Ramiro was a wonderful host and guide. He shared history, facts and his clear love for this beautiful island. He has a route in mind, but will customize the tour if there are specific places you want to see. We learned a lot about the islands, especially Capelinhos. Unfortunately, the weather was very cloudy the day of our tour so we skipped the Caldeira due to low visibility. We got to see beautiful beaches and had a great time.
He also provided recommendations for other things do to on the island during our visit and restaurants to try.
Thank you, Ramiro!

Wow! What an absolutely brilliant tour we had around Faial with Ramiro. He was an excellent guide- very informative and friendly. He was happy to answer our questions and was very generous- allowing for photo opportunities when we spotted them. Faial was a wonderful island to visit. We only had a day here but wish it was longer. Visiting the Caldeira and Capelinhos were a must. Can’t recommend this tour enough!
