Good way to see a variety of sights - Overall this was a great way to see many of the key sights of the island, and Gabriel, our guide, was very friendly, easygoing, and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the day and were glad we did this tour give how limited time we had on the island. The group also was very lively and got along well despite having different first languages. A watchout that others also called out: if the trip is full, it's a very cozy ride in the car without AC. I could see why some reviewers found it less than comfortable. Luckily, it worked out for our group space-wise and comfort-wise. We also didn't read the details closely enough (our fault) and thought we were doing both Gruta das Torres and Casa dos vulcões. One recommendation for Terralta: our group went to Casa dos vulcoes, and I personally would have enjoyed Gruta das Torres more as it seems more unique to the island and adventurous. Not sure how your other travelers feel, but Casa dos vulcoes with the 10-min video and "earthquake simulator" felt anti-climatic—though we did learn a lot and I'm sure some folks enjoy it. Thanks for a great day!

The perfect mix to discover nature and heritage of Pico - Visit the island of Pico in “private” mode because we were the only guests. Beautiful landscapes and very varied between vineyards, mountains and ocean. Gabriel our Guide is very considerate and adapts to our desires. You can even swim in the natural pools during the day to cool off... top. And the icing on the cake: making the trip in a Land Rover that could very well do for a safari in Africa, it gives an even more exotic and fun side. Thanks, Gabriel.

Amazing tour of pico island - Felipe was an amazing guide! We toured the west side of Pico and saw the rugged landscapes and well maintained houses on the island. We had wine tasting and sampled home made brandies and infusions. The lava tubes were very interesting and definitely something to see! He was able to answer all our questions and took us to scenic locations off the beaten path. Highly recommended!!

Highly Recommended! - We enjoyed our time spent with tour guide/owner Felipe. His expert knowledge of Pico island, UNESCO vineyards, and local wines was very much appreciated. Lunch was included at a wonderful, local restaurant. The Gruta das Torres -(Lava Tube) tour was fascinating as well. Truly spectacular day!

The best tour guide in Pico - Wonderful experience with Philippe! First we had the evening food and winery tour with Philippe. Great food and great company. Then the next day we did the volcano tour and then the lava flows. The next day we then did a tour of the island. We recommend this as he was such a great guide!

Worst 4x4 drive at Pico - Actually, we decided to cancel because we didn’t like the organization of the tour We have expected that it would be a nice 4x4 car with AC and a good guide that would do the tour in English On the contrary we received quite old Land Cruiser that has no AC and has quite hard seats The guide has spoken Portuguese with the whole group, and was speaking to us in English only when we asked him questions (not proactively) So we have paid 200 euros just for non comfortable car with the driver that showed us 2 lakes and 2 viewpoints, and when we visited the natural pool, we didn’t even swim there (just looked at the other people how they swam😂) Quite disappointing experience if you look from this perspective Far more better to visit Azores wine company and do the wine tasting there
