Best Day Excursion - Furnas/Ponta Delgada - We found Artur through Viator from other reviews. He is super responsive and can customize a day trip or longer excursion for your group. We had a 3 year old with 6 adults so we needed to do child friendly activities. Artur handled it all getting us booked to try thermal baths and pre-arranged a fabulous “cozido” lunch at Restaurante Banhos Ferreos! It was AMAZING! Thank you Artur! We will look at contacting you about your Air BnB. Best wishes, Kathryn

Excellent option with customized trip plans - We met Artur upon arrival in port and we decided to take a private, custom tour with Artur's help and suggestions. The tour was excellent and we had a lovely 4 1/2 hours being shown around this beautiful Island.

Enjoyed the island in the best way.... - Arthur was a very professional, passionate individual both my husband and I truly enjoyed a whole day. He accomodated the tour based on what we wanted to see, eat, drink, and experiment😀 We were so lucky to contact him. We got only one day before heading to Flores Island. In case we rented a car ourselves and wondered around the island, we decided to ask a professional guide to guide us. It is hard to do everything when you just came in as a foreigner. We would highly recommend him to anyone. He is so knowledgeable. I told him that he should also consider becoming a college professor😀

Best Tour Guide In Sao Miguel- 9 Day Trip Wouldn't Have Been The Same Without ARTUR!! - Artur single handedly made our trip in Sao Miguel memorable. He was so down to earth, great at explaining all types of scenarios (history, geography, culture, food, etc) from all different perspectives. He was able to look at his own country through many different lenses and provide a more well rounded experience than we ever could have hoped for. He was punctual, flexible, always accommodating, funny and kind on top of it. He took guiding us to a whole new level, finding ways to relate to everybody (7 in the tour group) on our trip. At the end of our 9 day journey, Artur told us we always had family in Sao Miguel now, and we really feel like it! Couldn't imagine going on this adventure with a different guide! Ps he knows all the best photo spots!

Hike - We had chosen a hike from Faial da Terra to Sanguinho and Salto do Prego with pickup in Ponta Delgado. During the whole trip, we got lots of good and exciting information in excellent English. The hike was a bit demanding but the nature was very beautiful, and after the hike we stopped at several places to drink from the "spring of life" or enjoy the view from a high point. Although we have driven around the area before, there were many new things to see and hear.

Wonderful highlights tour with knowledgeable and thoughtful guide! - My family and I spent two wonderful days with Artur, and they were among the best parts of a wonderful six days we spent on the island or Sao Miguel. Artur is kind and helpful, knowledgeable, and has a very good sense of people (including children!)! His tour balanced beautiful viewpoints, good conversation, refreshments when needed, and time for our family to enjoy some locations for longer than a brief stop absolutely perfectly! I can't say enough nice things about him. When I asked my kids what their very favorite things from our trip were, my 16-year-old answered that Artur was his favorite.

Amazing tour guide and day! - We took a tour with Arthur. He was great at communicating before the trip, and more than punctual the day of. He took us to so many amazing viewpoints and locations. It was a wonderful day. We would definitely book with him again and would hesitate to recommend him to anyone!

Private tour - Artur was amazing and he made our trip the most memorable one. We were 8 girls who wanted to see the whole island in 3 days and he made it happen even in a storm. He also went out of his way and dropped us to our water activity the next day for free. I am so glad we had him for our private tour. I would highly remind Artur for any private tours.

Outstanding experience with Artur! - Artur is amazing. As an Azorean native who lived elsewhere and came back to São Miguel, he has so much knowledge and insight into the island and all of Azores. He packed the day with amazing sights without it feeling rushed. I -highly- recommend booking Artur.
