      Wonderful intro to Madeira food & sights!

      "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!"

      I fell in love with Funchal!

      "Sherryl was delightful, knowledgeable and a terrific local foodie tour guide. Our tastes and sips provided us with an appreciation for the unique (and delicious!) Madeira food scene. She even arranged a perfect weather day for our tour!"

      Wonderful time

      "Sandra is an excellent guide. We had a bit of a problem with our rental car on the way from Funchal airport to meet Sandra. She was flexible and communicated with us several time so that we could adapt our food tour. We found her to be very knowledgeable not only about the food of the area but about the history of Funchal as well. She is a delightful guide and person and I would highly recommend her. "

      Review about Sandra

      "The two of us met Sandra as arranged; a very interesting, enjoyable, entertaining morning began immediately. As a true Madeiran, Sandra’s love of, and passion for, her home and community was very apparent, she kindly shared personal anecdotes and information which helped to contextualise what we we learned about (Sandra is a good teacher!). The atmosphere was very relaxed, it was lovely to see Sandra’s interaction with the community. Oh, and the food was great too! Don’t think about it, just do it!"

      Fantastisch

      "De rondleiding was fantastisch, heerlijke drankjes en gerechten geproefd en mooie verborgen pareltjes ontdekt in Funchal. Sherryl kent de oude binnenstad als geen ander en laat je alles zien. Zeer aan te bevelen."

      A Madeira Treasure!

      "Sherryl was fantastic! She quickly understood what foods/drinks we had tried and what we were missing and came up with a plan on the fly. We had great stops, wonderful conversation about the lifestyles and culture of the Madeiran people- she answered any odd questions about the island. Her English was 100%. A real pleasure and as we started at noon, no dinner for us!"
