Fun. Personable. Knowledgable.
"Luana was our guide for a tour of the old town (Rua Santa Maria). She did an exceptional job introducing us to the fruit & flower market. Our group really enjoyed the street art and murals, which is the centerpiece of the tour. Great experience with Luana. "
"Sherryl was delightful, knowledgeable and a terrific local foodie tour guide. Our tastes and sips provided us with an appreciation for the unique (and delicious!) Madeira food scene. She even arranged a perfect weather day for our tour!"
"Sherryl was very informative and interesting to talk with. We really enjoyed our morning walking around Funchal with her"

One of a kind day in Madeira
"We were able to spend the day exploring the North and west side of Madeira. Such a wonderful experience. Volha was an amazing host. Shes a very positive person with great energy. She took us to some wonderful less explored places in Madeira. We really enjoyed our day and would recommend Volha as a guide to anyone looking for a personalized tour of the island. Thanks Volha!"

Best tour of our trip
"We were very fortunate to have chosen Rosario to guide us around the beautiful city of Funchal. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the history and features of Funchal. Further, her English is excellent. We had a wonderful, in depth tour over three hours (just right) in Funchal.
We highly recommend Rosario to visitors to Funchal!"

Funchal With Volha
"We recently had a 3 hour tour with Volha while we were in Funchal for a cruise stop. She was lively and informative, and full of interesting facts about Funchal. We covered a lot of the city in a short time, and learned about its history, its culture and its people. We even got to sample the Pastel de Nata, which was delicious. Volha truly made the old city come alive for us. Because of her knowledge and her genuine personality, it was a fabulous day in Funchal."

Wonderful Tour and Tasting
"Fantastic tour with Luana. We were met at the shuttle stop from our cruise and given a very informative walking tour throughout the town of Funchal. Tasting various local foods along the way, seeing the market and finishing up at the Madeira winery and tasting room. You can’t go wrong by booking the tour with Luana!"
"We has a great tour with Sherryl trying different local drinks and dishes in Funchal.
Sherryl is friendly, polite and knowledgeable and it was lovely to spend time with her learning about Madeiran food."
