We booked the 24‑hour hop‑on hop‑off and ended up doing it twice in one day (morning + late afternoon) to catch different lighting for photos. The route to Câmara de Lobos was a highlight — the village was charming and not too touristy. Recommended for a first‑day outing.

Our tip: start at the first bus around 9:30 am to make the most of the 24 h window, and head straight to Câmara de Lobos before it gets busy. We found fewer people there in the morning and the light was better for photos. The bus back via the coast was relaxing and scenic.

For someone who doesn’t rent a car, the 2‑in‑1 Yellow Bus hop‑on hop‑off is a smart move in Madeira. It got us to places we might not have seen otherwise, at a pace that wasn’t frantic. We hopped off at the market in Funchal, then again at the viewpoint above the city. Very enjoyable.

We were only in Madeira for 24 hours and chose the Yellow Bus tour to maximise our time. It didn’t disappoint — clean bus, clear commentary, plenty of stops. The top deck views were especially useful for spotting landmarks and orienting ourselves. Good choice.

Great introduction to Madeira. The Yellow Bus tour let us jump on at the marina stop in Funchal, ride out to Câmara de Lobos, explore at our leisure, then return. Having the flexibility to ride as much as we wanted within 24 hours felt liberating. The audio commentary and the occasional bonus stops added value. We’ll use it again next trip.

Easy to use, well-organized, and great views from the top deck. We especially enjoyed the ride along the coast. The audio guide was available in several languages and gave great context to what we were seeing.
