Madeira south area Tour
The tour showcased the beauty and diversity of Madeira's southern coastline, and I found myself captivated by the stunning landscapes, vibrant villages, and rich cultural heritage throughout the tour. It's totally recommendable after you visited everything in Funchal.

The tour booked with Living Tours was worth it. We were a small group in a small van. The guide was very helpful, gave us a lot of information about the island. Recommend to everyone
