About Madeira Exquisite Food on Foot Tours
The first and only operator of tours in Madeira exclusively focused on culinary experiences in Funchal. Created by two passionate about food and the work they do as qualified local guides, they had this idea that would like to share with you and invite you to accompany them in this interactive culinary adventure. All because they believe in the universal language of eating the local food, learning about the culture and history of a country, Each tour consists of 3.5 hours ride accompanied by a qualified guide. At each site, you will sample one or more elements of the Madeiran cuisine, usually accompanied with regional drinks or Portuguese wines. You will also learn about the history behind each of the restaurants, as well as Funchal´s heritage, often considered one of the best towns in Europe to live. On a relaxed way, like if you were among friends, we take you through the old streets of Funchal, the roads less traveled, to places that only the locals know. Bring your appetite and come on!
