This has been by far one of the best tours I’ve ever had. Andre was extremely helpful and accommodating. He knows the Island very well and the tour was full of historical, cultural as well as fun facts about the Azores. Furthermore, every site we visited was beautiful and mind-blowing. Not disappointed at all. 10000 % recommend it.
