Journey to jaw-dropping viewpoints at Pico dos Barcelos and Eira do Serrado, and zoom along cliff-clinging roads to explore Nuns Valley – a hidden village concealed by Madeira's towering mountain peaks. This tukxi tour is an access-all-areas pass to some of Europe's best scenery.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with our excellent and very knowledgeable guide, Margarida. We would definitely recommend the Tukxi tours as a good way of getting around and seeing more.

A lovely, unusual and pleasant way to see the countryside. Very informative with a good guide who had a good local knowledge. A very unique place with lots of history.

Fantastic way to see the island - very knowledgeable & friendly guide. Next time, must remember to take a jacket - a lot cooler in the Nuns valley than by the sea!

Our 3rd Tukxi trip this holiday, and each has been good fun. This time we had Lydia as our driver. Lydia was a lovely guide and joined us for a coffee and chat in the Nun’s valley. I put my jacket in the back of the Tukxi but forgot it when we got back to the hotel; Lydia found my jacket and returned it. We loved the freedom and slow pace of the Tukxi tours, which allowed us to see much more than you can in a coach.

The tour surpassed our expectations with the tuk tuk taking us from our hotel out of Funchal and up into the hills at over 1000m with really amazing scenary. The tuk tuk was quite old and rather noisy but that added to the fun.

We liked everything about this. Ride in the Tukxi was fun. It was open topped and we could really enjoy the scenery without having to drive. The views were stunning. The driver was very friendly. His English was excellent and he was very knowledgeable. Excellent.
