Great experience with a local guide

Mario is a fantastic person to travel around the island of Sao Miguel/ Punta Delgada. My partner and I hired him for 2 days and he exceeded our expectations. As the weather was constantly changing he was able to flex the itinerary so we got the most out of each day. Knowledgeable on a wide variety of topics related to the Azores, easy going, and a good driver, I would highly recommend him. It really made our trip even more enjoyable.

Great tour!

Our group of 4 adults had a wonderful experience with our guide Mario. We had great prior communication and we customized our tour based on Mario's advice for our 4 hours . Mario's knowledge in every location from history to vegetation was exceptional. I would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend him to others !
