Knowledgeable Local Guide, Amazing tour! - Ramiro was INCREDIBLE! He knew so much about the island and gave us great insight into the history as well as the local’s experience. He gave us plenty of time to explore the sites on our own and gave us suggestions for how to get the most out of each experience. I would highly recommend this tour - one of our top experiences in the Azores!

A Great Introduction to Faial - Ramiro was an excellent host. Just 6 of us in the tour, a good number to get involved with the others and with Ramiro. Faial is a beautiful island with an interesting history. I strongly recommend this tour.

Great island and a fantastic guide! - In these tours the guide plays a very important role, and we were lucky to have Ramiro. Although we had booked 3 different tours on different islands in the Azores, Ramiro was the only one to message me a day in advance, providing me with his contact number and the comfort that we're on track; this was greatly appreciated!!! Ramiro was also fantastic in explaining the various stops, and checking whether we want to alter anything, whether we want to spend more or less time at each stop, catering for our interests. This made the tour quite fabulous!

Great tour with Ramiro! - We did a half day trip, as we took the ferry over from Pico where we were staying. The tour and our guide Ramiro were fantastic! The views were beautiful and interesting. Ramiro was very knowledgeable, friendly, and funny, that he made the tour that much more enjoyable. Next time, I will do a full day or hiking tour to see more of the beautiful island. 100% recommend!

A pile of crap. - What a pile of rubbish. Van never turned up at pick up point. Stole my money and won’t refund. Corrupt criminal business.
