Went for a half day tour with Mariano. He was very informative and passionate about his job. I learned so much about Azores. I am the only English speaker on the group and I appreciate that he interprets everything even the small conversations of the group that I did not feel left out. Definitely recommended.

We had a fantastic day with Ruiz, he is so friendly and knowledgeable about the islands, history, flora and fauna. He was patient and took us to some amazing views and experiences from our cruise ship, it was easy to find him at the terminal and he dropped us back there in good time for sailing. Thank you very much for a great day!

Rui the guide was awesome and knowledgeable. Went to off the beaten path to see unusual sights. Spoke fluent English and French and Portuguese.

Wonderful guide, great company, thorough tour of what I imagine are the most breathtaking spots on the island! Thankfully, the weather was absolutely beautiful. I don't have time to write much, I will try to update and upload pics soon, but I did not want to overlook writing a review. Our day was perfect 🙏... An experience our family will not forget.

Our guide, Riu, was very good. His English was excellent and his knowledge of the area and sociol history was very good. The trip was comfortable, but the weather did not cooperate and we had cloudy, windy weather at the top of the caldera, so we did not have a very good view of Lagoa do Fogo. But he expanded the trip to include a visit to the tea plantation where he gave us a very good oversight into the process. And a visit to a pineapple plantation, where he gave us a description of that business, as well. The scenery on the trip was great, Riu spoke of the native species with skill, and spoke of his country with knowledge and passion.

Lovely tour with a very knowledgeable guide! We were unlucky weather wise so we couldn’t enjoy the Mountain Views, but we had quite a nice time and some alternatives were found to go to some nice beautiful places.

This is a great way to see parts of the island. We de aged renting a car, it when all was said and done, tours like this were much better because your guide (Hugo) had so much local knowledge. I’d definitely do this again.
