Wonderful Tour with Guide 5* - The Tour was fantastic, excellent sights of unique beauty. Although we went with other families we felt like we were on a private tour. Our Guide was Helena and words are not enough to describe how wonderful she is! All the attention he gave us, all the care given to the children made our experience unique. We have done several such tours and I must say that Helena was the best Guide we met. Both in terms of knowledge about the history of the island, about the places we visited, as well as a guide exhymia (roads in the Azores can be very challenging). And, of course, he managed to give a unique attention to each of the people who went on the tour.

Amazing tour, amazing guide ! - My tour guide, Helena, was an outstanding and made my experience unforgettable. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the island's history, culture, and hidden gems but also had a warm and friendly demeanor that instantly put everyone at ease. Helena went above and beyond to ensure we saw the best the island had to offer, taking us to both popular landmarks and lesser-known spots that truly captured the island’s beauty. Her ability to connect with each person in the group created a sense of camaraderie that made the tour even more enjoyable. Whether sharing fascinating stories or offering helpful tips, Helena’s passion for the island shone through every moment. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
