OFFBEAT Portugal booked this company for us, and we are really glad they did. We were staying in Fazenda, about 30 minutes from Santa Cruz and they came and picked us up every day. So, convenient. Claudia, for a great day all over the island. She takes great pride in her knowledge of everything Flores. It was also a stellar weather day. So many great pictures! She is a great guide! Luis, for a nice morning of hiking, Unfortunately, we only got thru about halfway. The rain came in pretty hard. So, we didn't quite complete the whole intended hike. He was extremely helpful with my wife on the steep, wet and slippery parts of the hike. Oh well you can't control the weather. Fortunately, Decius was in the van and found us in Fajazinha. We really enjoyed Luis's company. Francisco, on the boat, and the van, and then, full hiking guide on the day trip to Corvo. Again, very helpful with my wife on the steep, wet, hiking parts. So much knowledge of these islands. You can really appreciate all these experiences, when you have a person telling you about the history of the people, geology, and all the flora. You come away with a feeling, that you did all the tours right. And Decius, always ready in the van for transportation. So, did we like this company?? Positively the best! Thanks for showing us Flores and Corvo.

Claudia was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable about the island history vegetation and the folklore of the island. She is also very funny and easy to chat with. This was a great way for us to see the island since we did not have a car. In fact it was the only way we could have seen the island. I do highly recommend the tour since then you don't have to worry about navigating on narrow cliff roads and can enjoy all the sites. We thoroughly enjoyed Claudia's lunch recommendation for some authentic island food as well as all the sites and information she shared with us throughout the day. thank you for a wonderful time on Flores, Claudia. It was one of the highlights of our trip to the Azores

EVERYTHING about our 4+ days of private tours with EXPERIENCE OC in Flores was PERFECT!! From contacting the owner Armando months before our trip to Flores, to the last minute of our last tour day, it was better than we could have ever imagined. Our guides (Claudia, Francisco, Alvaro, Luis, and Armando) were on time, knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and tailored our tour days to what we wanted to do and see. They are all passionate about Flores (and Corvo) and take great pride that they have the privilege to share their experiences with us. They even helped us find and meet distant cousins. We give our HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION possible to hiring Experience OC if you plan to visit Flores and Corvo. Special thanks to Francisco who went above and beyond to make our 2 days with him especially memorable.
