Experience the best of
Funchal with Withlocals

"I had such a lovely evening with Volha, who is warm, friendly, interesting and she imparted lots of information about Funchal, and Madeira's history. It is lovely to see a place through the eyes of someone who knows and loves it. It felt like meeting a friend! Conversation was easy, and the overall experience was wonderful. We had a fabulous glass of wine and a delicious snack. Highly recommended."

"We LOVED our tour with Sandra! She is very knowledgeable and shared great insider information with us. We would absolutely tour with her again! "

"Rosario is an excellent companion with whom to explore Funchal which reveals itself to be a fascinating city with an interesting history. We get we got a really comprehensive overview and explored areas off the beaten track. We also stopped for coffee and a pastel de nata of course I would recommend Rosario most enthusiastically "

"Sandra was a great start to our time in Funchal. She was knowledgeable and very patient with all our questions. She is a true local and it comes through during the tour. The 5 of us would recommend Sandra! "

"I thoroughly enjoyed this very pleasant 3-hours walking tour with Rosario. Setting things up with her was easy, and the tour itself was informative and covered both all the touristic highlights of Funchal, and also some trails off the main streets of the capital, where you could get an 'authentic' feel of life in the city. Rosario knows a lot about the history of the island, its people and politics and was easy to talk to in English. Highly recommended!"

"We had a very interesting 3 hours with Rosario, a good introduction of Funchal to start of our holiday also tasting some local queimada, poncha, chocolate and Madeira wine"

" I had an unforgettable experience exploring Funchal with Volha as a guide! Her deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems made the tour not only informative but also truly enjoyable. Volha’s passion for Funchal shines through in every story she shares, and her warm personality made the whole experience feel like a walk with a friend. The tour was perfectly paced, covering all the major highlights while also taking us off the beaten path to discover some of Funchal’s best-kept secrets. Whether it was the historical landmarks, the charming local spots, or the breathtaking views, Volha made sure we saw the heart and soul of the city. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to connect with Funchal’s authentic side. Thank you, Volha, for an amazing day and for making Funchal come alive for us! "

"Sandra is an excellent guide. We had a bit of a problem with our rental car on the way from Funchal airport to meet Sandra. She was flexible and communicated with us several time so that we could adapt our food tour. We found her to be very knowledgeable not only about the food of the area but about the history of Funchal as well. She is a delightful guide and person and I would highly recommend her. "

"Not much to say except that the tour was exactly what we wanted and totally flexible and adapted to our needs. Luana, with her great personality and knowledge of the island, made this a very enjoyable tour and we highly recommend booking your tours with her."

"We had a perfect tour with Rosario. She not only showed us the standard highlights of the city, but also something off the beaten path. She impressed us with a great knowledge of the history of Madeira. Her husband's sausage at the food truck was the perfect ending. Thanks for the Tour. "
