“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…”

“We booked this tour for the second day on our short mid week break. I always book a food / walking tour in every city and country I travel to and this tour was up there as one of the best. Robert was an excellent guide. We not only discovered the amazing history of Madeira and the city of Funchal but had some lovely food and drink. We covered quite a lot in the time that we had. Stops included chocolate, cake Madeira, fruit and some amazing fish. You would not necessarily find these places by just wandering. What a great experience, thanks Robert!”

“Excellent tour with fun and very entertaining Hugo, was one of highlights of our trip. Everything was interesting, the skywalk was amazing and also all the scenery. The trip for the wine tasting which was included was also good. He gave everyone much information about the island and on the way back recommended restaurants to go to in Funchal. One restaurant we went to was the best we found, it was Taberna Ruel and we ate there twice. I highly recommend this trip and especially the driver of the jeep, Hugo.”

There are several wines to taste and an option to enjoy more wine after the presentation. Miguel, our driver, kept us entertained and he also was flexible and accommodating. We were served a small charcuterie board with meat and cheese. There definitely could have been a bit more food(fruit and bread). However, there is an option to purchase an additional board and chips. Water must be purchased or you can bring your own. My sister and I highly recommend this…”
