"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!"

Great introduction to Funchal
"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."

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."
