    Melissa_B, Sep 2025
    We had a great time and saw a lot. Henrique was knowledgeable on the history and guide of places. Well worth the day to see so much and be able to see so many different beautiful sights.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Thank you so much for the great review. So nice you changed your plans of early dinner so everyone could see some more secrets from Santa Maria.

    Fabulous back roads tour

    Carol_P, Sep 2025
    All of the island highlights and as much as possible on beautiful back roads. The guide provided a lot of information about the parishes, the flora, the history, and the landmarks.

    Outstanding Santa Maria Island Tour with Henrique!

    James_R, Jun 2024
    Great day. Henrique is a great tour guide and driver. He took us to every main spot on the Island and covered a lot a back roads. He is very knowledgeable about the history, natural items (plants and rocks) and how the Island came to be. We had a very enjoyable picnic lunch he provided and a lot of good conversation and great information. Highly recommend. If 10/10 is a good recommendation, I would say he earned a 15/10. He loves what he does and is excellent at it.

    Best tour ever

    Mark_L, Sep 2023
    We had the most memorable tour with Henry as our driver on our tour of Santa Maria… he was fantastic!! He was so friendly, personable, extremely well educated in island culture; history ; architecture; farming; absolutely everything anything we asked about. He entertained us the whole time. He ended up being a great friend … we love him!!! Mark and Belinda Liddell Gary and Cidalia Allen ( the crazy friends) We look forward to tour with Henry again !!
