Artur- Amazing views but even better company! - Artur was an absolute dream tour guide ! We booked an all day private tour hoping to see as much of the island as we could on our very short visit and Artur made it happen! Artur shared beautiful stories of his culture, history of the island and of course took us to the most breathtaking views! We were in awe! Not only was the island fully of beauty and wonder but Artur was also a shining star with his humor and welcoming ! Truly made us feel like part of the Azorean Family! We can’t wait to visit again and book another tour !

Outstanding Tour Guide Experience ! - We had an incredible experience with Artur . From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable about the area and it's history. His story telling brought each location to life and he was more than happy to answer questions and tailor parts of the tour to our interests. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, informative, and well organized tour. Thank you for making our trip so unforgettable!

Best Day Excursion - Furnas/Ponta Delgada - We found Artur through Viator from other reviews. He is super responsive and can customize a day trip or longer excursion for your group. We had a 3 year old with 6 adults so we needed to do child friendly activities. Artur handled it all getting us booked to try thermal baths and pre-arranged a fabulous “cozido” lunch at Restaurante Banhos Ferreos! It was AMAZING! Thank you Artur! We will look at contacting you about your Air BnB. Best wishes, Kathryn

Excellent option with customized trip plans - We met Artur upon arrival in port and we decided to take a private, custom tour with Artur's help and suggestions. The tour was excellent and we had a lovely 4 1/2 hours being shown around this beautiful Island.

Enjoyed the island in the best way.... - Arthur was a very professional, passionate individual both my husband and I truly enjoyed a whole day. He accomodated the tour based on what we wanted to see, eat, drink, and experiment😀 We were so lucky to contact him. We got only one day before heading to Flores Island. In case we rented a car ourselves and wondered around the island, we decided to ask a professional guide to guide us. It is hard to do everything when you just came in as a foreigner. We would highly recommend him to anyone. He is so knowledgeable. I told him that he should also consider becoming a college professor😀

Best Tour Guide In Sao Miguel- 9 Day Trip Wouldn't Have Been The Same Without ARTUR!! - Artur single handedly made our trip in Sao Miguel memorable. He was so down to earth, great at explaining all types of scenarios (history, geography, culture, food, etc) from all different perspectives. He was able to look at his own country through many different lenses and provide a more well rounded experience than we ever could have hoped for. He was punctual, flexible, always accommodating, funny and kind on top of it. He took guiding us to a whole new level, finding ways to relate to everybody (7 in the tour group) on our trip. At the end of our 9 day journey, Artur told us we always had family in Sao Miguel now, and we really feel like it! Couldn't imagine going on this adventure with a different guide! Ps he knows all the best photo spots!
