The perfect guide for Pico - We had an amazing time climbing Mount Pico with Raisa as our guide! She was super friendly, energetic, and kept the mood really positive the whole way up. What really stood out was how much she helped my husband, who’s afraid of heights. She was so patient and supportive, and honestly, he wouldn’t have been able to do it without her. We’re so grateful for her encouragement and positive vibes. If you're looking for a guide who’s not only professional but also really fun to be around, Raisa is the best! Highly recommend her.

A fantastic hike to the top of Pico - My hike with Raisa to the top of Pico was fantastic. Raisa is very easy to get along with, she encourages in all the right places and provided support when people needed it. She is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the mountain and kept us entertained with some interesting and funny stories. I felt very safe under her guidance and highly recommend taking the hike with her.

Must do when in Pico. Tough, but worth it. - The climb of Pico appeared to be more challanging than we thought, but was all worth it. The path is steep and rocky, but most of the time the grip is good. Raisa has done an amaizing job showing us the best path to go. She was very supportive and without her we wouldn't make it to the top. The view in the crater and later on Picolino are soo good. The filling you are climbing an active vulcano cannot be described. I really recommend going with GoClimbAzores as Raisa is a great person and has 700+ hikes on Pico. She knows every centimeter.

Unique experience! - The climb of the Pico and Piquinho is unique, all the way is beautiful, very different to walk on a volcanic terrain and see the ancient cones of volcanoes. The arrival to the summit is wonderful, the view is beautiful! Raisa is very experienced, technically and also super attentive to everyone in the group. The pace of the walk is appropriate and the information and explanations great. I highly recommend the tour!

Guided by the Best to Heavenly Views - Nunu was an amazing guide who ensured that our group made it to the top and bottom of Pico safe and sound. Nunu shared so many fascinating stories about the history, people, food and culture of Pico and the surrounding Azorean islands. Nunu is a caring guide with integrity, and an admirable sense of pride and love for what he does as a trustworthy leader taking visitors to Pico’s heavenly peak! My husband and I are grateful for his leadership in guiding us to Piquinho!

Must do - Fantastic hike! It's definitely worth it. Check-out at 7:10 and arrival at 14:30 below. I was a bit afraid it would be too difficult but we succeeded! Then we asked for a French Speaking Guide which made it easier for our teens to understand and interact with the Guide (13 and 15 years old). In the end the Guide spoke English... I would have liked a few more breaks to admire these magnificent landscapes. Be careful when you go to the rendezvous point. We have to hit the road at the Madalena Check-out because we ended up on a dirt track all at once. We had a road after Sao Mateo. Not great for the rental car... one last Trip Tip: put on sunscreen and mandatory hiking shoes. Couple refused because they were not well equipped
