The guide can show you the unique and interesting side of Faial.

Born in Switzerland, after having spent more than 20 years of my life in business in various European countries I moved with my wife and our daughter in 2019 from Budapest to Faial. Why Faial, not only because of its beauty and remoteness, but also because of the charm of the people, its society and history. It was a big decision to do so, but never since we had a minute of regret.

Besides guiding visitors, we are having an organic banana farm in Feteira, are working on the reconstruction of our house into a small bed&breakfast and enjoy becoming more and more Faialense.

Living in Faial, but coming from outside, means that I can not only show you our beautiful island, but I also know from personal experience what are the differences which are interesting for a visitor. Check out our tours, I am sure that we have something for you. If you are not sure, please drop a line and I will help.

Your are our guest, most important to us is your satisfaction and personal well-being during our tours. If you have any special need, area of interest or any request, please let us know before, but also during the tour, so that we can ensure your full satisfaction

Well-being means for us also that we make sure that you do not have to spend your day on an empty stomach. We exclusively include in our tours a rich picnic for our guests. Whenever possible we use local products and ingredients for our picnic basket.

Throughout the trip you have snacks and drinks available at your discretion. For lunchtime we will stop at one of the many recreational parks, lay out a plaid and enjoy the picnic. For those who like it, accompanied by a glass of wine from Pico. We have of course also vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options, if you have any allergy, let us know.

The composition of the basket is seasonal, but typically includes the following:
