Madeira wijnproeverij en stadstour door Funchal

Very informative walking tour,We have been to Funchal many times,but still learned a lot with our guide,Luis.We covered a lot in 2 hours,and found the tour to be excellent value for money.

Although I say I wouldn't recommend this 'experience' in the name of fairness we didn't actually get the full tour. After agreeing to change the day from Friday to the Saturday because of staffing issues, it soon became apparent (and confirmed by the company later) Our guide, pleasant as he was, didnt usually do this tour (and was not very informative or a loud speaker.) Half way round we were told we wouldn't be able to do the tour and tasting at 'Blandys' because they were fully booked. (Admin Blunder)Instead we were taken to 'Doliveiras.' to do some tasting there which lasted about 30 minutes. I will point out we were given a refund for the cost of Blandys non tour. While I appreciate the company were trying to fulfil there obligation the Blandys visit was a big part of the tour which we missed. I would like to think when done properly this would be a good tour but for us it was a waste of time and money and I wish I had cancelled.

My boyfriend and I stayed our last days of our trip in Funchal and decided to go for a walking tour with a tasting of Madeira’s famous wine included! We are very happy that we have chosen the tour with Luís! He is just great! We were lucky to have a private tour with him which made it very personal and private obviously :)! Luís shows you great selected places, explains all the facts and history and answers all your questions about the island, traditions and usual life in Madeira! We really enjoyed our three hours with him and can just recommend it! The wine tour was also very interesting and the tasting very tasty :D! Thanks Luís! It was a pleasure to meet you and a great last experience on this beautiful island!
