bee. Very enjoyable and good value. Good recommendation by the rep.

It was brilliant to see the cobbled streets that would have been missed by a hop on hop off bus. Our guide was lovely and we saw out of the way village and backstreets.
