Zona Velha

History tells us that the first settlement in the city of Funchal emerged in the area that is currently known as 'Zona Velha' (Downtown). The great heritage and architectural value of this part of the city makes it a must-see that deserves to be experienced both by day and by night. Funchal Downtown is known for its narrow cobbled streets, embellished by the typical façades of old houses. With the 'Portas Pintadas' (Painted Doors) project, this urban scenario has become even more attractive. The artistic community was invited to make interventions on buildings' doors and façades, turning this area into an alfresco art gallery.

Great start to our Madeira trip

We did the tour yesterday as a couple and Matt showed us a number of great places we’ll be returning to during our holiday in Madeira along with information on the various local drinks. Conversation flowed easily and Matt also provided a number of recommendations for restaurants and hikes for us to visit. Thanks again Matt! For anyone wondering whether to book this tour i’d 100% recommend it as a fun way to start off your trip to Madeira

Excellent choice of venues - combining a good variety of drinks and culture

Excellent choice of venues, which combined the new craft beer scene, with a visit to a traditional pharmacy, which served local white wine; Madeira Wine in the old town; and finishing with a Poncha workshop. Very excited to see the new venue of the Beer Lab. Matt was an excellent guide with lots of good information on wine and Madeira itself!

What workshop?

The tour guide was very helpful, friendly and open. However, according to the title and description of the activity, we really expected a workshop where we could make a poncha ourselves. However, this was not the case. The activity was a bar tour where the drinks listed in the description were tasted. Wie had booked the tour mainly because of the workshop and were then disappointed as this part did not happen. For the bar tour alone, I find the price-performance ratio unjustified and the title a...read more
