Madeira Walking Food & Drink Tour
By Tapas Walks · listed in wine tasting and food tours in Madeira
This suits you if you prefer to find the food stops yourself. Tapas Walks supplies a digital route around the Mercado dos Lavradores. There's no guide walking with you.
Food and drinks at the stops are included. You'll receive the meeting location by WhatsApp on the day. Starts are available each hour from 11:00 to 15:00, Monday to Saturday.
Ask how many stops to expect and how long to allow. The route descriptions disagree. I'd settle that before fitting this around a cruise departure.
