We had such an amazing experience today on this tour. Our guide, Isabelle, was fantastic - very friendly and really informative on what we were eating/drinking and the history of the area. The food and wine tasting was varied and really allowed us to get a taste of Madeira. Would recommend in a heartbeat.
