Hello Travellers! I'm Lisa, born and raised in Madeira and the founder of the Free Walking Tours in Funchal. I desired to be a guide since I was a teenager and finally achieved my goal in 2016, when I became a local mountain guide. In early 2018, some hikers, challenged me to guide Free Tours in Funchal. I was not familiar with the concept, but learned about it and fell in love with the Free Tours! I'm very to be able to share my home island with our visitors ! In Summer 2022, Romeu joined this project and is know sharing his passion for Funchal with our travellers. Romeu is a teacher, a musician, a traveller and a very enthusiastic guide! Join our tours!!
Funchal has over 500 years of history.
It was the first place where the Portuguese settled in the Age of Discovery.
Madeira was the testing ground for the mass production of sugar and it was the Madeirans who went around the world to start sugar production in various countries.
Initially a monster shrouded in mist in the eyes of 16th century navigators to a 21st century tourist paradise!
