We had a great time with Hugo! It was such a nice day and he brought us to places we never would have found. It was like visiting a friend! It is so nice and memorable to get a local knowledgeable perspective. Very nice places we saw together with a very nice host! Lunch was great, too! Thanks so much Hugo! It was a beautiful day together!

Joao DaCosta was absolutely amazing! He’s such a good photographer and tour guide. We asking specifically for our second tour to have him. Now for the best part… before we left Portugal we went shopping, and I found a perfume that I loved. When I was back in the United States, I tried to search for it, but you are unable to buy it in the United States. I asked him regarding if he knew anything other way to get it and HE LITERALLY BOUGHT ME A BOTTLE AND SHIPPED IT to the USA for me!!! Talk about customer service that doesn’t stop when you leave the country!!!!

A tour “hidden gems” feita pelo sr João foi simplesmente fantástica, os sítios que visitei não só eram de uma beleza indescritível como também tinham poucas pessoas permitindo que se conseguisse absorver tudo aquilo que se encontrava ao redor. O guia ia pontuando a viagem com descrição histórica da ilha, respondendo sempre a questões e curiosidades. Recomendo vivamente esta experiência, foi simplesmente incrível.
