I had such a lovely evening with Volha, who is warm, friendly, interesting and she imparted lots of information about Funchal, and Madeira's history. It is lovely to see a place through the eyes of someone who knows and loves it. It felt like meeting a friend! Conversation was easy, and the overall experience was wonderful. We had a fabulous glass of wine and a delicious snack. Highly recommended.

Perfect Guide Rosario
We had a perfect tour with Rosario. She not only showed us the standard highlights of the city, but also something off the beaten path. She impressed us with a great knowledge of the history of Madeira. Her husband's sausage at the food truck was the perfect ending.
Thanks for the Tour.
