Taste Funchal : tour enogastronomico e culturale

Wonderful sampling of local foods and lesson on the history and culture of Madeira. Graca was attentive to my wife’s gluten -free needs.

Awesome tour of the city. We are so much delicious food and had refreshing wines. Def recommended for a few hours in Funchal. Our guide was Lionor.

This food walking tour was amazing. We were thinking about doing the self guided tour but glad we chose this one. Our guide was friendly and informative and there was something to try for everyone. Highly recommended.

Our guide was excellent and gave us a great feel for Funchal culture history and food . We started in a lovely tea house and the lunch we had at the end was superb . We experienced many different dishes and at our final stop saw how the famous poncha is made

It was a cozy and varied tour with our guide Rosa who was very friendly but also gave a lot of information.

We had a great time with our guide Grace. She was so personable and I appreciated hearing information from a local of Madeira. The food was amazing and she gave us great insights on the city.

Fabulous, fun and interesting . Grace was absolutely wonderful both in depth of knowledge and engaging personality. The group size was perfect allowing us to enjoy the experience on a more intimate level-allowing the group to engage in lovely conversations. Thank you and make sure to come hungry!!

A great variety of food and drink were sampled, and our guide was extremely knowledgeable about everything related to Madeira. We even went an hour over & we didn't miss anything on the itinerary. We did it on the day we landed, and I highly recommend to get some great recommendations on what to do in Madeira.

We really enjoyed this walking food tour and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Funchal. The small group size made it feel friendly and relaxed, and our guide spoke excellent English throughout. The food stops gave a great introduction to Madeira’s produce, with a nice balance of traditional dishes and more modern influences. One highlight was a delicious Thai-inspired soup made with local tuna. The pastel de nata was excellent, the Madeira wine tasting was good, and it was great to visit the colourful fresh fruit market and sample some of the local produce. Our guide had an impressive depth of knowledge about Madeira’s food, history and culture. The only area I think could be improved is the style of delivery. She dominated almost all of the conversation, meaning the rest of the group spent much of the tour sitting in silence while being talked at. I genuinely appreciated how knowledgeable she was, but the experience would have been even better with a little more interaction, encouraging conversation within the group rather than feeling like a lecture at points. I’d also love to see the itinerary expanded slightly to include a tasting at one of Madeira’s local producers, along with a stop for some of the excellent local ice cream. Overall 4/5 for us. It was a very enjoyable tour with just a little more interaction and one or two additional tasting stops, it would be exceptional.

This food tour was excellent. The guide (who's name escapes me) was very warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and patient. The tour was at a nice steady pace and included food, drinks, descriptions and a lot more. The tour wasn't fussy or rushed or pretentious. We really got a good sense of the places we went and Funchal. The guide also knew a lot more about Funchal and Madiera. It was good to interact either other members of the group. This is a great arrival tour or a few days in. We really enjoyed it.
