We are currently offering 3 excursions in Funchal
With its mild climate, Funchal has become a great getaway for cruise ship shore excursion guests as well as Europeans seeking warmth. Funchal has been the capital of the island of Madeira for more than five centuries. The introduction of grapes for wine happened soon after the first settlers landed and by the 1600s the Madeira wines became popular and even mentioned by Shakespeare. The island's geographic location, between the Mediterranean and all ports west, and its abundance of fresh produce and water, made it an important maritime port for pirates as well as captains such as Christopher Columbus. The Old Town section is a great place just to lose yourself in the narrow streets and squares. Near the old town, there is a cable car that will take you up to Monte, a large hill. For over 100 years, products and people descended from Monte via wicker toboggan sleds that are steered by two runners using ropes. This is a tradition everyone should try once and it is fun for all ages.
