To many to say. So many places to swim, hike, and natural hot springs - There’s no better person to show you this amazing island with all its secrets. You need someone from the island that knows all the trails and waterfalls, and the best part is he lived it Canada for awhile so he speaks English and French and Portuguese. He’s also very into athletics, so if running or hiking trails are your thing or cycling around the island he’s also your guy. And on top of all this he’s just a very upbeat and happy person very much into wellness and peace of mind. Definitely worth every penny.

Hiking Sete Cidades - We booked a tour with Ruben and the experience with him was truly amazing. We had the day booked and being in São Miguel, the weather dictates where we went. As Ruben would say, “The weather is the Boss!” He took us on a hike on a cloudy day through Sete Cidades. The hike was more for the experience through the area than sightseeing. Trails we hiked were clear and clean minus some puddles. It was great and had an awesome time with Ruben. He explained his experiences and also showed us his home town after. We’ve kept contact with him thorough out our trip as he gave us many recommendations. I definitely recommend using Ruben if you want a cultural experience on São Miguel island. I bet it’s even better when the weather is great. Thanks again!

Best experience in the Azores! - Ruben is very passionate, friendly and knowledgeable about the Azores. Our day was full of adventures hiking beautiful places that we would have not found on our own. He made our stay there the best experience of our Portugal trip and personalized what we did for our needs. He also recommended additional great places to see after and delicious restaurants in the area. If you visit Ponta Delgada, hiking with Ruben is a most! He is a lot of fun and he will create memories for life. Ruben takes pictures while hiking too. I would personally recommend this experience to everyone.
