Funchal City Tours: Explore Madeira's Capital

20 tours · €16–€310 per person · ★ 4.8

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.

20 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.
