Funchal City Tours: Explore Madeira's Capital

15 tours · €16.4–€310 · ★ 4.7

Funchal is Madeira's base camp, and a guided tour is the simplest way to get under its skin without renting a car or working out bus routes. Book a Funchal tour and the logistics are handled for you, so your day is about the old town, the markets and the coast instead of parking and timetables.

When you compare Funchal tours, think about what you actually want from the day. We'd say yes to an Old Funchal walking tour for the lanes, the painted doors and the cathedral quarter, and pair it with a half-day or full-day excursion east toward Machico and the dramatic cliffs around Ponta de São Lourenço. If you want a bit more of a rush, the beginner canyoning trips run from here and need no experience. Private guides set the pace; small-group tours keep the price down, and most include hotel pickup.

15 guided tours in Funchal from €16. Private and small-group, half-day and full-day, hotel pickup and free cancellation on most - easy to book online.

Planning a trip to Madeira

Best time to visit

Madeira is known as the island of eternal spring, with mild temperatures all year. Spring and early autumn are ideal for levada walks and mountain views; summer is warm and busy, and winter is popular for sunshine and the famous New Year fireworks.

Getting there & around

Flights land at Madeira Airport (FNC) near Funchal. The island is mountainous with winding roads, so a 4x4 jeep tour, organised excursion or hired car is the easiest way to reach the levadas, peaks and north-coast villages.
