A perfect tour of Horta

Published on Jun, 2023

Andrea was an excellent tour guide for Horta! We saw more of the city as well as more beautiful and unique parts than if we’d explored on our own! He also has excellent recommendations for where to buy local Pico wine and where to get lunch! Well worth booking if you’re staying on Faial!
