    Ricardo took his time, answered all my questions. He has a history and geology background, so explained both in detail, and I love both those subjects. Took our time, had me try a local pastry, made some side stops. I love walking tours.

    This was the best tour I've taken of this island. Ricardo has a clear love for the island, the city of Angra, and the history of Portugal and he weaves it all together into a really well done, comprehensive tour. I loved all offbeat facts he has to share and I feel like I learned more about the culture and history of this country in those few hours than I did in the 2.5 years of living here. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get to know this beautiful place more.
