Olá! My name is Ricardo, I was born in Lisbon, but raised in Ponta Delgada - the main city of São Miguel island where I continue to live and work as a private tour guide.

I asked for the drive and 2 60 minute massages, and Ricardo quoted $483, which seemed reasonable ($305 for the massages and $178 for the drive). Ricardo did not show up as scheduled, no response from the message via tours from locals. Sent a text and he responded, "Almost there". 20 minutes later, not there, texted we would wait inside where there were seats. A little...

The initial delay was due to traffic complications and was explained to Candance and I apologized politely. You must realize that we've been a long time behind a slow bus that made me arrive 8 minutes late to the massage site and not 30 minutes like you said and that nothing made you waste time in massage. The costs were your confusion and everything is explained in the...

Our tour of Sete Cidades and other areas of Sao Miguel Island was, unquestionably, a highlight of our cruise to Portugal and Spain. The natural beauty of the island is absolutely stunning and is a definite DON'T MISS. Our tour guide, Ricardo, was the BEST!!! He was knowledgeable, personable, and considerate. My wife and I are looking forward to a return visit to Sao...

Thank you Paula and David. Just saw the review. We had the first barbeque of the year with friends from Martim and their parents at hour house. See you on the next visit to the island

Ricardo was a fantastic guide and driver. Since he has lived almost his entire life on the island, he not only knows the ancient history, but also gave personal stories of growing up and the changes he’s seen. He had all the delicious local stops for tasty treats. I would highly recommend Ricardo! Next time we are visit, we’ll hire him again without a doubt.

Friendly, knowledgeable, very good driver on narrow, windy mountain roads. He gave us choices due to changing weather conditions and created a very pleasant and informative itinerary. The wheelchair-bound family member was accommodated very easily and respectfully. He read us well, matching his discussions with our interest and energy levels. Even a last minute request to...
