Enjoyable Foodie Tour - This was a most enjoyable food and cultural tour. It began with a sampling of teas and pastel de nata with whipped cream and a ricotta cheesecake with jam served at an outside patio. A short walk up the intricately tiled street we visited a beautiful church and then sampled some delicious Bolo de Caco sandwiches. Next we made our way to the beautiful food market. We were fortunate for it to be a market day. We sampled various passion fruits including the interesting cheese fruit which tasted like a cross between banana and pineapple. There was of course a taste of Madiera wine with some beautifully shaped chocolates at another stop. That was followed up with a trip to a local restaurant where we had two types of fish including salt cod and scabbard fish with a side of baked carrot. We ended the day with a drink of freshly made poncha made with honey, orange juice and lots of rum. Our tour guide was knowledgable and provided us with a most enjoyable tour. We had several hours after the tour to enjoy the town of Funchal.

Plenty to eat and drink - Our tour guide Matt took good care of us today, in a leisurely tour of wine and food around the centre of Funchal. The food and wine was plentiful and Matt’s knowledge of the local fauna was an added bonus 🥰 it took four hours and we visited 8 places. We love food tours and would highly recommend this one.

A treat round every corner - We enjoyed this tour, excellently guided by Matt, enormously. He was very knowledgeable in not only wine and food but also in the history and fauna and flora of Funchal. Everywhere we visited was interesting with delicious food and drink. We loved that we went to places we would never have found by ourselves and came away feeling that we knew Funchal much better than before we did the tour. The others in our group were very friendly and good fun making the morning very memorable. We can thoroughly recommend this tour and huge thanks to Matt!

A sample of Funchal - Matt is a very knowledgeable guide, patient and kind.
I'm probably speaking on behalf of a few other attendees when I say he needs to speak a bit louder while we are walking about the streets, as it became difficult to hear him , at times.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it to visitors new to Funchal.

Highly recommend this tour - Great way to see around Funchal whilst sampling and learning about the local foods. Roberto our guide was knowledgeable and friendly … making sure everything ran to plan. At least 3 places we’ll be going back to in order to purchase more food items. ! It was great to visit authentic Funchal establishments and not just tourist traps.

Fabulous day - something for everyone - Brilliant tour with a superb guide (shout out to Matt) - it was a leisurely paced stroll through the centre of Funchal with 8 different stops to sample either food or drink (or both) at various places. There is no pressure to buy anything and you see some places you would never see normally - we discovered an entire area of the city we would never have come across otherwise. One of our group has a severe lactose allergy but alternatives were provided for her everywhere (although we did notify the company in advance). Would highly recommend, although you will need a bit of breakfast first as although the tour starts at 10am, it's Madeira tasting!

A great way to start a vacation in Madeira - Went on a great tour with Matt. Doing this walk early on my trip was especially nice because it gave me a greater appreciation for Madeiran foods, drinks, and culture that was helpful throughout the rest of my trip.
The order of the food and drinks was a bit backwards to me - starting with the wines, sweets, and poncha and then ending with the heartier meals. However it did line up with lunch time and the upside was that the tour ended right by the cable cars and transitioned flawlessly into taking a ride up to Monte, visiting the tropical garden, and then taking the toboggans part of the way back to Funchal. It was really easy to fill up a day and check off a lot of items on my to-do list.
