    East Coast Tour

    We had a first class day out with Dino from Summer Anatomy tours. Pick up 8:30am from our apartment. The tour of the east was relaxed and informative and at a pace that suited us. Our guide was extremely knowledgable, courteous and a great ambassador for the island and his company. We all felt very safe with Dino at the wheel!

    Response from the operator: I Miss Karen.. Tank you so much for your Excelent Review and Recomendation from Dino your Friendly Guide Was a Pleasure to Guide above this two days Dino.... No more subject The Best Regards Dinarte Sousa CEO

    Fabulous tour of the East Coast

    Our tour of the East Coast was amazing on 27th June. Unfortunately we didn't manage to get views of Pica da Adaga because of the low cloud but our tour guide Deano made up for missing this by taking us to extra view points. Deano was very knowledgeable and about the island and a fantastic guide. There was only four of us on the tour and he made sure everyone enjoyed it. The traditional houses at Santanna were lovely and Manuel welcomed us into his home, gave us a coffee liqueur and took a photo of us outside his house, which was fantastic. Would definitely recommend this tour. Thank you, Marion & Ian

    Response from the operator: Hello my Dear Friends... Tank you so much for your Excelent Review and Recomendation from Dino your Friendly Guide Tour. We hope to see you one day.. No more subject The Best Regards Dinarte Sousa CEO.

    The East Tour-Pico do Areeiro,Santana & Pico do Facho Small Group: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.

    How much does The East Tour-Pico do Areeiro,Santana & Pico do Facho Small Group cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Funchal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does The East Tour-Pico do Areeiro,Santana & Pico do Facho Small Group take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Funchal is not rushed.

    Is The East Tour-Pico do Areeiro,Santana & Pico do Facho Small Group worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 265 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Funchal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The East Tour-Pico do Areeiro,Santana & Pico do Facho Small Group?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is The East Tour-Pico do Areeiro,Santana & Pico do Facho Small Group suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The East Tour-Pico do Areeiro,Santana & Pico do Facho Small Group?

    +

    Around 93 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Funchal can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Funchal and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The East Tour-Pico do Areeiro,Santana & Pico do Facho Small Group start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Funchal within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Funchal?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Funchal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jeep Tour Amazing West to Natural Pools -Full-Day, Porto Moniz, Seixal, Fanal Forest, Cliff Skywalk in Open Roof 4X4, Madeira 4x4 Jeep Safari : Porto Moniz, Lava Pools & Fanal Forest. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Funchal?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Funchal?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in The East Tour-Pico do Areeiro,Santana & Pico do Facho Small Group?

    Included: Air conditioning in the minibus; Booster seat; Certified local guides; Pick-up included in Funchal; and Free cancellation up to 24 hours.

    What languages is The East Tour-Pico do Areeiro,Santana & Pico do Facho Small Group offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for The East Tour-Pico do Areeiro,Santana & Pico do Facho Small Group?

    +

    Is The East Tour-Pico do Areeiro,Santana & Pico do Facho Small Group wheelchair or stroller accessible?
