What a great day!! In spite of some foggy weather- Andreas (our fabulous tour guide) made the day!! Informed and well spoken (multiple languages), Andreas altered the itinerary to make sure we had ample opportunity to see everything on the plan. In spite of uncooperative fog (we weren’t able to see Caldeira do Faial), we toured the whole island and really enjoyed all the other stops - including a stop at Andreas’ banana plantation. Andreas reached out to us shortly after we booked (several months in advance) to ensure that he checked on any restrictions (my husband has a lactose intolerance). He checked in about a week ahead of the tour to clearly arrange for the pick up and was very prompt (early ????). He prepared a wonderful lunch that we had in the park and was a phenomenal host. We highly recommend this tour. We knew going into this time of year that the weather can be raining or foggy so couldn’t have been happier with the end result.

We did a full day tour of Faial and Pico with Andreas. The tours and Andreas were wonderful. Andreas is a wealth of information on the history, geography, and economy of the islands. Since he lives in Faial we learned a lot about life on the islands. For each tour Andreas prepared a delicious picnic meal with a variety of beverages and deserts. We never felt hurried through the tour and he was willing and knowledgeable to answer any questions we had. We highly recommend him.
