4.Funchal: City Sightseeing Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 627 reviews · 1 - 2 days · from $29Best value

Use Funchal’s red route for city sights and coastal views, then choose the 48-hour ticket for the blue route to Monte, Jardim do Imperador, walking tours, and a night ride. Multilingual audio, wine tasting, discounts, and a port shuttle add practical value.

“Attentive employees. We purchased the additional shuttle back to the ship. An employee asked what we needed and immediately escorted us across the street and ensured we got the shuttle. Lovely ride. Great taste and overview. If you purchase both red and blue routes - leave yourself plenty of time to get both in.”
