So much to see, so much to eat and so much to drink!

Tasting Funchal was quite different from what we expected. We thought we would visit the standard tourist traps which were abundant in the city center but almost non of that! Starting out in a little shop and slowly moving through the city in a small group from all over the world, we got to try sweets with wine, local food (and hearing about why some food is absolutely not local!), ice cream, a diner and drinks afterwards, we were completely satisfied, food- and drinkwise :).

Lovely food but questionable program
Tim_C, October 2026
Our tour included shop-based foods such as ice-cream (before they closed), then to a restaurant for a complete multi-course meal. Although the food was all excellent, I would say it was back to front and too much.
