“Really good trip. Definitely worth the money. Me and my family are really happy and had a great time.”
Taste Funchal on a four-hour food and wine walk with local guides, Madeiran specialities, poncha, history, and generous tastings.
“This was an excellent tour! There was plenty of food, wine, and cultural information, just as promised. Everything was delicious and our guide was very well informed and answered all our extra questions. Just don't make the mistake we did and eat light all day expecting to eat often and a lot based on food tours we have done in other locations. The 4pm tour starts with drinking and doesn't get to dinner until much later. There was plenty of food, but we had too much to drink first on our empty stomachs. We would have planned better if we had known that ahead of time.”
Taste Funchal on a four-hour walk with Madeira food, wine, market treats, local history, poncha, and plenty of practical tips.
“Our first ever Food & Wine tour and it was really good. Anna was a wonderful guide, as we walked from tasting to tasting she showed us the history of Funchal & Madeira itself which was just what we hoped for. The tour lasted for four hours and we were definitely full by the end. There was a good mix of types of food to experience, accompanied by wine & coffee - delicious! Added bonus was meeting the others doing the tour and chatting with them as we walked around - you knew you at least share a love of food as a starting point! Overall 10/10 and well worth…”

Review of Madeira’s 8-hour tour to Cabo Girão, Nun’s Valley, Madeira wine tasting, and dolphin watching from Funchal.
“We had a fantastic day on this tour. Our 4x4 driver was brilliant and made the ride so much fun - we loved being able to stand up in the car and experience a little bit of off road driving. We saw some fantastic views, tried traditional homemade Poncha, braved the glass floor at Cabo Girao and also got to try some Madeira wine. All in all was a great day. The second part of the day felt a bit disconnected as we were left for some awkward free time and to find the boat tour ourselves, this was a bit confusing as we were unsure which company the boat…”
