Great Hike with an Amazing Guide!

Pedro was an excellent guide and really made this hike special. He was full of energy and genuinely excited to be outdoors and sharing his knowledge. He took the time to stop and explain things along the way, and even helped us take pictures and look more closely at the nature around us. The hike itself was beautiful, with great weather and a gorgeous waterfall as the highlight. It was a little crowded around the waterfall with people swimming, but we found a peaceful spot nearby to enjoy the provided sandwich. We also explored Sanguinho village, stopped at a little café, and continued down toward the ocean. It was a great day and I highly recommend this walk. And if you get Pedro as your guide, you’re in for an even better experience!

Wonderful Day with Great Guide!

A wonderful hike with our great guide (forgot her name (something like Nadine?) but there can’t be too many friendly and bubbly ladies from Germany as guides there). Waterfall was great stop for lunch and cooling off. Abandoned village special to see. A wonderful day in the Azores and a highlight for sure!

Great customer service

Due to airline travel issues we couldn’t make this hike and were past the cancellation timeline. In spite of that they made every effort to reschedule the hike later in the week. When that fell through they still gave us a refund. Can’t say anything about the hike, but their customer service is outstanding!!

Excellent tours

Our small group of 4 had a wonderful adventure exploring Sao Miguel.   We wanted to compliment our lovely tour guide Susanna from picos de aventura tour company. Over the last several days, Susanna has been an exceptional, highly skilled tour guide. She should be celebrated for her deep local knowledge  of history, culture, and nature.  She is welcoming, confident,  and very friendly. Susanna is organized, attentive, and articulate. When she is not hosting clients, it is very obvious she is preparing and studying to supplement her knowledge of Azores. She was also able to adapt our plans based on weather and personal  preferences. She was a very safe, responsible, and competent driver.  In additional to her remarkable professionalism, Susanna has  a wonderful personality and a great sense of humour. She is a very special person. We were very fortunate to have Susanna as our tour guide. We would highly recommend Susanna to all visitors. Thank you very much.

Day Hike to Sanguinho

We enjoyed the hike to the waterfall and old village. The scenery was beautiful despite the rain during part of the hike. Philippe provided historical knowledge to help fill in the story of this beautiful island and did a wonderful job!

Was ok

It was ok. Lots of driving for a short hike. Nice countryside. Colourful chicken in the way. Waterfall looks nice, we were unlucky to see murky water that day. Overall I would not say this your is a must… There are very many tours packed with local attractions. I suggest to add some other attractions to that day/tour to make it more appealing.

Excellent and enjoyable

This is a very interesting walk of medium difficulty. Walking poles are useful. Our guide was very informative and knowledgeable, she drove us very competently and took us to several view points on the way back. Thank you.
