5.00My husband and I had two full-day private driving and walking tours with Filipe. Filipe was a wonderful guide -- very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, considerate, flexible, and a delight to spend time with. He gave excellent recommendations and planned tours especially for us and our interests.
Drove to a Caldera, Waterfalls, and Great Lunch!

5.00We took a day trip with Felipe out to the eastern half of San Miguel Island, and it was wonderful. We explored the caldera, the coast, a couple of towns, lots of waterfalls, and a remote logging road! He was very adaptable given the weather, and we enjoyed the whole day. Would tour with him again, and highly recommend the experience.
Sao Miguel the gift of connection- to nature, to people and to peace.

5.00The most memorable part of Sao Miguel experience is breathtaking natural encounters, twin lakes of Sete Cidades, Furnas Hot Springs & Geothermal cooking, Tea plantations at Gorreana. The most memorable part of our 2days guide tour was our guide, Filipe Cordeiro. The deep knowlege of Sao Miguel’s history,culture, and natural wonders was matchen only by his warmth and enthusiasm. What truly stood out was the personal touch. Highly recommend Azores by Local to anyone visiting Sao Miguel.

5.00Our tour with Filipe was amazing! He showed us parts of the island that we would never have seen. He was so knowledgeable about the areas and gave us fun stories about each area! We would definitely book another tour with him next time we come to Sao Miguel!

5.00Filipe met us at the pier as planned. Had a great time seeing the top of the volcano and the beautiful scenery around it. Got into some smaller villages with a short stop for lunch. Filipe told us lots about the area and is very knowledgeable and proud of his home and country. Highly recommend his services. Thank you from Canada.
Great private tours on a wonderful island

5.00We had 2 amazing tours with Filipe from Azore by Locals. He is a very nice person, and a very good guide. He gave us useful information on the island. And he took us to the places we couldn't reach with our rented car. I totally recommend him as a guide (great knowledge on the island and history, great conversation, great driving skills). He adapts the tour for us, so we feel comfortable and got to see all we wanted. Thank you, Filipe.
Unforgettable, personalized Jeep tour with Filipe—amazing local insights, hidden backroads, and exceptional service

5.00We had an unforgettable full-day Jeep tour to Nordeste with Filipe – truly one of the highlights of our trip! From start to finish, Filipe provided exceptional service and made us feel completely at ease. His deep local knowledge brought the region to life in a way we never could have experienced on our own. What really set this tour apart was how personalized it was. Filipe took the time to understand our interests and tailored the day to suit us perfectly. He led us through scenic backroads and hidden gems that we never would have found (or accessed) with our rental car. Each stop felt thoughtfully chosen, and we were never rushed — just free to enjoy the stunning landscapes, learn about the area, and soak in the beauty of Nordeste. Filipe’s passion for the Azores is contagious, and his easygoing, friendly manner made the entire experience feel like a day out with a knowledgeable friend. We can’t recommend this tour highly enough — if you're visiting São Miguel, make sure you book with Filipe. You won’t regret it!
