Outstanding Santa Maria Island Tour with Henrique! - Great day. Henrique is a great tour guide and driver. He took us to every main spot on the Island and covered a lot a back roads. He is very knowledgeable about the history, natural items (plants and rocks) and how the Island came to be. We had a very enjoyable picnic lunch he provided and a lot of good conversation and great information. Highly recommend. If 10/10 is a good recommendation, I would say he earned a 15/10. He loves what he does and is excellent at it.

Best tour - This was the best tour with our tour guide Henrique Simone’s. Some of the most beautiful sights of the island. We traveled the back roads around the whole island. Then we went to the highest point on the island, and our last stop was on the beach. I came here for work but had a day to do this tour. If you get a chance and come here please contact Bootla and you will enjoy the best tour about the famous island. My sincere thank you for this tour. 5 plus stars.

It was a magnificent ride. To do it once in your life - Magnificent landscapes to recommend. The time wasn't really there. But I saw landscapes that you don't see elsewhere.

Marvelous tour! - Been traveling all over the world for more then 30 years and did a lot of guided tours everywhere and most of them were good, but yesterday I really had the best tour of my life! Henrique appeared to be a very enthousiastic, smart and kind person who told and showed me so many interesting things with so much passion for the island he lives on, that he really made me fall in love with this beautiful island within a few hours. So look no further if you want to have the ultimate tour experience on Santa Maria. I'll certainly be back!
