A wonderful afternoon of gastronomy, drinks, and culture!"We spent a wonderful afternoon with Jacqueline and another couple on this tour. We learned so much from her about the culture and history of Madeira and enjoyed the very good food and wine at truly fantastic restaurants. We hadn’t met the other couple before the trip, but it ended up feeling like an afternoon spent with good friends! We were in Madeira celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary, and this tour was one of the highlights of our holiday. We ended up trying all kinds of dishes that we probably wouldn’t normally choose and absolutely loved everything on the menu. I highly recommend this tour and this company."

It felt like a lovely stroll through the heart of the city combined with a deep and flavorful cultural immersion. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Madeira!"
