A wander round Funchal - Very informative walking tour,We have been to Funchal many times,but still learned a lot with our guide,Luis.We covered a lot in 2 hours,and found the tour to be excellent value for money.

Great experience in Funchal - My boyfriend and I stayed our last days of our trip in Funchal and decided to go for a walking tour with a tasting of Madeira’s famous wine included! We are very happy that we have chosen the tour with Luís! He is just great! We were lucky to have a private tour with him which made it very personal and private obviously :)! Luís shows you great selected places, explains all the facts and history and answers all your questions about the island, traditions and usual life in Madeira! We really enjoyed our three hours with him and can just recommend it! The wine tour was also very interesting and the tasting very tasty :D! Thanks Luís! It was a pleasure to meet you and a great last experience on this beautiful island!

Great Introduction to Funchal - This walking tour was our introduction to Funchal. Luis skilfully guided us through city centre and old town. He included history and current information. We visited the Farmers Market where we learned about passion fruit, were awed by the fish mongers, delighted in amazing chocolate and enjoyed the beautiful flowers. Following his tour, we then proceeded to Blandy’s. Here we learned about Madeiran wine - it’s unique! This segment of the tour ended with a wine tasting. If this is your first visit to Madeira, I’d recommend touring with Luis.

Worth it! - Had a great time! The tour was really nice and calm, a good local view of the area. The tour guide was knowledgable and helpful, speaks very good English and was a generally a really nice guy.

Fantastic, interesting and inside local knowledge - As arranged I was collected from my hotel, who arrived on time. It turned out I was the only one on the tour. I was driven into town then we started our walk. Although it’s not my first visit to Funchal, I was taken to places I’d not know of. Visiting inside the cathedral was extremely special, I really didn’t know how interesting the history was also I was pointed out certain thins I may have missed. A truly memorable experience. Everything ran to time, whilst walking I got to understand what living in Maderia is like first hand. Sometimes we need to know about real life in countries we visit, we get the full experience. Very good English, interesting and I felt as a solo tourist completely safe. Finished off at Blandys which was where we parted company. After an excellent tour and tasting session! My guide was waiting for me outside, although I chose to say in Funchal him coming back was very comforting to me to have options. I highly recommend doing this tour, there can be many things that are missed when you are on your own.

Very Interesting and Beautiful Tour - We made this tour with Luís and it was amazing, we visited many interesting places in Funchal, Old Cookies Factory with very tasty honey cake. And we loved the Old Town Doors and Streets. The Madeira Wine was also very very good.

The Non Tour - Although I say I wouldn't recommend this 'experience' in the name of fairness we didn't actually get the full tour. After agreeing to change the day from Friday to the Saturday because of staffing issues, it soon became apparent (and confirmed by the company later) Our guide, pleasant as he was, didnt usually do this tour (and was not very informative or a loud speaker.) Half way round we were told we wouldn't be able to do the tour and tasting at 'Blandys' because they were fully booked. (Admin Blunder)Instead we were taken to 'Doliveiras.' to do some tasting there which lasted about 30 minutes. I will point out we were given a refund for the cost of Blandys non tour. While I appreciate the company were trying to fulfil there obligation the Blandys visit was a big part of the tour which we missed. I would like to think when done properly this would be a good tour but for us it was a waste of time and money and I wish I had cancelled.
