Leandro, the super Faial guide!

Published on Nov, 2024

Leandro, our tour guide, did a fabulous job of sharing the high points on Faial Island, beginning with the chapel above Horta. Leandro provided a comfortable level of conversation, explanation and local knowledge as we traveled in the comfort of a large van. His knowledge of local lore, history, and landscape were amazing! We loved the northern end of the island with the ā€œnewā€ mountain created in 1957ā€“ my birth year. Never thot I would stand at the feet of mountains the same age as me! Would highly recommend this half day tour and Leandro as a tour guide. He was a conscientious driver as well- the narrow roads can be terrifying but he was confident and capable

Beautiful views

Great views, our guide Leandro was very knowledgeable and friendly, and very good and careful driver for the curvy roads. It could be nice to have more time to walk a bit more but as it's only half a day tour, it's more about seeing beautiful views than walking!

We had a wonderful private tour with Jack who drove us all around the island. He gave us historical information and local lore. We stopped and watched the waves crashing into the lava rocks at Praia do Norte and at Capelo. Both places gave a sense of the power and majesty of the water.
