A beautiful Day trip on Faial Island - Ramiro is a very friendly and engaged guide and a perfect ambassador for Faial Island. He knows lots of details and history and loves to pass on his love of the Azores to his customers. He finds the best spots for photos. The time and food at lunch was wonderful. Thank you so very much for a wonderful day on Faial Island. I was flashed by its beauty. All my best wishes for lots of happy future customers to come ✨️🌟🌞

Day tour in Faial - A Very good moment with Ramiro who spend the day to make us feel invited in his island. More than the beautiful sights and the exceptional moment at Capelinhos, he made us have a better knowledge of life in Faial.

Would recommend! - We had a great day with Ramiro. He showed us all around Faial and knew everything about the island. He had great and positive energy and was relaxed and easy to talk to. In just one day we saw all the highlights of the island and also some of his favorite places.

Grateful day tour of Faial Island with Ramiro. - We had a great full day tour of Faial Island with Ramiro. Our group consisted of two senior adult couples. Ramiro was enthusiastic and informative. He brought us to all the highlights of the island and explain them in detail. We enjoyed the lunch and Ramiro made sure that we had some vegetarian options available. The van used for transporting us was very comfortable. He even gave us tips on what to see when we returned to Pico Island. We highly recommend this full day tour of Faial Island with Ramiro.

Rainy day in Faial - Despite the inclement weather and rain/fog, the trip around the island of Faial was amazing. Ramiro the guide was very informative and answered all of our questions. The choice of restaurants was great. We may have not actually seen the caldera, Ramiro made the trip memorable.

Excellent and exciting day tour in paradise - We booked the tour at the last minute and never got disappointed. Our tour guide, Ramiiro, was knowledgeable, fun, and positive. He showed us the island, told the stories and fun facts, etc. Also, he helped us find and book a tour to Sao Jorge (our original booking was canceled due to ferry strike), brought us to the ferry terminal to buy tickets, was on the phone to answer any questions, etc. He made our day in paradise very memorable! Thank so much, Ramiro.
