I highly recommend the half day tour with Andreas.for his depth of knowledge, engaging delivery and flexibility. I greeted him with a request that I needed to have breakfast before starting the tour so we began the tour in my hotel dining room. I so much appreciated that and began learning about Horta Book this and Faial at breakfast. The rest of the tour was a delight.visiting places I would want to return to later.like Porto Pim bay.Do yourself a favor and book this tour!

Andrea was an excellent tour guide for Horta! We saw more of the city as well as more beautiful and unique parts than if we’d explored on our own! He also has excellent recommendations for where to buy local Pico wine and where to get lunch! Well worth booking if you’re staying on Faial!
