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!

Wonderful tasting with good tips - Roberto was a very experienced, friendly guide. We really recommend him. The tastings were really good and also the stories about the city. You should come with an empty stomach 🙂

Great food & wine tour, would recommend it early in your trip, - This was a really excellent way to start our first visit to Madeira. Our guide, Isabel, was informative, knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. The food & drink we tasted were great and we had a nice small , mixed group to spend a very pleasant few hours with.

Superb Introduction to Madeira - This was more than just a food and wine tour. Roberto, our guide, informed us as we walked about the city and island. The stops were all superb with meaningful samples throughout. Drink types were Madeira (Blandy's), wine, beer, soft and Poncho (lethal) all local. The food varied from chocolates to Scabbard Fish (one extreme to another) - again all well presented and tasty. A trip to the market to taste the various local fruits was excellent. Recommended with a fantastic guide - Roberto.

Understand the best of Funchal’s food, wine and history. - We greatly enjoyed our tour with Roberto, and learned so much about both Funchal and Madeira’s food, wine and history. This tour takes you to so many places that you wouldn’t find yourself and there is lots of great food and drink to sample and history to experience along the way. Roberto is an excellent guide, speaking fantastic English and bringing a lot of fun and laughs to the journey. Would highly recommend.

One tour not to miss! - This was a very enjoyable way to spend a morning in the company of the very interesting and knowledgeable guide Roberto. I would highly recommend as we visited places we would never have found on our own.

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

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.
