Reuben was a super guide. He gave us a good history of Faial. The place we stopped were quite beautiful. We especially enjoyed the area with volcanic ash, rocks and the old lighthouse.

Leandro, our tour guide, did a fabulous job of sharing the high points on Faial Island, beginning with the chapel above Horta. Leandro provided a comfortable level of conversation, explanation and local knowledge as we traveled in the comfort of a large van. His knowledge of local lore, history, and landscape were amazing! We loved the northern end of the island with the “new” mountain created in 1957– my birth year. Never thot I would stand at the feet of mountains the same age as me!
Would highly recommend this half day tour and Leandro as a tour guide.
He was a conscientious driver as well- the narrow roads can be terrifying but he was confident and capable

Guida molto attenta, cordiale e disponibile. Mia nipote si era fatta male alla gamba e lui molto gentile ci ha accompagnato all'ospedale e ci ha aiutato a fare tutti i tramiti
