MADEIRA · CHRISTMAS
Good christmas tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 2 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Ride through Funchal in a classic VW Beetle cabriolet with a local guide such as Miguel or Rodolfo. See the cathedral, old town, market, gardens, sea avenue, and hillside views glowing with Christmas lights. The 75-minute private tour includes hotel or cruise-terminal pickup and drop-off.
“Fantastic tour to see the wonderful Xmas lights in a terrific vintage beetle. Would thoroughly recommend.”
Ride through Funchal in a private open-top vintage Volkswagen Beetle while a local guide points out the city’s Christmas displays, Old Town streets, Farmers Market, and hotel areas. The tour lasts about 75 minutes, includes pickup in Funchal, and is offered in English with two departure times.
“We had around an hour's tour of the main and side streets of Funchal in an open-top vintage Volkswagen Beetle. It was great fun, particularly as I owned one many years ago. Our driver/owner (Rudolph) told us what to look at and further details of buildings etc. The lights were absolutely amazing!”
Pick a coast, a ridge or a cellar.
