Great Tour - very insightful and informative - Very nice, experienced and friendly guide. History of the island, the wine culture and unique places were shown and described perfectly. The time with Filipe is very well spent and we would recommend it to anyone who visits Pico Island!

Great introduction to Pico! - Wonderful tour with Felipe! It included wine and liqueur tasting, but we also say a lot of other things on Pico. Felipe was an expert guide who answered all of our questions. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful wine tour and introduction to the heritage of wine making on Pico - Although our ferry from Faial arrived in Pico after the start time of our tour, Filipe and the rest of our tour group patiently waited for us. We set off on a truly wondrous trip along the north coast of Pico heading toward a brandy and liquor distillery. Along the way, Filipe stopped to show us new and abandoned vineyards, picturesque views, and told us all about the unique heritage of making wine and living on the quiet island of Pico. After the brandy distillery, Filipe took us to a delicious lunch, owned and operated by a local family in Madalena. Then we set off again to see some breath taking sights, and to experience more sights, smells and tastes of Pico before arriving at a winery just outside Madalena. To finish our day tour, Filipe took us to a beautiful village, barely touched by humans except for a 400 year old windmill. This windmill, sitting between the Atlantic ocean and the base of Mount Pico, seemed to guard the beautiful traditions of Pico life. Obrigado Filipe!!

Discover hidden gems of Pico - What a fantastic experience we had! If you are looking for a genuine experience of Pico, do not hesitate! Your guide Felipe shows you the gems of the island. You discover places, taste delicious food and hear stories you would never experience when you travel just by yourself. We did the tour with our 11 year old son who enjoyed it as much as we did! Value for money!

Informative and Fun - We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Philip. Our tour guide was knowledgeable about the biology and geology of the island. We loved the wine tour at Azores wine company. A gorgeous place with knowledgeable people. We would highly recommend this tour.

A great day in Pico - We had an excellent day! Despite the occasional rain, we saw many landmarks, learnt a lot about Pico, its wines and the way people live here. Our guide was very knowledgeable and open in sharing his own experience of the island. The restaurant selected for lunch had tasty food (highly ranked on several websites) and friendly service! We definitely recommend this tour for a local experience that will make you better understand the history, nature and people of this island.

Great day! - Fantastic tour! We so enjoyed spending the day with Filipe and learned a lot about Pico. Not only was Filipe very knowledgeable about wine and viticulture on Pico, but we also learned a lot about local plants and saw a lot of things we would not have seen exploring on our own. Getting ferry tickets from Horta where we were staying was easy and he met us at the ferry terminal. Have already recommended this tour to several friends!

Nice tour, a bit too long - The tour from Felippe was nice, he showed us the vineyards and some nice local spots on the island we would have never visited otherwise. He knew a lot a out the island and everything on it. We even stopped at his mothers place to try real homemade Azorean liqour! However, the tour was a bit long for our taste and there were a few stops that felt a bit unnecessary.
