Amazing scenery

5.00A wonderful afternoon of amazing scenery and plenty of information provided by our driver Marco who provided a very informative commentary throughout our trip. He was very flexible and met our need to take things slowly. Private tours mean you can see much more and move at your own pace.
An incredible morning...

5.00We made a great tour in Funchal. Our guide Duarte took us through the island on a wonderful tour, with stops at points with spectacular views, a lot of history about these places and culture, in addition to presenting us with the local flavors; fruit and wooden wines, crowning all this with his sympathy and cordiality, a true and passionate Madeiranese. He became a friend of all of us!!!! Note 1000 for Duarte Nuno and his cry of war.....MADEIRA!!!!!!
