We are coming to Madiera on a cruise on 28 April 2009. Any thoguhts on a taxi tour . We have only about 5 hours. Would like to see some of the island. My wife and I have been to Madiera before and remember it very fondly. The other couple travelling with us were never in Madiera.

We were there a couple of years ago and just walked from the cruise port to downtown and found a good place to eat and drink. There is a gondola that will take you to the top of the ridge above town that gives a great view of the harbor and town. We were coming off six days at sea so to walk was good.

Although lots of cruise guests just go on the Cable car, but obviously it gets very busy when ships are in or wander around the gardens in the city, the company's below do tours especially designed for cruise guests, have a look at their websites before you decide.
