“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…”

“ShutUpAndEatMadeira takes tours to another level. We where on the second Espetada tour they did and it was a great experience. Knowing them i guess it will only get better. We enjoyed the company of Fabio (guide) and Jaki from ShutUpAndEatMadeira. Going to the outskirts of Funchal, drinking the best ponchas and having great bites (dentinhos) in local bars, was wonderfull. De tour takes you to some must see spots in and around Funchal. Doing this during sunset is a plus. The Espetada restaurant was a real local place no tourists except us. Food was great. Go and enjoy an evening with great company at local bars and restaurants, away…”
