If you want a stress‑free way to see two of Madeira’s highlights in a day, this is it. The bus arrived regularly (about every 30‑45 minutes as advertised), and we appreciated the freedom to hop off and back on. The open‑top upper deck gave amazing photo opportunities of Funchal’s bay and the coastal cliffs. For the price, excellent value.

Excellent option if you want to avoid renting a car but still see a lot. The route was well planned, with plenty of stops at interesting places. Plus, we didn’t have to worry about parking — just hop on and go!

One tip: start early. We caught the first bus around 9:30 am, got ahead of crowds, and used the pass to return later when things were quieter. The Yellow Bus route covered just the right mix of city + coast + hillside for our one‑day stay. Friendly drivers, too.

What stood out was how easy everything was: one ticket, clear stops, and decent commentary. For the price we felt it offered good value. We used it to scout locations, then later returned to our favourite stop for lunch.

Travelling with our two children, the open‑top deck of the Yellow Bus was fun, and we appreciated that the bus route took us up into the hills around Funchal with sweeping views of coast and cliffs. It gave us time to explore without stressing about how to get back.

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.
