Review of Madeira’s 3-hour village safari from Funchal, with cliff views, Nun’s Valley, a short off-road ride, and practical booking advice.
“A good tour and excellent guide (John). He was a wealth of information. We learned about things modern, old, and ancient. Definitely try to the Consha! At first, I thought the off road component was going yo be silly/gimmicky but it turned out to be one of the best highlights if the trip! The only reason I rated a four is that the jeep is quite uncomfortable in the back.”

“För dig som vill åka på rundresa mellan hotellen i Funchal och dess omgivningar är detta helt rätt utflykt. Turen skulle enligt programmet ta 3,5 timmar, men tog för oss, som hämtades först och lämnades sist över 4,5 timmar. Av det var 2 timmar vandring. Resten av tiden spenderades i buss. Chauffören och guiden var bra, men upplägget dåligt.”
