Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Fantastic tour with Luana. We were met at the shuttle stop from our cruise and given a very informative walking tour throughout the town of Funchal. Tasting various local foods along the way, seeing the market and finishing up at the Madeira winery and tasting room. You can’t go wrong by booking the tour with Luana!"
"We had a lovely experience. Luana knows a lot of Madeira and the flowers, threes and plants. She's a nice person and we had nice talked."
"We has a great tour with Sherryl trying different local drinks and dishes in Funchal. Sherryl is friendly, polite and knowledgeable and it was lovely to spend time with her learning about Madeiran food."
"Volha was a delight to be with. Knowledgeable, polite and kind. Enjoyed learning more about the history of this fabulous island. "
"What a lovely young lady Volha was. We like to take these tours to get a feeling for a new city and it was very useful. It seemed like we covered everything and the day after we were much better prepared to stroll around, knowing much better where we would end up. The cafe where we met has the best Pastel de Nata and went back again for lunch thevday after. Off the main area so we would never have found it. That is what WithLocsls is all about."

They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Funchal.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss.

It is lovely to see a place through the eyes of someone who knows and loves it. It felt like meeting a friend! Conversation was easy, and the overall experience was wonderful. We had a fabulous glass of wine and a delicious snack. Highly recommended."
