Great German-speaking TukTuk tour
We were looking for a TukTuk tour for our stay in Madeira. Since our child is 9 years old, we were looking for a German-speaking tour. Through a link from our hotel, we became aware of Tukxi and were able to book easily. We made the booking directly through Tukxi.pt.
The pickup took place directly at our hotel in Funchal. The tour with our German-speaking driver was very informative and he had very good background knowledge! He had a safe and considerate driving style!
We felt well taken care of and regret that we did not book a tour through them at the beginning of our vacation. Since I drove the rental car on vacation, I also got to enjoy admiring the landscape from a "non-driver's perspective" with this tour.

Beautiful unusual day out in Madeira
We wanted a trip out of Funchal to see a different part of Madeira. Our guide Francisco was absolutely wonderful sharing a lot of knowledge and history of the places we went to.
We got some stunning views and the good weather meant we had a good view of the peaks from the middle of the nun's valley.
Do try the chestnut bread, you won't be able to easily get it anywhere else.
