Almost 600 years old, Funchal is full of tales of kings, queens and conquests. So a small group walking tour around town is like stepping through the pages of a history book. You'll learn about French battles atop the city walls, hear about the famous folk buried in the Anglican Church, and find out why foreign royalty once dined at St Claire's Monastery.

Studenten doen de rondleiding maar zijn duidelijk goed opgeleid en op de hoogte. Er is veel moois te zien in Funchal en onze gids wist veel te vertellen. Het vertrekpunt is matig; de universiteit gedoogt de toeristen die rondhangen tot de tour begint maar leuk vinden ze het niet. De wandelingen zijn wel steil af en toe, je moet goed ter been en fit zijn.
