5.00A great day despite all the museums (including the volcanoe house) being closed as it was a Monday. However we saw some amazing scenery and visited the whale factory that is a museum now and open!

5.00This is the best tour to truly experience Pico Island! You’ll get to see places that most visitors never reach, including incredible up-close views of the caldeiras and stunning landscapes all around. Filip is an outstanding guide — so knowledgeable about the island’s history, culture, and especially its unique plants. 🌿 His passion really brings Pico to life! Lunch was an amazing experience and such a special part of the day — delicious local food and wine, perfectly planned. 🍷🍽️ Everything ran smoothly from start to finish — we met right at the pier where the ferry arrives, and Filip was there waiting for us promptly. Highly recommend this tour if you want an authentic, unforgettable Pico adventure!

4.00It was a generally good experiance where we learned a lot about Pico island and the rest of the islands. I wish we had a dip in the natrural pools as part of the experiance.
Exceptional!

5.00With my husband and our two teenagers, we stayed 3 days on the island. Given this limited time, we opted for a day in jeep with local guides. Well, we were not disappointed! Even though the cave/lava tunnel and the Pico plateau could not be visited (the former due to security reasons and the latter due to capricious weather), our two guides showed us corners/nuggets of the island that are not stormed by tourists. We went through the Unesco-listed vineyards, walked through a Japanese cedar forest, observed beautiful panoramas and learned a lot about the cultivation of Pico, its natural drinking water harvesting system even though there are no springs.... Our guides bent over backwards for us, answering all our questions. Lunch in a typical restaurant was also buffet-style and the Welcoming was charming. In short, I highly recommend this activity!
The right guide for the trip.

5.00Our guide was Gabriel. He was fantastic. He did a great job of explaining everything from Island history to the food and drink of the island. I really recommend him. I would hire him as a guide again.
Excellent guide, good program

5.00Philip was friendly and informative! He spoke English well and selected activities and locations to keep the whole family interested and engaged. Lunch was delicious and pickup and drop off at the ferry was convenient. We shared our tour with a lovely couple from New York/Lisbon and thoroughly enjoyed the day!
