“I think that having the route map of all the red and blue stops available online or in this add would have been very helpful. The maps available were only about the meeting points and not the route itself. I was lucky there was this very nice company rep at the Lido stop who guided me better. Also it should highlight that to get to the Jardim Botánico one should take not the first but the second cable car as one might end up taking the Funchal cable instead.”
