Full description
Discover this 600-year-old city, while riding on a sidecar through Old town’s narrow winding roads and it's historical centre. Your driver will provide you with information about Funchal´s history, the inhabitant's ways of life, typical products, and monuments, including the defensive fortresses built to protect the city from the pirate’s attacks. Different monuments and notable sites will be pointed out, such as Museu das Cruzes (Gonçalves Zarco's first house), the convent of Santa Clara, the main Cathedral, the Jesuits Church, the Municipal Square and Garden, and the City Hall building, which was an old Palace that belonged to Conde de Carvalhal. You'll get the opportunity to take plenty of photos while seeing Funchal. Admire Old Town’s painted doors and walls and the old mountain carved road.

Es war besser als erwartet. So konnten auch die üblichen Touristenrouten gemieden werden und sind so auf ganz individuelle Wünsche eingegangen werden. Wir werden bestimmt weitere Touren planen.

Excellent tour. Filipe était aux petit soins, pour que tout se passe pour le mieux. Ils nous a fait découvrir funchal sous un autre angle. Il connaît tout comme sa poche et ses explications ont été parfaites. Merci pour tout et ça sera un réel plaisir de vous revoir lors de notre prochain séjour. Amicalement Cristina et armando
