Itinerary
This epic tour will start at the majestic Pico´s Fortress, one of the highest points of Funchal´s old city walls, Fort São João Batista, more commonly known as Pico Fortress, and ending at the president of Madeira official house. The fort was built between 1632 and 1640 when Portugal and Spain were under the same rule. This construction was built and used to protect the people and the land against pirate attacks. A brief stop will be made at the fort. During this stop prepare to be amazed by a panoramic view of the city of Funchal.
The second shortstop will be at Funchal´s Cathedral, having been built in the late 15th century, this is one of the few structures that survived the period of colonization of Madeira.
A mandatory stop at the Farmer’s Market will be made because this historical place is one of Madeira’s business cards. At this pit stop be prepared to see, taste, and enjoy one of the most typical fruits, and vegetables in Madeira. All sorts of products are sold here, from produce, fish, plants, spices you name it and you´ll find the best that Madeira has to offer.
Last but not least important, a stop will be made at the Barreinhas’s bar, where one can enjoy a great snack while enjoying one of the best sea views in Funchal.
On the remaining 45 minutes of this trip, there will be an opportunity to experience and pass without stopping in other hot spots of the city, not only the ones mentioned above.

Amazing personalized tour! Our guide was highly informative on a variety of topics. Very accommodating to make the tour exactly how we wanted it.
Wonderful and kind guide. Showed us the best of Funchal in a short time. Had great recommendations.
It’s a great way to see a little bit more of the Island getting to places you may not normally go. Completely private, very flexible and an awful lot of fun.
Our driver was wonderful. Many fellow sailors on our cruise went shopping but we were taken on a wonderful tour of the Island of Madeira. Our driver was wonderful, spoke great English and showed us so much of the island. Would recommend him to everyone.
We had a lovely guide/driver Luís who collected us directly at the cruise ship. He was happy to discuss possible itineraries and then took us in our way. Lots of intrresting chat, both personal and local interest. The tuk tuk was very comfortable too.
On time, interesting, informative. Rey nice young man who showed us all around greater Funchal..we were picked up and dropped off at our hotel.

Rui provided an excellent tour with a service that was exceptional. We really appreciated the care he took with us since my husband walks with a cane.
