What people are saying about Ribeira Grande

There were only two of us on our tour. Our guide, Davante, was fabulous. He was so knowledgeable about the geological forming of the island, vegetation, history of the Azores. We appreciated his good natured and friendly personality. He provided us with great food and pub suggestions at the end.

What a good day we have spent with RUI!! He is an excellent guide, he has taken us to see a lot of places adapting the plan to the weather at all times and to what we wanted. It's nice to be with people like that! You can tell he loves his job and knows a lot. I recommend it 100%.

Awesome tour with Artur as our guide. He was very informative and the off-roading portion was a lot of fun. The weather wasn't being nice in the morning so the photos didn't come out very nice but that didn't take away from the overall tour. Great time!!

Foi uma experiência muito enriquecedora. O guia Filipe foi muito simpático e prestável. Deu para conhecer sítios muito bonitos e pode-se saber mais sobre a ilha. Recomendo!

Our tour was fantastic! Ricardo made it fun, interesting and educational! Loved his passion for his island! He went above and beyond to make it a great day!
