Pedro ferreira was awesome!!
He was always professional, friendly, puntual, very helpful and very knowlegable about the culture, island and the right places to visit he became a great friend after our 2 week vacation.
We could trust him with whatever we needed
He helped make our stay very enjoyable
We would highly reccomend pedro
Thank you again and look forward to seeing you again!
If you are looking to tour the island of sao miguel in the azores, i highly recommend pedro´s services. My girlfriend and i toured parts of sao miguel (sete cidades, mosteiros, bretanha, capelas, ribeira grande and lagoa do fogo, a pineapple planctation, among others) in pedro´s company in mid august 2011.
Pedro is a professional, punctual and courteous driver. Pedro´s father and grandfather were both in the taxi trade; therefore, this is a continuation of a family tradition. Pedro is fully fluent in english and speaks some french. He took the time to visit some of the most beautiful parts of sao miguel.
We both enjoyed pedro´s driving style and his sense of humour, and most of all, his passion and knowledge of the green island, sao miguel.
Thank you pedro,
