Summary:
Fantastic personalized tour to introduce us to Pico. Filipe was the perfect guide, taking us through the vineyards, to the natural pools along the coast, to a fantastic lunch of Pico’s finest including cheeses, breads, lapas (in season), octopus, tuna and beef, and of course the wine tasting! Filipe was extremely knowledgeable of the geography, history and flora and was flexible and accommodating to our needs (after a crazy flight in!) Highly recommend!
