Description

Over six years ago I started to explore the history of this island, and was amazed at how the people here overcame what can only be called a major biblical event, with a little bit of faith, to build what has been described as the Hawaii of Europe.

This island was also one of the important stop-offs during the age of discovery, then it was the Atlantic hub of the Jesuit religious empire, so there's a lot to see in the time that we spend together looking at this gorgeous neat city that has seen so much history.

I look forward to spending some time with you.

Undampened enthusiasm

Dominic was a friendly, amusing, and engaging guide who shared his vast knowledge of Ponta Delgada with great enthusiasm undampened by increasingly heavy rain. He was considerate and unhurried and adapted his tour to the circumstances. Highly recommended.

A great tour

Thanks Dominic for a great tour. Very knowledgeable, lots of info. Especially liked the reference to the house JP Morgan stayed at since I had noticed this house when I walked by

Learned so much!

Dominic was very informative, enthusiastic with his information and showed us so many sights and hidden gems. We covered a lot of ground and learned a lot and he pointed out many local places to eat at. Plus, he pointed out many other sights/museums to see on our own time, ie public library with cafe, a rooftop view from a building (free) in the ?city hall building, and a few other spots of interest that we went to the next day due to a rainy day. It was great and entertaining!
