The guide was wonderful and we learned a lot about Madeira, history, food and traditions. The food experience was nice and with good quality after one main meal providing a good mixed plate with meat, fish, tuna, plus sausages the sweet part started with pasteis/cake, chocolate, cake/cookies and fresh fruit in the Market - very good - learned some new fruits :-). Drinks were amazing, had a nice Portuguese wine with the main course, later Madeira tea (cool - we didn't know tea from Madeira), Madeira wine and excellent Poncha. For us the experience was a bit too much on the sweet side - wished we had some more savory food instead but this is our individual perspective. We recommend this tour.

Great tour with a great and knowledgeable guide. Met really interesting other travellers on the tour and the food and drinks all excellent. We did a different food tour in Funchal a few years ago and glad this one visited different stops. The cheese tasting with wine was new and very good.

Carla was an excellent, professional and thoroughly entertaining guide. Would have given 5 stars but let down by the fact that there was no prior enquiry as to dietary requirements. We found out to our dismay that the tasting meal at Apolo contained pork. We notified Carla who promptly alerted staff. We were the only member of the party who had dietary requirements and as a result waited a long time before our meal eventually arrived, still containing pork products (ie chorizo) and at different times (my wife’s meal arrived much later).. There was no substitute for the pork items (so in effect we had less than the other members of the group whilst paying the same). In my wife’s case, two further items were missing from her dish - polenta and passionfruit sauce. We had expected to taste Madeiran fish (ie black scabbard, limpets etc) or other delicacies, but did not do so. All in all disastrous! Fortunately, the rest of the tour proceeded without any further hiccups.
