My name is Rui and I am a Sao Miguel Island native. I love meeting people from other countries and making their visit to the Azores one they will never forget. My customers are not just clients to me - they are new friends, and as such they receive personalised service. I have many years of experience as a professional private driver, and you will find me an enthusiastic host with an excellent sense of humour. I consider myself a very lucky person for living on this beautiful island/archipelago. I own a Tourism Company and I am licensed by the Portuguese Tourism Board. I am authorized to make tours and transfers with my minivan and car.

Our tour to Sete Cidades was amazing! Our tour guide, Rui< was so welcoming, cheerful, and knowledgeable. He shared his passion for his homeland and made us fall in love with it as well. The countryside was just stunning! All 6 of us were so pleased with the entire experience. HIGHLY recommend Rui as your favorite tour guide!! We can't wait to return!

HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommended. Rui (Roy) took my family of 6 (all from New York) on a van tour of the Western side of Sao Miguel Island. It was an excellent tour and Rui is a superb tour guide. He uses a microphone so audibility is no issue whatsoever. Rui's English is excellent (despite what he may say) and he is extremely well-informed about all aspects of life on Sao Miguel. My family asked a wide array of questions and he answered each thoroughly and confidently. A very enjoyable experience indeed!
