What you can expect

The tour starts with a short briefing. Follow your guide to visit the nearby local ethnographic museum. Stroll the pittoresque historic centre and learn about the public squares and landmarks that shaped the first capital. Visit the must-see iconic São Miguel Arcanjo church, and witness the surrounding 16th century architecture built by first settlers.

Board a Van for a 5-minute drive up to 1764 “Our Lady Peace” chapel, overlooking Vila Franca do Campo and the Islet, uncover one of the most magical Atlantic island views. On your way, stop for a short guided tour to the local traditional glasshouse pineapples plantation, see first-hand how this genuine and peculiar fruit is traditionally grown, a secret of this famously sweet fruit!

At 17:00 It is time to be back to the Marina for checkout, but not before a taste of the most looked-after local delicacy, the renowned “Queijada of Vila Franca” for a relaxing tour ending on a high note.
