One of the Top Highlights of Our Azores Trip! - This tour was absolutely one of the standout experiences of our ten days in the Azores. I’ll admit, I was initially hesitant to book since there weren’t many reviews—but the ones that were posted were so glowing that we decided to go for it. I’m so glad we did! Kevin went above and beyond to make the day smooth and enjoyable. He picked us up right at our hotel, and even circled back at the end of the tour so we could grab our luggage before dropping us off at the airport. That level of accommodation was really appreciated. This tour is perfect for travelers who want more than just a quick photo op at scenic lookouts. Kevin took us to culturally and geologically fascinating spots, many of which we never would have discovered on our own. We had time to walk around, explore, and learn as he shared insights into the island’s history, geology, and native plants. One of the highlights was the picnic lunch he provided—fresh, delicious, and enjoyed at a breathtaking coastal location. Kevin was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and easy to talk to throughout the day. If you're looking for a thoughtful, enriching, and memorable way to experience the Azores, I cannot recommend this tour enough!

A visit to the corners of Pico - A great experience to dive into the heart of Pico Island. Kevin passed on his passion for this unique island and showed us around places we certainly wouldn't have gone alone. The visit was very well documented, prepared, rhythmic, ...with a touch of lightness despite everything!
