We, a bunch of Finns took a trip in Gary's trusty Mercedes back in June and it took me half a year to write this review. No one else to blame than myself I guess. Finally I felt the urge to write this and highly recommend Gary's services for anyone seeking a travel guide beyond your expectations. He certainly knows... More

Gary did a wonderful job. We arrived in Ponta Delgada to find rain and fog throughout the port. After picking us up he took us to the north side of the island and we were able to get amazing pictures of the island. We continued on to the Tea Plantation where he gave us a personalized tour of the plantation,... More

We trusted the review's that Gary had been given by other TripAdvisor customers...and we were more than satisfied with the results! Gary was amazing and exceptionally gracious with his knowledge and abilities of bringing the island of San Miguel to our doorstep. We were picked up in a clean spacious Mercedes van and had three full day tours with Gary,... More

We were 2 of 12 people, all passengers on the cruise ship MSC Poesia who took a tour with Gary & his father Joe. Initially, when Gary met us immediately off the boat, I was a little concerned when he said to cross the road and to get into a taxi being driven by his father, Joe. However, within minutes... More

We (my wife and I) holidayed in Sao Miguel the last week in September having pre-booked Tour 1 with Gary for the Tuesday and Tour 2 for the Thursday. Unfortunately for us this coincided with some wet and very cloudy weather that threatened to ruin both days. However, we clearly hadn't factored in Gary's excellent organisational skills as well as... More

I will start off saying that unfortunately my sister and I did not pick a day that provided great weather (lots of rain and fog), and we were only in Sao Miguel for 2.5 days so Gary was given some challenges and limitations based on our circumstances. However, I feel like he delivered the best tour possible within those limitations... More

We (two couples) spent six days in Sao Miguel and toured the island with Gary on three of those days. The weather was good, but not perfect, and Gary rearranged the tours so we were able to see the sights that required good weather on the days the weather was best. My friend was born in Sao Miguel and she... More
