Creator's Key Takeaways

I definitely would would you do this excursion again I wouldn't

funchal is a beautiful place to go if you get the chance to visit

the wine tasting at the end of it wasn't wine tasting wasn't wine tasting I would say it was wine sampling

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions directly through Virgin for peace of mind regarding ship departure.
Be prepared for significant walking and steep inclines, especially if visiting on a wet day.
Consider accessibility needs, as the tour involves many steps and is not accessible.

Accessibility and physical demandsThe tour is strenuous with many steps and steep inclines; not suitable for those with mobility or visual impairments.
