Explore Funchal’s old town, market, churches, sugar history, and Madeira wine on a small-group walking tour for $19.

“This a great way to start your holiday, get your bearings & learn more about the city's history & culture. Good to know too that your money is going straight into the University's Student Welfare Fund.

The walk along with her confidence and knowledge of the flora and fauna gave us an amazing day in nature. The coffee and poncho stops were very good too.. Great day out”

4.Madeira East Island Tour and Levada Walk

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 787 reviews · from $63

See Madeira's eastern peaks, laurel forest, Santana cottages, coastal viewpoints, lunch, and rum tasting in one small-group day tour.

“Great trip. Our guide was knowledgeable about the island and also pointed out the fruit, veg and flowers growing along the roadsides. We saw so much in just one day. It was a small group and we had plenty of time at each stop to wander off on our own and do whichever thing suited us best. We especially loved the Levada walk and the views after driving up above the cloud level. Really good value for money and a great introduction to Madeira”
