Free walking tours in Funchal

This was the best free walking tour i ever attended (and i did many). Eduardo was amazing!

A freewalking tour is always on my list whenever I travel the world. This time, I was with my 3 friends. We found an excellent guide in Eduardo who told us Funchal and its history. Highly recommended to find out a bit more about the city's history with him by your side. He tells it so enthusiastically that you hang on his every word for the next historical fact about the city and its inhabitants.

Had a great time with the group.

Muy dinámico y agradable

Eduardo is great guide. Very funny and informative. I enjoyed the Walking Tour. Thank you:)

Very friendly and informative :)

Nos ha encantado Gabriel, ameno, divertido, con datos históricos curiosos, todo lo necesario para un tour! Simplemente fantástico

Enjoyable presentation and likeable character. Good voice projection (I’m hearing aid user & had very little trouble hearing/lip-reading). Plenty of new discoveries and places to explore further. More than meets the eye. Shame others 4 left before tour fully completed!

Had a great tour with Eduardo, gave us a good understanding of the history of Madeira and the city of Funchal. Especially the more recent events with flooding and forest fires gave us an insight in the challenges Madeira faces.

The Essential-Tour is truly the ideal starting point for your stay in Funchal/Madeira. The guide provides information about the history, local specialties, and viewpoints. Questions were always answered very professionally. Recommendations for hikes, day trips, and other activities throughout the island were very helpful.

Very enjoyable and informative tour I would definitely recommend!

From all the walking tours that we've done this has been BY FAR the best experience we've had. Liliana knows the island and its story so well, plus her love for the island is palpable. She introduced us to the bordadeiras, and Dona Isabel as well as the best spot for pasteis de nata, and little fun facts around the English/Maderians historical relationships. Her kindness and joy makes it a pleasure to be around and timecompletely flies when you're around her.

I absolutely loved the tour with Eduardo. He is very engaging, can tell stories about the history in a unique and entertaining way and he looked out for us as a group. He also gave us local recommendations and he took extra time since there was a town parade going on that day. I have learned a lot about the history of Madeira and Funchal and can only recommend the tour. Plus, despite what he says, his English is very good :)

Eduardo was a great guide and showed us all the best bits of Funchal. The tour was well paced and very informative.

Eduardo is very entertaining and adapts the tour to local events if anything is happening in town. Smiling, very happy to help, surprise in the end, and even provides a PDF with many top things to do and see lists curated by himself. What a service!

Muy buen tour, recomiendo

An informative tour conducted by a passionate guide, Lisa who gave some useful tips and an overview of the old town. Visited places which ordinarily can be missed. Well worth including the trip in your itinerary.

Tolle Tour durch Funchal mit Eduardo! Er war super sympathisch, hat mit viel Wissen und Humor durch die Stadt geführt und spannende Einblicke gegeben. Sehr empfehlenswert – danke, Eduardo!

Amazing tour, very fun, very leissurly, the guide Eduardo is amazing and very pleasant. Don't miss this tour if you are in Funchal!

Perfect way to orientate with the city and pick up the history and useful tips. Lisa was knowledgeable and gave just the right amount of information to keep you engaged and opportunities to ask questions. Would recommend doing this trip upon arrival so it makes it easy to find your way round.

Eduardo was an amazing guide. He showed us all the best parts of Funchal and made the tour really interactive with fun guessing games and activities. His presentation about Funchal, including recommendations for great places and restaurants, was a thoughtful and helpful touch. We truly enjoyed the experience!
