“Terrific. More than I bargained for. Fickys English is adequate but where he really shines is logistics and being able to coordinate authentic experiences/ interactions. The day included green onion picking/ tea plantation walk/ hot springs/ mud / basket ride/ suspension bridge/ go cart/ local dinner AND a street vendor dessert stop. We finally rolled home close to 9pm. The local meal was truly terrific experience. Never in the day did I feel like we were following hordes of tourists. Recommend to bring sanitizing wipes as all the bathrooms don’t have sinks or soap.”

We ended up having an amazing day touring Sao Miguel Island. The pictures do not do justice…”
