Great experience in Madeira - We had a great time with Marco. They picked us up right next to our cruise ship. Marco was very polite and knowledgeable about Madeira and Funchal.

Tour of Nun’s Valley, Pico dos Barcelos, Eira do Serrano. - This was a 3 - 4 hour tour with 3 stop off points with stunning views of the island and the Nuns Valley. At the final stop there was an opportunity to sample local wines and spirits. There are toilets and refreshments available and shops to buy souvenirs. Our tour guide Marco was excellent and very knowledgeable about all aspects of the tour and history of the island. He was very friendly and made us feel very welcome.
