Mario our guide was as good as it gets. He is literally a professional at tour guide duties and had an immense knowledge of the island and all it offers, including a pride for the local culture. It really the best tour I’ve ever had anywhere, including compared to other tours we had in Portugal!

Very good, you can see a lot of pretty beautiful things around the island with information from the guide (Mario). I would recommend to do the West and the East Tour at 2 Days. But if you don’t have too much time, do this activity! :) you wont regret it!

I had the most amazing experience with Mario while on tour. He is such a credit to the island and to the people that have the privilege to have him as a guide. Thank you Mario for all you shared with us and for making our tour such special. Denise&Joana.
