Excellent Tour - We did an excellent half day tour with Andreas. He's extremely knowledgeable about the island and a wonderful guide. He provided us with so much historical information, as well as information about life on the island. The island has a lot of variety. There were plenty of opportunities for photos and we never felt rushed. He also brought sandwiches, beer, and water, which we really appreciated! Highly recommended!

A tour that is worth it - Great tour Very personal guidance Very nice process Good timing Nice atmosphere Very clear recommendation

Great tour = 10 out 10 - Best tour in Faial. Get to know all the spots with a friendly local. The sandwiches aren't bad either :) highly recommended

Family of 5 Adults Visiting the Azores - We were a family of 5 adults visiting the Azores for the first time. We booked a Full Day Private Tour of Faial and a Full day Private Tour of Pico with Visit Faial. Andreas was our guide. He picked us at our hotel promptly at the appointed time on both days. Andreas drove us around the island in his van, stopping to visit the places we had requested as well as the ones Andreas had suggested. On the second day he picked us up at our hotel again, drove us to the ferry and we all took the ferry to Pico for our second full day tour. He has a wealth of infortmation about the island which provided great background to what we were seeing. On both days we visited all the places we had requested and more as well. We enjoyed a picnic lunch with him on both days and he also had a basket with water and snacks for us in his van. The lunches were made by his wife and they were delicious. Andreas was fluent in English and he made our visit a very memorable one. He was dependable, friendly, respectful, knowledgeable, polite, a good driver and an all round excellent tour guide! Recommend him 100%! He definitely went the extra mile.

Fantastic Finds in Faial - We had a wonderful time with Andreas learning about Faial. Even as a 1/2 day tour we experienced a lot. We’d highly recommend this tour!

Incredible Tour!! - Our private tour with Andreas was just perfect. We can’t believe how many beautiful sights we saw in such a short amount of time. Andreas is very knowledgeable and engaging. He made us feel very comfortable. Highly recommend taking a tour with Andreas while you are in the Azores, it is worth every penny!

Educational and exciting! - We are happy that we found such a great service. Andreas is a very good tour guide- dhows the island and talks excitingly about island history and geological phenomena. We made a half- day tour, but there are lot to see and would be wise to choose a day tour. Extra points for homemade sandwiches!

A Deep and Personal Tour of Faial - A half day tour of Faial Island, Azores, provided by Visitfaial, was wonderful. Tour guide Andreas, who hails from Switzerland, speaks English, Portuguese, German and a few other languages, all fluently. Andreas, who has traveled extensively and lived in several countries, moved permanently to Faial with his wife and young daughter, convinced there is no better place on earth to raise a child. Andreas knows the flora, fauna, history, geography and culture of the island and shares this information with detail and passion. You will leave this tour with an amazing depth and breadth of knowledge, and a lasting love for Faial if you ask for Andreas!

Highly recommend this tour- a perfect introduction to this beautiful island. - Andreas gave us a terrific tour. His knowledge of the geology, history, plants and people of Faial was wonderful. We loved it!

Excellent way to see island - Excellent tour, Andreas showed us all the beauty of Faial. This may be my favorite island and the extras provided by Andreas were only a plus. I highly recommend this tour.
