Madeira: Nuns Valley Half-Day Tour - Eira do Serrado, the Viewpoint That’s Worth Building Your Photos Around

Half-day Madeira tour from Funchal to Nuns Valley, top views at Eira do Serrado, and a Churchill link in Câmara de Lobos.

“It was the first tour guide we'd had on the trip who was coherent as an English speaker! She was also much more informative than others and friendlier too. Excellent language skills. I would have preferred it to be English only, but it didn't bother me much. Stops were just the right length to explore a little and get a good number of photos.”
