This newly established food tour provided a lovely day to wander around Funchal at my own pace. The organiser Neil was very helpful and the owners at the stops were very friendly. The stops provided a range of local fare from fancy to simple traditional dishes. The scabbard fish with banana and lime rice at Jaket was a standout. Well worth it!

Fantastic experience. Great to try local food and be connected to the best local hidden gems in Madeira.

Brilliant day - great way to see the some highlights of Funchal - whiled away 5 hours doing this with the family in a sunny day. Lovely.

I’m a local, and to be honest, this is one of the best tours I’ve ever done! Even though I live here, I discovered so many hidden gems I had never noticed before. The whole day was an absolute delight – from the delicious food to the fascinating stories behind each stop. What a lovely day and what an amazing concept! Highly recommended to both visitors and locals alike.

This was an excellent way to cover the centre of Funchal by foot and to take in both four excellent food/drink stops and a visit to a famous food shop. I had a few revelatory experiences on the way. You are free to visit the locations in any order, though one may require your visit within a particular time-slot. Recommended.

We had a wonderful afternoon. Food and drinks were very good (specially at the first stop Jacket) and a very personal approach by the organizer. He came to check on the tour if everything was OK We would recommend this so you can explore Funchal by the food and drinks at places you wouldn't stop maybe yourself.

Excellent communication from Neil. Very easy to find your destinations on a self guided food tour all pre-arranged for us. An amazing amount of food and drinks. You certainly don’t finish the tour feeling hungry. Very flexible. We would highly recommend.

It was a great experience and a delicious insight into the culinary world of this beautiful island. Thanks again to all the innkeepers and owners who made this possible. Obrigado...

We had a fantastic experience on the Madeira Walking Food Tour! Communication with Neil was excellent – he sent us a clear and well-thought-out itinerary with timings and map links, and was always available if we had questions. We loved the flexibility of being able to start when it suited us and to discover each stop at our own pace. The chosen locations were great: from enjoying Poncha and local tapas in a hidden spot, to tasting artisan chocolate and Madeira wine at the market, visiting the historic biscuit bakery, and meeting Denis at the cheese shop. Every stop felt authentic and welcoming. At the bakery we even had a funny little moment – they were so friendly that they spontaneously gave us a discount on cakes, which made our day even nicer (not part of the tour, just their kindness!). What we appreciated most was that the tour is not rushed. You can simply enjoy Madeira’s flavors and culture in the order and rhythm that suits you best. That flexibility is a big plus compared to other tours we’ve done in the past. Overall, this was an amazing and authentic way to experience local food and culture. We can highly recommend the Madeira Walking Food Tour and wish Neil lots of success with this great idea. Definitely a 5-star experience! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We thoroughly enjoyed the self guided food tour. The locations were all within 5 to 10 minutes walk of each other and included a wide variety of food/drinks. The vendors clearly explained what was included to us and we felt the portions were a good size! It let us explore Funchal early on in our visit, to get an idea of where to go to eat. The instructions were easy to follow. The only minor comment we had was that it would be nice at time of booking to know when the instructions are sent (morning of your tour), so that you don't worry you've missed an email!
