Hi there! Nice to meet you

Sherryl

Before arriving here in Madeira I never thought I would find paradise.

This gem has proved me wrong.

I have climbed the highest mountains,

run through the farmers fields.....

Only to be with you, Madeira.

Brave enough to repell down 30 meter water falls....

Only but some of the epic adventures to experience while living on this island.

So many more reasons why you have to allow me to share my experience with you

And make your time a memorable one here in Paradise.

Not to mention all the wonderful appetising Maderian foods to try.

Look forward making new friends for life.

Normally I wouldn’t write a bad review, I just would skip it, however in this case I need to be honest. First of all, Sherryl is a very nice women, however she has only lived in Madeira for 3 years and does not seem to know Madeira very well. For instance, we toured with her on a Sunday and she didn’t know any opening times nor did she prepare a tour given things were shut down. Literally she pointed to a building and told us the name. She didn’t know the history, architecture or anything. I knew more from the guide book. We finally decided to leave half way thru to spend our time in better ways. Finally, there is nothing ‘off the beaten track’ in this tour. It’s 100% standard sites. The tour was a big disappointment due to her lack of knowledge.Left half-way thru

We had a wonderful 3-hour food tour around Funchal with Sherryl, booked through Withlocals. The weather was kind to us and the sun came out, adding to a lovely afternoon of sampling a wide variety of traditional Madeiran food and drink. There was plenty to enjoy, and Sherryl’s knowledge and insights into the island’s history really added to the experience. A great way to explore the local culture through its flavours. Personally we would perhaps have liked more history and information about the island and possibly the inclusion of Madeira wine tasting. It was a lovely start to our stay on the island.Sampling Funchal

We started our tour with two confusions- firstly our guide wasn’t Sherryl (but we didn’t catch her actual name when she introduced herself). Secondly, our meeting place: the Poncha de Pescador bar, 188 Rue de Santa Maria was a single closed door that looked nothing like a bar or somewhere we’d expect to meet someone. Fortunately, ‘Sherryl’ was nearby and the tour went well from then on. ‘Sherryl’ was very pleasant, helpful and seemed to know the old town well. A very interesting short tour.A very interesting short tour.

Cheryl is a lovely lady, she is very knowledgeable and friendly. Our walking tour started in the market, through town and down to the harbour. We learnt a lot about the history and customs of Madeira. Cheryl also gave us lots of info about bus routes and times. There were many opportunities to sample and buy delicious food. Thank you Cheryl xxChristi

We had SHERYLL as our guide on both tours and we thought she was very good . itour experience was one of pleasant learning and interaction and was relaxed and good. We had difficulty meeting up the first time - wasting time- we were all in the same place but not recognizing each other as leader and participants - we even stood on the same step! if only she had had a badge or a particular coloured jacket or some way so that we could have identified her! this kind of thing is very difficult in a busy and for us - new place- with a different language too and is stressful. That said, we enjoyed ourselves immensely and hope this comment will help future participants- once met up- the identification can disappear. also, e mails are easier than your portal- not everyone carries their passwords around and mobiles do not aleays cooperate, THis is no reflection on Sheryll, but rather for you to consider in your prep and organisation. #Many thanks - we love Madeira and were so glad to have pre booked for these exceptional experiences.Tasters and Hidden gems

Sherryl is a very sweet lady but for us, she is not “a local”… She indeed lives in Madeira but for us a local should be someone who knows all the tips and tricks from eating in Madeira… This is something we missed, instead of “here you can eat a pastel de nata, which is very popular dessert in Portugal” to “here you can buy the most delicious pastel de nata in Madeira”… so in the end we were happy that we did the tour but a bit disappointed in the tour itself…Not local enough

Sherryl was a wonderful guide through the city of Funchal. She is very knowledgeable about the city and the foods we tried. She was easy to talk to and give great recommendations for our stay in Madeira!Great day in Fuchal
