Claudia was an exceptional tour guide!

We recently went to Flores on a once-in-a-lifetime trip with the entire family. My mother originates from Flores, and she had not been back in 34 years! Claudia understood from the beginning that we wanted to see the sites, we may actually need to add a few extra sites from my mother’s past. She added a stop at my Mom’s church and a small whaling museum. At the church, my Mom got to show my niece’s where she was baptized. At the whaling museum, she saw a cousin’s photo. She went over and beyond and truly made this tour a special memory.

Knowing that this tour allowed your mother to reconnect with her past, revisit such meaningful places and share your family’s history with the next generation is incredibly special to us. We’re delighted to hear that Cláudia helped make this day even more memorable for your family. Knowing that your experience exceeded your expectations makes us very happy, because that’s exactly why we chose to do what we do. Thank you for allowing us to be part of such a beautiful family memory. We hope to welcome you back to Flores one day. 💚

Unforgettable Day Exploring Flores with Exceptional Guides!

I had a great time touring this lovely Island with its breathtaking views. I especially loved the local guides — Fillipa with her vast knowledge of the island, Claudia with her wonderful photography skills, and Thaise for organizing everything so smoothly. Each of them added something unique to the experience and made the day feel both personal and memorable. Buffet lunch was delicious, most especially the bean dish. If you want to see the best of Flores in one day with zero stress, this tour is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended.

Review for Claudia - Wonderful Tour

Claudia was wonderfully accommodating! As a local, her insights painted a vivid picture of island life. Even with cloud cover limiting some views, she filled the time with fascinating stories about the island’s history, ecology, and culture. She seamlessly translated between English and Spanish, ensuring everyone felt included, and even helped guests navigate rough terrain on the hike to the waterfalls. Her warmth, knowledge, and care made the experience unforgettable!
