/ August 4, 2026

1.Old Funchal Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 511 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $19Our pick

A 2-hour walking tour through Funchal Old Town, with Jesuit history, the Mercado dos Lavradores, cathedral sights, and a wine tasting.

“Our guide was delightful, considerate and very knowledgable of the history of Funchal and Madeira in general. My wife is hard of hearing and once she knew this she made a point of having my wife stand close, so as not to miss what was being said. If you are interested in the history of the place you are visiting than look no further this tour is great value.”

Madeira East Island Tour with Levada Walk and Lunch

/ August 4, 2026

2.Madeira East Island Tour with Levada Walk and Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 174 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $66

Madeira east coast day trip with levada walk, Santana and Camacha villages, 3-course lunch, wine, and Porto Cruz rum tasting.

“The write up for this experience is incorrect and misleading. It is not a small trip of 8 - there were 22 people on our day trip. Lunch is not included. The tour guide, while very knowledgeable, drops you at each point and you’re left to get on with it. The minibus had very small seats with very little legroom. I am a UK size 8 of average height and I felt cramped, many other fellow travellers were complaining too. I spent quite some time researching trips for this holiday and have used Viator many times before - this has been our first poor experience.”

Private Guided Walk Levada Caldeirao Verde

14.Private Guided Walk Levada Caldeirao Verde

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 22 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $108

Private guided levada walk to Caldeirão Verde from Pico das Pedras with Funchal pickup, UNESCO Laurisilva, VIP transport, and live commentary.

“Our guide, Marco, was wonderful. He picked us up on time and gave lots of information about the levadas and flora and fauna. Caution: The walk is far more challenging than other reviews would lead one to believe. I cannot fault Marco or the experience at all but it was almost too much for me and took about 6 1/2 hours total. If you don't have very good balance or much experience with rough terrain choose an easier walk. Marco was very helpful to me when I struggled and kept emphasizing that we could take all the time we needed.”
