A great tour through an impressive landscape! - Very interesting and recommended. Our tour guide was Gabriel, a very friendly and educated young man who enjoyed sharing his extensive knowledge with us and telling us about the history of wine growing on the island. We learned a lot of interesting things and saw very nice places. At noon, we were in a restaurant where mostly locals travel. The food was incredibly varied, rich and very good, comparable to our home cooking. We also heard a lot of interesting facts and stories about cultivation, climate, farming, harvesting and distribution during the wine tasting. Afterwards Gabriel showed us some nice bathing spots on the island. All in all, we were very impressed by the warm and very friendly nature of the people, the extensive knowledge of our guide and the beauty of nature. We would do this again immediately! PS: We were also "lucky" that there were only two of us, as the other participants had cancelled at short notice. But that basically doesn't change the friendliness and the interesting tour:-)

Great tour! - Great tour with great guide. Total experience about wine but also Pico in general. Food was great in real Portugese ambiance. Mustdo in Pico.

Wonderful and Informative Tour! - Our guide (Felipe) was amazing and super informed of the island's history and wine! Tasting local wines and the treat of local cuisine, this is def a great crash course into getting know more about Pico and the vineyards on the island!

Wonderful All-Around Wine Experience - My 3 friends and I had a wonderful day on our tour, even with intermittent rain showers. Every stop on the tour was well-planned. Filipe worked around the rain and we were still able to see and do everything on our itinerary. The wineries and lunch were yummy. This was not my first visit to Pico but I learned so much about the history and winemaking practices. I highly recommend this tour for a relaxed but jam-packed day.

Eye-Opening Pico Island Day Trip - Felipe was a fantastic guide! He explained a lot of the history of Pico Island and the Azores, and he showed us some wonderful sites we wouldn’t have seen without a guide. He worked to accommodate our group really well. Not mentioned in the description, but the lunch, at a popular local restaurant, was vegan (and gluten free) friendly.

Great Tour - very insightful and informative - Very nice, experienced and friendly guide. History of the island, the wine culture and unique places were shown and described perfectly. The time with Filipe is very well spent and we would recommend it to anyone who visits Pico Island!

Great introduction to Pico! - Wonderful tour with Felipe! It included wine and liqueur tasting, but we also say a lot of other things on Pico. Felipe was an expert guide who answered all of our questions. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful way to experience Pico! - Fantastic all-day tour of Pico! It included wine and brandy tasting, but also so much more! Felipe was a wonderful expert tour guide who provided fascinating information and answered all our questions. We highly recommend!!

Wonderful wine tour and introduction to the heritage of wine making on Pico - Although our ferry from Faial arrived in Pico after the start time of our tour, Filipe and the rest of our tour group patiently waited for us. We set off on a truly wondrous trip along the north coast of Pico heading toward a brandy and liquor distillery. Along the way, Filipe stopped to show us new and abandoned vineyards, picturesque views, and told us all about the unique heritage of making wine and living on the quiet island of Pico. After the brandy distillery, Filipe took us to a delicious lunch, owned and operated by a local family in Madalena. Then we set off again to see some breath taking sights, and to experience more sights, smells and tastes of Pico before arriving at a winery just outside Madalena. To finish our day tour, Filipe took us to a beautiful village, barely touched by humans except for a 400 year old windmill. This windmill, sitting between the Atlantic ocean and the base of Mount Pico, seemed to guard the beautiful traditions of Pico life. Obrigado Filipe!!

Nice tour, a bit too long - The tour from Felippe was nice, he showed us the vineyards and some nice local spots on the island we would have never visited otherwise. He knew a lot a out the island and everything on it. We even stopped at his mothers place to try real homemade Azorean liqour! However, the tour was a bit long for our taste and there were a few stops that felt a bit unnecessary.
