"We had a great time with Sherryl. I took my 13 year old daughter on this tour with me, and we both learned (and sampled) a ton about Madeira cuisine, plants, and sights. There was plenty to eat and drink, and Sherryl was very generous with her time and expertise. I highly recommend booking with her!"
"One of our favorite with locals tours! And was just great! "

One of a kind day in Madeira
"We were able to spend the day exploring the North and west side of Madeira. Such a wonderful experience. Volha was an amazing host. Shes a very positive person with great energy. She took us to some wonderful less explored places in Madeira. We really enjoyed our day and would recommend Volha as a guide to anyone looking for a personalized tour of the island. Thanks Volha!"
"We were very fortunate to have chosen Rosario to guide us around the beautiful city of Funchal. She has an encyclopedic knowledge of the history and features of Funchal. Further, her English is excellent. We had a wonderful, in depth tour over three hours (just right) in Funchal.
We highly recommend Rosario to visitors to Funchal!"

Funchal With Volha
"We recently had a 3 hour tour with Volha while we were in Funchal for a cruise stop. She was lively and informative, and full of interesting facts about Funchal. We covered a lot of the city in a short time, and learned about its history, its culture and its people. We even got to sample the Pastel de Nata, which was delicious. Volha truly made the old city come alive for us. Because of her knowledge and her genuine personality, it was a fabulous day in Funchal."
