My partner and I used the Yellow Bus tour as our first thing in Madeira to get oriented. The audio commentary in English was pretty good, the stops were well‑placed, and we liked that we could hop off, explore a little, then hop back on. Great flexibility for one day.

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.

We chose the 24‑hour 2‑in‑1 route to cover Funchal + Câmara de Lobos and found it to be a smart decision. The information (via headphones) pointed out interesting sights we would otherwise have missed, like viewpoints and local history. The staff were courteous and the bus was clean and comfortable. Highly recommend for first‑time visitors.

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.
