Superb experience, many thanks to Rubin, our extremely knowledgeable, friendly and multi lingual guide explaining safety, our route, the travel to and from our climb, island history; information regarding flora and fauna. Pick up from and return to our hotel was on time and perfect, a clean comfortable mini bus. We chose an option for a tuna salad for lunch, this was extremely tasty, an excellent portion size with water, juice, pastel de nata and chocolate.

I have organised this tour (Pico Areeiro to Pico Ruivo than down to Achada do Texeira) in advance from Switzerland, my contact was André who's informations were always up to date. The tour was rescheduled several times due to bad weather, I was always informed in a timely fashion. Just one day before it was finally to take place, a landslide caused the closure of the Areeiro to Ruivo path. I was promptly offered an alternative of Ach.do Teixeira to Pico Ruivo and back to which a I agreed. I was picked up next morning by Fabio, the mountain guide and Claudio, the driver. Both turned out to be great guys who went out of their way to accommodate my every wish, stopping often in the middle of the road to let me make the pictures. Fabio was a source of endless information about the Island, its history, people, geology, flora and fauna, he was simply fascinating to listen to! The hike up the mountain went without a hitch, Claudio,the driver accompanied us. Both of them adapted their pace to mine and were helpful in every possible way, especially on the way back when I was getting tired. We waited on the top for as long as wanted for the clouds to dissipate which unfortunately happened only to a small degree. In spite of that, it was a glorious day for me in the company of two very competent and friendly guys who I can recommend unreservedly.
