Private chauffeur in Funchal
Capital of Madeira, Funchal tiers its subtropical gardens, quintas and seafront at the foot of mountains plunging into the Atlantic. Your private chauffeur in Funchal knows the island’s steep roads, the Cabo Girão viewpoints and the coastal villages: airport transfers, full-day hire, drop-offs as close as possible to the sites. Sedans and 4x4s depending on the route, fixed prices, English-speaking chauffeurs on request.
Madeira is best discovered on day trips from Funchal. The Paul da Serra plateau, the UNESCO-listed laurel forests, the natural pools of Porto Moniz and the levadas are reached by demanding mountain roads. With a chauffeur hire, your driver links viewpoints, Madeira wine tastings and village lunches while you enjoy the volcanic landscape.
