Top Funchal Christmas

Funchal's Christmas lights are incredible, and this tour is such a special way to see them. Rudolph was a superb guide, and the lovely car was comfy and cosy. Probably as close as you can get to a sleigh ride. 🙂 The work that goes into creating the spectacular light displays is so impressive, and Rudolph was a font of knowledge as we whizzed around the streets. If you have struggled to walk up any of the hills you will be really impressed at how nimble and light the car is! We loved the different styles of lights, it's lovely that they have kept some of the traditional style of lights to appreciate the heritage. If you're in Funchal from December to 7th January, this tour is not to be missed and will be a highlight of your trip.

Gets a bit cold, wrap up warm, fabulous trip. Lights are super and Rudolph our driver very friendly and informative. Highly recommended . Car a great experience xx

The lights in Funchal are off the scale and this trip gave us the perfect opportunity to enjoy them. It was pouring with rain so sadly we didn't get the top down experience but the little VW Beetle gamely took us up and down the hills. Our driver, Rodolfo, was lovely, friendly and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Our Mikel was excellent, took us around different parts of the city we would normally not have seen, Tour was over one hour and excellent value for money

As my husband has mobility problems it was a great way to see the lovely lights of Funchal in all their glory Perfect for us on this occasion

We were picked up promptly from the cruise dock , unfortunately the weather was very wet and windy so we were unable to have the top down in the car🙁Rodolfo our guide was excellent with interesting local knowledge about the area.The lights are amazing and we would have loved to have got out in the old town to explore further but as the weather was that bad we returned to the cruise port.The tour is excellent value and would highly recommend as something different to experience in beautiful Madeira.If the later time slots are available I would suggest going for that as the 6.30 slot was very busy traffic.Thank you Rodolfo for a lovely experience 😊

Very interesting tour around Funchal to view the Xmas lights. All good, nice conversations with driver regarding life on Madiera. Would recommend.

Had a lovely night out despite the weather. Really saw all the brilliant lights Funchal has to offer. Rodolpho was a careful and knowledgeable driver.

A great trip in a super little car with super commentary. If we come back we will certainly book other trips and loved the experience.

Very enjoyable hour, seeing the lights that we would never see on foot. We went down some back streets and out of the main city. Driver very informative.

We originally did the VW tour of the Christmas lights 2 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it, it's a fabulous way to see the Funchal lights with the top down. We took a tuk tuk tour last year and, although it was good, we gravitated back to this one again this year and it didn't disappoint. We spent time driving round the many beautifully lit streets of Funchal and even got a run up along the Lido area to The Forum before being dropped back at our hotel. If you're considering doing this, don't hesitate!

Lovely way to see Madeira Christmas lights with amazing views and a very knowledgeable guide. You can see much more with the open too. And a cool car too 😁

A great way to see the xmas lights in Funchal. Our guide took us on a comprehensive tour enabling us to marvel at the occasion

We were collected by Rudolf in his open top beetle car. Rudolf was lovely, told us about the lights and other things whilst on our tour. It was beautiful, a great way to see all the lights not just the main ones. Would highly recommend this trip for a great experience 😊xx

My wife and I enjoyed Funchal’s amazing Christmas lights from a lovely vintage VW. Rodolfo was an excellent driver and guide. Wrap up well as open top car can be chilly. Also maybe take a seat cushion for extra comfort. Would highly recommend this amazing trip.

Excellent trip, picked up from hotel and driven around roads we would never have got to. I would definitely recommend this trip, so glad we did it. Was pleased I had seen previous review and did have a hat and scarf with me as it did get a bit cool. Hopefully we will get there in 2026 and will definitely book again.
