Historic Funchal Small Group Walking Tour

4.6/5
16 reviews

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.

    Es war eine sehr kurzweilig Führung mit einem engagierten, jungen Leiter. Sehr zu empfehlen.

    In den 2 Stunden habe ich wahnsinnig viel über Madeira erfahren. Mein tourguide,ein junger Student, hat sehr viel Wissen geteilt. Die Tour ist für das Geld absolut zu empfehlen. Man sollte gut zu Fuß sein

    Gut gefallen hat mir, dass wir mit der Teilnahme an der Führung einen Sozialfonds für Studenten in Madeira unterstützt haben. Unser Guide war eine Freiwillige, die hier durch die Führung Einnahmen für diesen Fonds ermöglicht. Sie hat uns sehr lebendig von Funchals Geschichte erzählt, viel Lebensnahes, ohne uns mit Daten oder allzu Historischem zu "belasten". Richtig schlecht war allerdings der Treffpunkt beschrieben, hier besteht dringender Verbesserungsbedarf.
