Roberto was our guide and he truly gave an exceptional tour! The places we went to were all unique and offered wonderful samples of either wine, chocolate or local cuisine. All delicious! Roberto is from Madeira and shared many interesting and historical facts about this beautiful island. The tour was set at a comfortable walking pace and it was a lot of fun to get the know the other people on our tour as we walked around Funchal. So happy we did this tour with Roberto!
