Walking and eating in Madeira
Anna our guide was extremely knowledgeable and an excellent guide. The tour was first rate and I would recommend it to anyone. Having booked this tour it made me out to be a genius, Anna explained they every time they do the tour they will change the restaurants and the itinerary, to keep it fresh. My compliments again to Anna and a thumbs up to anyone wishing to take this tour.
None it was perfect.
