"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."
"We met Volha in the park and she then took us on a tour of Funchal taking us to places we would have missed on.Volha was a superb host so easy to talk to and my wife and I had a lovely time.I would thoroughly recommend a tour with Volha if in Funchal."
"I had such a lovely evening with Volha, who is warm, friendly, interesting and she imparted lots of information about Funchal, and Madeira's history. 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."
"We LOVED our tour with Sandra! She is very knowledgeable and shared great insider information with us. We would absolutely tour with her again! "

Good start to our Funchal adventure
"Sandra was a great start to our time in Funchal. She was knowledgeable and very patient with all our questions. She is a true local and it comes through during the tour. The 5 of us would recommend Sandra! "
"I thoroughly enjoyed this very pleasant 3-hours walking tour with Rosario. Setting things up with her was easy, and the tour itself was informative and covered both all the touristic highlights of Funchal, and also some trails off the main streets of the capital, where you could get an 'authentic' feel of life in the city. Rosario knows a lot about the history of the island, its people and politics and was easy to talk to in English. Highly recommended!"
"We had a very interesting 3 hours with Rosario, a good introduction of Funchal to start of our holiday also tasting some local queimada, poncha, chocolate and Madeira wine"

Great expirience 🩷
"
I had an unforgettable experience exploring Funchal with Volha as a guide! Her deep knowledge of the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems made the tour not only informative but also truly enjoyable. Volha’s passion for Funchal shines through in every story she shares, and her warm personality made the whole experience feel like a walk with a friend.
The tour was perfectly paced, covering all the major highlights while also taking us off the beaten path to discover some of Funchal’s best-kept secrets. Whether it was the historical landmarks, the charming local spots, or the breathtaking views, Volha made sure we saw the heart and soul of the city.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to connect with Funchal’s authentic side. Thank you, Volha, for an amazing day and for making Funchal come alive for us!
