An interesting & worthwhile experience! - A wonderful & informative experience! Sabrine was extremely knowledgeable. Her English was excellent & she gave us a lot of information & tips for future visits. We both thoroughly enjoyed our walk & will most certainly do another guided tour when we next visit the island. The fact that these young people do this work (not for profit) to raise funds to help students who need support is an example of the care & generosity of the youth of today. Thankyou for an excellent tour.

Excellent tour to get to know the city while supporting a good cause - Excellent experience. Interesting two-hour walk in which you learn a lot about the history, but in a fun way. My guide, Sabrin Guichard, was very knowledgable and she shared a lot of legends and interesting little facts. Also took me to some lesser-known locations that are well worth a visit (courtyards and gardens of churces, cloisters and museums that are free to enter, without a guide I would not have known this). Also, the proceeds of these tours go to initiatives that help univerity students who are struggling financially. Whilst learning about the city, you are also supporting a good cause!

Excellent - Very enjoyable and informative. We learnt a lot and found some unusual places. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Excellent - Excellent Fun and informative. The guide Laura was great and all proceeds go to a good cause. Tour starts in a lovely setting in the heart of Funchal

See a different Funchal on this great walking tour - Thanks to Zoe, our young Austrian guide, my husband and I had a wonderful 2 hours walking around Funchal. Discovering interesting places and enjoying all the amazing facts and figures from our guide. We would thoroughly recommend these Tours and the fee is used to pay for the students food and accommodation.

Fascinating - Very interesting tour, guide spoke perfect English and was extremely knowledgeable. Saw lots more than if we had just wandered around ourselves with a guide book. Have already booked another tour with History Tellers. Highly recommend.

Very enjoyable and educational - Very informative guide. We were glad to contribute to supporting the less well off university students too. Saw some places that were unknown to friends who have been coming fir 20 years!

Exploring history of Funchal - Interesting to explore some areas of Funchal not visited before, and able to return to go to the museums at our own pace. Guide had excellent English and pace of tour was good, and able to learn new acts even though have visited city many times previously. Good to support the Erasmus program too.

Walking tour - I thought that a company called Maderian heritage would employ guides from Madeira. While the guide I had was excellent , it’s not the same as having a local taking about his/her own place. Also this tour worked out very expensive as I paid the agent running the tour and then felt obliged to give the volunteer guides more money. Sent from my iPhone

Cancelling tours, rude communication - They cancel the tours without informing you in advance. I have ordered the Mysteries of Funchal tour, arrived at the agreed timing only to find out that the tour was cancelled. The lady suggested a replacement to Old Town Tour, that was out of my interest. When asked, why they don’t inform in advance, the response was that everyone is happy with replacement. Oh boy. If your schedule is tight and you have a specific demand to get a particular tour, better to contact them a day in advance for repeated confirmation. The tone of communication was rude. “If it was the only thing I am doing” was the response why nobody could inform me at least few hours in advance.
