Vecchio tour a piedi di Funchal

Interesting and enjoyable walking tour. Recommend taking it early in a visit to Madeira. Emily was a very interesting guide.

Excellent guide. Small group size. Good value.

Emile was an excellent tour guide with very useful tips and knowledge of Funchal with a bonus of some Madeura wine tasting. Great fun!

Eloan was a very knowledgeable tour guide. We learned so much about Funchal and Old Funchal. We’d book again!

Admission fee was acceptable in this day and age. We had a great experience seeing places we have not been to whilst in Funchal. Length of time great also given time to browse. There was only six in our group as we were divided in language speaking. It was fun spending time with other people during the walk 🚶 jovial atmosphere all round. Worth doing to hear a bit of history just enough not to be bored.

Very interesting tour to understand better Funchal history

The old Funchal walking tour was fantastic. The guides shared lots of information about the city and its history. The cost of the tour was good for the length of the tour and the size of the tour group. There were 6 or 8 people on the tour, and we were able to chat to each other during times when we were walking between locations. At the end of the tour we had a Madeira wine tasting where we were able to taste four different wines, a dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet and sweet.

The Old City walk was very enjoyable and our guide (Bafa) was friendly, knowledgeable and explained everything very clearly.

The guides were lovely, we were never rushed, they made sure we were always comfortable, and weee happy to answer any questions we had!! Highly recommend for a chill and relaxing introduction to Funchal!

This is a great introduction to Funchal, giving you lots of the history of the old town as well as showing you local spots for your visit. The tours are all done by university students and volunteers, with the proceeds going to support student bursaries which is a fab initiative. It also means you end up getting a great personalised tour with brilliant and enthusiastic guides. I really got a sense of the city through the walk, and ended up returning later on to a few of the places pointed out. Also: free wine tasting!
