Ma family of 4 (2 parents and 2 young adults) visited the Azores on a 2-week trip that involved 5 islands (Terceira, Pico, Faial, Sao Jorge, and San Miguel), and on each island we took at least one private tour. The short version is that our tour with Gui was the VERY best tour we took on any of the islands! From the very first contact to right before our trip, he was very detailed and responsive and helpful. He planned our day for exactly what we wanted to do, was really flexible and friendly, had lots of great info about the island's history and culture, and most of all, was just a ton of fun to be around. It turns out that Austin, Texas (where we are from) is number one on his bucket list to visit, and he actually knew more about our city (even though we've lived here for over 30 years!) than we did! We had so much fun talking about all of the different kinds of foods we all like (he makes BBQ as a side hustle and his instagram page is amazing). Bottom line: Gui's English is impeccable, he is very smart and easy to talk to, and he know so much about the US and pop culture in addition to so much about his home island. He is sure to entertain your teens as well. Definitely reserve him early because he'll get booked up and you'll miss out. Gui is the BESt tour guide in the Azores, hands down!
