This private tour will take you on a quest where the views will match the interesting history of this city. Come discover this unique island!
Once, the experimental field for sugarcane in the island soon became a prosperous city with the sugar commerce attracting merchants, traders, sailors, and of course, pirates. For centuries Funchal’s bay lived a hectic life with ships coming from all over the world.
The capital of Madeira has a diversified architecture from the golden period of Portuguese discoveries as well as foreigners who chose Madeira to live. We say here that Funchal is always blooming. Mild temperatures, rich soils, and the sun gave the perfect conditions for gardens and parks to collect botanical species from both hemispheres that have found here new home.
Born and raised in Funchal, I am the right person to take you on this interesting tour, from the coastline to high mountains, passing through deep valleys where people and houses defy gravity, forest, typical food, drinks, and lots of fun.
This tour can be extended 1 or 2 hours without any extra cost.
