I have lived and travelled for many years of my life to over 50 countries but I call Ponta Delgada my home and have an immense affection for this place. I like to spend my time in the sea, having trained as a scuba diving instructor and made underwater video, but am happy here to free dive locally every day. I'm eager to share my perspective on what I consider to be, one of the closest experiences to paradise that I've ever encountered being here in The Azores. I also believe that we're here to connect with others, so I like to meet other people who believe the same.

Tour description

Join me on a tour of Ponta Delgada that aims to give a taste of the local history, important places of interest, tales of battles as well as the ups and downs of somewhere that, due to its temperate climate, was turned from a volcanic outcrop into a subtropical paradise. 
Places to eat, places to drink, gardens, churches, forts, book here and let's experience Ponta Delgada together. 
You only need to book one person, bring as many other people as you wish.
