The bus doesn't have a clear schedule and they say it comes every 30 min but there is not every day the same program. After a specific time it only comes every 40 min. Once we waited from 9:35 until 10:10, next day it came around 9:45 and we were there at 9:25 as we thought in the first day we missed it Other than that the time it relatively short from 9:30 to 5 pm ( but probably only at some stations they cover all the time ) . The tour itself is nice but we didn't want to take a chance hopping on and off not knowing when we get the next one so we just did one tour completely and we used it in the other day once to get to the city ( with normal bus costs 2 eur and it's much faster as there are a lot of buses you can take) . All in one it is only worth it if you want to take a round trip and maybe just for one day. The round trip takes almost 2 hours. Bring your headphones with a jack if you want otherwise you get some from the bus but they are really uncomfortable in my opinion.

We found the yellow bus great, stopped outside our hotel, we bought the 5 day pass and used it everyday to get into Funchal. Did the Funchal tour twice, it’s amazing what you see second time around. Câmara dos Lobos is beautiful and well worth a visit.The commentary is easy to understand Wish we had been given the information leaflet when we bought the tickets but other than that great value for money. Drivers are polite and helpful. Would buy this ticket again if I were to visit Funchal again.

Took the tour to see the city as well as a visit to Camara de Lobos, which is a small fishing village along the coast. Really enjoyed it, we stopped in CdeL for a few hours and found the place very nice. Took the bus back to the Forum Shopping Centre and a visit to the promenade near the Lido. Back on the bus to return to Funchal and the trip took about 5 hrs in total. It can be as short as 1.5 hrs or as long as you want.

My mother and I came with a cruise ship to Funchal, and having been there on holiday before we opted for the hop-on hop-off Yellow Bus Tour (€17 pp.). Upon buying tickets we were told that the bus came every 25 minutes (we later read 35 minutes in the brochure). We were early ashore, and no one informed us that the bus did not start driving before 45 minutes later. We quickly found out, but were then told that the first bus was “full”. We then noticed that the bus company had lent several buses to cruise tours, and were thus probably driving on “low capacity” in their normal service. We finally got a bus, and did half the round before finding a stop to explore further. As the bus did not have a timetable, we just waited patiently once we were done. For 20 minutes, 40 minutes, 50 minutes… After 57 minutes the bus finally came – completely full, but “luckily” the driver allowed us to stand the rest of the trip. Which obviously meant that we did not get the audio guide (not a huge loss…) – and were uncomfortable the entire trip. We didn’t dare to explore any more stops either as we could not rely on the bus – and needed to be back at port in time for departure. A huge disappointment.
As another reviewer suggests: take a normal bus - they are reliable, punctual and you see just as much...

The timing for the buses is only available for stop 1 at the city center. If you get on in between - good luck guessing when the bus will come. I was trying to calculate the time of arrival, added some margin and we waved our bus that was already past the stop. We had to wait for the next one for 30+ minutes.
When the next bus came the top deck was full - had to take seats at the bottom all way to Camara de Lobos. All the way noone got off the bus single time to not loose time and seat.
On our way back we've just came to the stop and waited for a bus again. 35 minutes wasted.
All that service is for 17 euro per adult. Oh come on! I'll take a city bus next time - at least they do have predictable schedule and you can plan your journey. And that will cost 2.50 euros round trip.

This is an absolute must to do in Funchal. Bus stop was about 100 yards from our hotel. Didn't have to pre- book. Stayed on bus for the duration of the tour ( approx 1 hour 30 minutes). Great buildings and scenery. Could have gone round again!

Very typical hop on bus experience. Pity they don't have an app on Android or iOS to track the buses. And help with planning. Would be much easier and improve the long waits. Good to get a perspective of the whole city.

It was an ok trip. Ticket sales team were very good and very helpful.
The trip itself is average, the information at times was not in sync with where we were and for some random reason it stopped near the end for 15 minutes and only 2 people got on. I presume it was running ahead and needed to drag out the time.
If its a rainy day, maybe do it but I feel you could see most of it yourself.

Great tour, especially if you usually are driving yourself and can now enjoy town without watching traffic. The hop on hop off is great and the information via headphones was very interesting. Recommendable experience to get a feeling for the city

Hi!, can you tell me more about this stop and the Glass Viewing Platform?. If I take this Hop On hop Off, where should I hop off?. We are a family with kids. Is it easy to reach this place?. Thanks!
Pour les visites de Câmara de Lobes et Funchal, Est ce que le bus jaune est accessible aux personnes handicapées, en fauteuil roulant ?
