The art of eating and drinking well in Madeira - Very interesting, relaxed, pedagogical. Our Guide, Roberto, knew a little about the whole story and typical food and beverages.
Morning that pleased children and graduates!

Great experience! - Having been to Madeira many times this tour took us to places we'd never been too or wouldn't have found. Matt was an excellent guide. Highly recommended!

Fantastic tour - Fantastic day with Roberto on the food and wine tour. We started by enjoying Madeira wine at Blandy’s wine lodge and then made our way around town trying chocolate, traditional biscuits, fish, pork, bolodo bread, more wine and local fruits. Roberto was knowledgeable and shared history, art and cultural information. We have been on food tours in numerous countries and this one was at the top of our list. Make sure you go with an empty stomach as there is a lot of food and drink to sample.

Excellent, informative tour - with a great selection of food and drink included - We enjoyed this tour from start to finish - being well-paced, fun and informative.
Having had a late arrival the previous day, this was our first introduction to Funchal and found it the perfect introduction to the city. Our guide, Enya (sp?), was engaging and paced the walking and talking well. We were pleasantly surprised at just how many stops for food and/or drink were involved along the way - and were satisfyingly well-fed by the end of it! As well us informing us about the city, its food, drink and culture, Enya gave us some handy tips to boot (such as how best to avoid the crowds!)
We'd happily have done the tour all over again!

Great tour, fabulous for and drink - Great tour, good well chosen stops and good samples of local food and drink. What would have really improved it would have been an opportunity at the start to quickly introduce each other in the group to build a sense of camaraderie

Disappointing. Not worth the money. - Unfortunately I would not describe this tour as a ‘food tour’. It started well at the brewery and there was a lot of information and opportunity to taste the Madeiran wine however it went down hill from there. The food we were given was measly e.g. a small packet with a bit of Madeira cake inside. And there was very little information about the food throughout. Some of it was really not pleasant (tough boiled pork on a plate to share with huge amounts of fat). The tour did drag running at 3h30 and I feel for £68.40 was not worth the money.

Don’t go! - A tourist trap. The tour was disorganized, the group waited around a lot, the food was terrible, and the guide was offensive at times. The only good part was a visit to Blandy’s winery, which had nice Madeira.
