During our recent stay in Sao Miguel, we had the opportunity to spend a full day with Rui who took us on a customized tour of the places that were of most interest to us. We first met when he drove us from Ferraria to Ponta Delgada and he took the time to discuss our interests and ideas so we... More

I agree with all the other reviews (knowledgeable, friendly, good English, great driver...), and have a few extras to add. Rui is honest, sincere and dependable. A few months ahead of our cruise, I booked him for a 5 hour tour. I found out from other (disappointed) passengers that he had other offers for that day, and they may have... More

My friends and I were on Celebrity Eclipse, stopping in the Azores for nine hours. We wanted a personalised tour as the word “coach” breaks me out into a rash. I researched the web (and TripAdvisor) to find the glowing recommendations for Rui Medeiros. I emailed him and he got right back in touch with tour suggestions and a very... More

There were six of us in our group who had an unscheduled visit to Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel as our cruise ship was unable to keep to its itinerary in March 2012. Well, as it turned out, it was indeed the best thing that could have happened to us. As we were passing through the cruise terminal, Rui was waiting... More

Having done our research we decided Sao Miguel was going to be the most interesting island on the trip and this was a very self-indulgent treat as we hired Rui for the day just for... More

Tis is the guy you should go with!!! Extremely good service! More

I recently returned from a trip to Sao Miguel island in the Azores. I had heard a lot about the natural beauty of the island and the hospitality of the locals. Both exceeded my expectations. But what made the trip exceptionally memorable was our local taxi tour guide, Rui Medeiros (www.vivazores.com). Rui met us at the airport in a sparkling... More

You will love Rui. He speaks perfect English, so if you don't know a word of Portuguese, don't worry. We had the opportunity to visit San Miguel on a cruise ship stop. This was our last stop before 6 days at sea to get to Fort Lauderdale. It was nice to end our land travels on such a high note.... More

We have just returned from a wonderful trip to the Azores. We were four of us, I am with my sister and our children aged 11 and 14 years old. This was our first time at Azores, and I hope that it is not the last one. We visited three islands - São Miguel, Terceira, Graciosa, each of them is... More
