Meet Virgílio

I’m Virgílio, born and raised in Madeira. After five years driving Tuk-Tuks, I started my own business to share the island’s streets, stories and viewpoints. I guide tours in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

What guests say

“Virgílio is not only an excellent driver who knows his home island very well, but also an entertaining companion.”

FAQ

Where’s pickup and drop-off?

Anywhere you like within Funchal. Pickup at the cruise terminal adds €5 per Tuk-Tuk: tick that option on the tour page and tell me your ship’s arrival and departure times. More for cruise passengers.

Will Virgílio be my guide?

Usually, yes. Groups of 4–6 ride in two Tuk-Tuks, and the second one is driven by a colleague I trust. On very busy days, a colleague may also guide your tour; if that happens, I’ll let you know before the tour.

Can I cancel or change plans?

Yes. Direct bookings have no prepayment and no cancellation fee. Just let me know on WhatsApp or by email, ideally at least 24 hours before. Bookings made on a platform follow that platform’s terms.

What if the weather is bad?

Madeira’s weather changes quickly, and a shower doesn’t always mean cancelling. If conditions aren’t right, we can switch to another tour of similar length and price, or find a new date together. We agree on this with you before the tour starts.
