Enjoyable insight into the history of Madeira and it’s sugar and wine trade. - This was a fascinating tour into the history and importance of sugar and wine to Madeira. My tour guide was Julia and her enthusiasm throughout the tour was evident with many insights into some of the buildings and churches near the old town and administrative area. Great value and most enjoyable.

Sugar and Wine a perfect combination - My guide was Julia. She was punctual and although I was the only customer and despite the torrential rain, Julia was happy to proceed with the tour. It lasted 2+ hours. Julia was extremely polite and attentive. We visited Cathedrals, Churches , Sugar Museum, Blandy's and government buildings. I left knowing lots more about the sugar and wine industry and how they developed through the centuries. There were many highlights, seeing the sugar loaves was just one. Finally we finished with some free Madeiran wine tasting. An excellent tour.

Exactly what I was looking for to get to know Funchal - I really liked this guided tour of Funchal, where we discover the history, geography of the island, as well as the foundations of its economy on the cultivation of sugar cane and the production of Madeira wine ! These are students who provide the visit and they take great care to give us lots of explanations. The tour lasts 2 hours and you will visit several emblematic places in Funchal. Visit to the sugar museum and a Madeira wine cellar. No tasting included, but that was fine with me as that wasn't what I was looking for with this guided tour. At the end of the visit, you will be advised on a place where you can taste Madeira for free. It was an important visit to complete my trip to Madeira and get to know this magnificent island better! I had booked the visit on the site and I was the only one at this slot, I had a real in-depth visit all to myself and a privileged exchange with the guide (in English). Thanks again !

Must do tour - An excellent tour, a real insight into the why and the how of what Madeira is today. Older teenage sons loved it, helps that they are doing history at school. Such a beautiful area and the churches are stunning. Our tour guide was a gem, he was packed with knowledge that he imparted with history jokes and story telling that made the whole tour really interesting.

Great intro to Funchal! - We had a great tour with Eliana! She was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic - would definitely recommend this tour to others!

Excellent way to spend 2 hours in Funchal - The guide from the History Tellers, the concept providing interesting walking tours to fund Madeiran students is wonderful. Our guide was a German gap year student who was excellent, very knowledgeable. We all enjoyed learning about the history of the sugar and wine trade in Madeira. I would recommend these walking tours if you want to find out about Funchal and the real Madeira.
