Mysteries and Legends of the Azores Tour
User rating

What if the Azores were a key piece of a puzzle that revealed the secrets of all of Portugal?

Are you ready to embark on a journey filled with enigmas, stories of love and betrayal, and ancient secrets?

We begin at the Padre Sena Freitas Garden , the first step on this map of hidden keys.
We will explore the heart of Ponta Delgada , deciphering secret messages on facades, streets and monuments.

  • Did the Templars have anything to do with the discovery of the Azores?
  • Did witches exist in these lands?
  • Do pirate treasures still lie hidden in forgotten caves?

We will decipher the hidden symbols of the Mother Church of São Sebastião , and the Rúa dos Mercadores will envelop us with tales of apparitions and legends that still live on in the collective memory of the Açorians.
We will stop in front of the Church of São Pedro to delve into the enigmatic history of the Mary Celeste , the most famous ghost ship in the Atlantic.

The tour culminates at the Ponta Delgada Marina, facing the ocean, where we will address the great unsolved mysteries:
What if the pyramids of Pico and the mythical Atlantis were part of the same hidden map?
What if the Holy Grail , far from continental Europe, rested on these islands?

It's not just a tour. It's an initiation journey.
A puzzle that, when completed, may give you a completely different view of Portugal's history.

Sete Cidades and Pineapple Plantation Half Day Private Tour
User rating
Visiting a place it's more than exploring and taking pictures. It's also about understanding what makes that place special and unique, it's culture, it's people. I've lost count of how many people I've encountered that regretted renting a car and exploring on their own (all the stress involved and the nature of the island twisty narrow roads contribute to that), or others that at the tea or pineapple plantations ask me to give some explanation about what they are seeing when they are not my clients and realize what they are missing. On a private tour, tailored to your needs and interests, you can let an experienced tour guide drive you around in a safe and relaxed environment, learn about the places you visit and, in some way, become a local too. You won't have to divide the guide's attention with others, it's a private tour! You'll learn the local culture, economy, habits while being driven by not only a local experienced guide… But a friend!
