Now this is how you should tour. No cramped buses. Amazing day out, loads of time at each location. Never felt rushed. The trike was great. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to see Funchal and surrounding areas.

A spectacular way to see Funchal and the surrounding area! If you select this tour, you will be the envy of your fellow travelers. Being on a Trike provides you with the security of a stable, comfortable and sturdy platform while allowing you panoramic exposure to the sights and smells of Funchal. You just can't get this experience from a bus, car, or jeep! The area is beautiful with a rich history. Along the way, John provided us with interesting facts about Funchal and the Madeira countryside. We made a few stops including a local eatery where we experienced a Madeiran drink known as a Pancha. (try it ... trust me) This experience made the Mrs. and I want to come back to Funchal! When we do, we will definitely call Adventure Trikes Tours!!
