Our half day starts at Pico dos Barcelos viewpoint, a very nice view of all Funchal, where we can see different locations of the city and have an amazing sight for lovely pictures.
Continuing up, we head in direction to one of the biggest tourist attractions of Madeira, Eira do Serrado at a height of 1053m (3455 feet), where we can enjoy the magnificent view of Nuns Valley, which once was a refuge for the Nuns of the Monastery of Santa Clara during the invasion of the French Privateers to the Island. During our trip we will stop in some viewpoints to see the Socorrido Stream and tell the story of Old Madeira with some narrow old roads built on the mountains.

Amazing scenery
A 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...
The Duarte is an exceptional guide that demonstrates a deep knowledge about the island and through which it contagies us with the love it feels for its land.
The tour itself is a journey through places of unmistakable beauty, unique flavors and contact with places that demonstrate how well to receive

The Best Tour in Funchal
We 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!!!!!!

This tour exceeded our...
This tour exceeded our expectations. It truly was an amazing area. Our guide Marco was very knowledgeable and we all learned so much about the area, Madeira culture and history. He even treated us to a folk song on the accordion while we enjoyed refreshments, Would highly recommend this tour.

Sympathy, curiosity, knowledge and traditions
It was a unique and enriching experience. Our guide, the Duarte, was very friendly and gave us to know many relics of the amazing island of Madeira. There's a lot left to see and we'll definitely be back... we have the same Enterprise.
