--- title: Best 2 Luxury & VIP Tours in Funchal lang: en type: tour_collection city: Funchal country: Portugal tours: 2 price_from_eur: 310 reviews_total: 134 as_of: 2026-11-10 canonical: https://guidekin.com/portugal/funchal/luxury-tours/ --- # Best 2 Luxury & VIP Tours in Funchal > **Guidekin** is a hand-picked catalogue: we read every listing ourselves and keep only operators rated 4.5★ with 30+ traveler reviews. [How we choose tours](https://guidekin.com/how-we-choose-tours/) Catalogue data as of November 10, 2026. Our selection is built by rule, applied the same way in every city. We start from every Funchal tour in the Guidekin catalogue, each already rated at least 4.5 by 30 or more travellers, and keep only private tours at the premium end of the market. Private means the operator sells the tour as private and does not describe it as shared, semi-private or small-group, and the price we show is the price of a private booking: a tour whose cheapest ticket is a shared or semi-private group does not qualify. Premium means at least €150 per person for a party of two, and either a price in the top quarter of what Funchal tours cost or a true luxury format: yachts, helicopters, chauffeured cars, after-hours access, champagne, fine dining. Day tours only: multi-day trips, courses and lessons, self-drive buggies, quads, jet skis, dive trips, bike and tuk-tuk rides and party boats are not what a luxury traveller books, however much they cost, and they stay out together with transfers, one-way drives, treks, camping trips, photo shoots and proposals, as does anything sold in a language other than English. The 2 tours below are the top of that list by our rating, which weighs the average score by how many travellers gave it, with no more than two tours from one operator. The table compares the top ten (the whole list when it is shorter) on price, duration, group size, pickup, tickets, languages and cancellation terms. The list is recalculated as the catalogue changes: new tours, price updates and tours that fall below our bar move in and out on their own. ## Our selection compared: top 2 | # | Tour | Rating | Price | Duration | Group | Hotel pickup | Tickets | Meals | Languages | Cancellation | Confirmation | Start times | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | [Madeira Private Sunset Boat Tour from Funchal](https://guidekin.com/portugal/funchal/tours/madeira-private-sunset-boat-tour-from-funchal-2/?format=md) | 5.0★ (98) / Viator 37 · Tripadvisor 61 | €310 per person | 2h 30m | Private tour, your party only | No | Not included | Snacks | German, Portuguese, English +2 | Free cancellation | Manual | — | | 2 | [Half-Day Boat Trip Madeira Funchal- Private Yacht Snacks & Drinks](https://guidekin.com/portugal/funchal/tours/half-day-boat-trip-madeira-funchal-private-yacht-snacks-drinks/?format=md) | 5.0★ (36) / Viator 1 · Tripadvisor 35 | €550 per group | 4h | Private tour, your party only | No | Not included | Snacks | English | Free cancellation | Instant | 10:00, 14:30 | ## All 2 tours, ranked by Guidekin score | # | Tour | Collections | Price | Rating | Duration | Runs | Details | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | [Madeira Private Sunset Boat Tour from Funchal](https://guidekin.com/portugal/funchal/tours/madeira-private-sunset-boat-tour-from-funchal-2/?format=md) | | €310 per person | 4.99 (98) | 2h 30m | daily | private · up to 15 · free cancel · en/es/de/pt/hu | | 2 | [Half-Day Boat Trip Madeira Funchal- Private Yacht Snacks & Drinks](https://guidekin.com/portugal/funchal/tours/half-day-boat-trip-madeira-funchal-private-yacht-snacks-drinks/?format=md) | | €550 per group/vehicle | 4.97 (36) | 4h | daily 10:00–14:30 | private · up to 15 · free cancel · instant · en | ## Why each made the list - **Madeira Private Sunset Boat Tour from Funchal** — A private sunset sailing from Funchal for your own group only, with snacks, water and alcoholic drinks on board and a chance of dolphins, whales or turtles along the coast.
