As arranged I was collected from my hotel, who arrived on time. It turned out I was the only one on the tour. I was driven into town then we started our walk. Although it’s not my first visit to Funchal, I was taken to places I’d not know of. Visiting inside the cathedral was extremely special, I really didn’t know how interesting the history was also I was pointed out certain thins I may have missed. A truly memorable experience. Everything ran to time, whilst walking I got to understand what living in Maderia is like first hand. Sometimes we need to know about real life in countries we visit, we get the full experience. Very good English, interesting and I felt as a solo tourist completely safe. Finished off at Blandys which was where we parted company. After an excellent tour and tasting session! My guide was waiting for me outside, although I chose to say in Funchal him coming back was very comforting to me to have options. I highly recommend doing this tour, there can be many things that are missed when you are on your own.
