Car & Private Driver Tours in Funchal

7 tours · €23.25–€195 per person · ★ 4.9

A car tour is how you actually see Madeira out of Funchal, where the island is all switchback mountain roads and the best stuff sits an hour or two from the harbour. Book a Funchal car tour and a driver-guide takes the hairpins while you watch the laurel forest, cliffs and cloud roll past the window.

When you compare car tours in Funchal, decide which side of the island you want first. We'd send you west to Porto Moniz for the volcanic natural pools, the Seixal coast and the high plateau of Paul da Serra, ideally by jeep on the rougher tracks. Want one big sweep? A full-day private tour links Cabo Girao, Ribeira Brava and the Sao Vicente north coast in a single loop. Half-day routes stay near Funchal and Camara de Lobos; full-day ones cross to the east.

7 Funchal car tours from €23. Private and small-group jeep trips, half- and full-day with hotel pickup and free cancellation on most - easy to book online.
