About operator:

The History Tellers project tries to present the Funchal of the past and the present-day city. In this unique experience, a group of visitors is guided by a young student to discover the history of Funchal in the place where it grew, among real streets and buildings. Through historical research, being constantly developed and supervised by scholars from the University, we take several stories out of the paper in the form of real story, explaining the current situation in relation to the transformations over time.
