“Fantastic day with Roberto on the food and wine tour. We started by enjoying Madeira wine at Blandy’s wine lodge and then made our way around town trying chocolate, traditional biscuits, fish, pork, bolodo bread, more wine and local fruits. Roberto was knowledgeable and shared history, art and cultural information. We have been on food tours in numerous countries and this one was at the top of our list. Make sure you go with an empty stomach as there is a lot of food and drink to sample.”
Review of Madeira’s 4x4 tour from Funchal, with Cabo Girão skywalk, mountain viewpoints, off-road driving, Poncha, and wine tasting.
“An enjoyable half day on 4x4 trip, felt safe in the land-rover we were in and the driver was very good and friendly. Drove to 1300 feet in moundains on this beautiful island. Unfortunately the maderia wine /tasting was closed, so that was bad planning, and we were interested in that part of the tour. The driver took us to small town nearby, but very little there. Still enjoyable worth the money.”
