A fun way to move around Funchal! - Great way to get a taste of Funchal and meet new people ,but you can also go solo as you can visit venues at your own pace even taking a break for a couple of hours before moving on.

Best foodie walking tour in Funchal - This tour in Funchal included primo picks of food establishments and highlighted creative artisans in the Madeiran culinary world. Funchal can be overwhelming when it comes to selecting a restaurant and finding the best of what the city has to offer.. This tour takes the guesswork out of making these choices and offers tasty bites and a pleasant stroll through the streets. Highly recommended! Thanks so much for an enjoyable afternoon!

A Wonderful Foodies Experience! - We had a fantastic afternoon discovering some great dishes and flavours of different combinations of food. Washed down with Poncha, Wine and Madeira Wine for those who chose! Soft drinks were also available. A wonderful way to explore the nooks and crannies of the city. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended - even for regular visitors to Funchal for the past 25 years - An absolutely wonderful way to spend 3 hours in Funchal - even if (like us) you have been visiting the island regularly for the past 25 years. We hoped to discover fresh new restaurants and foodie shops that we could weave in with our regular favourites and the event did not disappoint. Wonderful tapas and poncha, chocolates and Madeira wine, biscuits, cheese and wine and coffee and pastel de nata! We loved every minute and the check-in by the organiser was a lovely touch. Great to be able to move around at our own pace and everyone we visited was expecting us and treated us wonderfully well. Highly recommended.

Walking food tour(self guided) - Really good concept, enjoyed the fact that we could visit places at our own pace, the places Neil had picked were sent to us with directions, the food and drink places we visited were very good. Would do again.
