Amazing
The tour started off with a timeline and was gripping from the start combining history and quotations and famous historical figures. This is different from all the obvious places other tour guides will take you. Leila is friendly and great fun. What a fabulous experience.

A Unique and Fascinating Way to Discover Funchal
Leila is incredibly knowledgeable, and her tour is one of the most unique and interesting experiences you’ll find in Funchal. I highly recommend it, especially if you don’t have much time but still want to discover fascinating stories and facts about the island. If you’re curious and want to see Madeira from a different perspective, this is definitely the tour for you!

5 Star All Around
The tour was creative, well-organised, engaging and thought provoking .... organised or should I say "curated" by a young energetic English woman who brought passion and intellectual curiosity to each stage of the experience. Highly recommended.
