Very happy with experience. Tour guide (Antonio) pleasant and knowledgeable. Would book with Viator again. - 2 hour walking tour through center town of Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. We booked on-line a day or 2 prior. The guide walked slowly. Some steps to climb but not very steep ones. Mild to moderate exertion. The guide was knowledgeable of history and answered all our questions about daily life in Madeira. We were very pleased and would certainly recommend.

You can become a local in just a few hours - A really unique way to learn about a destination. You are matched to a local with great knowledge of somewhere they love and want to share that passion. Our guide took us on a wonderful walking tour that dig into side roads and places where a car or bus tour wouldn’t be able to reach. We learned a lot and very much want to come back to learn more.
