    Wir waren nur zu zweit und hatten dadurch eine Exklusiv Tour mit unserem Guide David aus Östereich, der für ein Jahr durch ein von der EU gesponsertes "Stipendium" auf Madeira ist, hier aber nicht studiert, sondern die Walkingtouren durch die Altstadt von Funchal macht. Es war informativ, spannend, und hat uns sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Die Buchungsgebühr geht wohl zum Großteil an die Uni von Funchal.

    A nice little walking tour around the old town with details from our guide as we visited several local highlights. Our group did this on the first day as it seemed like a fantastic introduction to the island's history and local knowledge. The guide was fantastic, she gave us a lot of details and answered all questions. Very good value for money.

    Toller Gang durch die Stadt mit einer sehr kompetenten und jungen Studentin, die uns viele Ecken zeigte und viele interessante Geschichten erzählte.
