I have lived and travelled for many years of my life to over 50 countries but I call Ponta Delgada my home and have an immense affection for this place. I like to spend my time in the sea, having trained as a scuba diving instructor and made underwater video, but am happy here to free dive locally every day. I'm eager to share my perspective on what I consider to be, one of the closest experiences to paradise that I've ever encountered being here in The Azores.
I also believe that we're here to connect with others, so I like to meet other people who believe the same.
Fab little walking tour with Dom. just the right level of information, local, history and recommendations. Nice steady pace which enabled us to get our bearings in PDG very quickly. Highly recommend.
Dominic was fabulous. He iis very knowledgeable about Ponta Delgada and the Sao Miguel, and provided a wealth on information on our tour. I especially liked how he sometimes shared that there is more than one "story" regarding a place or date (i.e. the official story is XYZ, but locals say it is ABC). And that he continues to research and gather more information about that topic. Dominic spoke clearly, and was easy to understand. The length, route and pace of our tour felt about right. We took the tour on our last day on the island. Earlier in the week would have been much better and more helpful to me/us. I would highly recommend taking the tour on the 1st or 2nd day of your visit, if possible. I highly recommend Dominic :-)
Dominic is an energetic speaker who is easy to understand which ensures that you remained interested in his tour while waking through the heat of Ponta Dalgado. The English tours seem less popular here - the hike ended up being just me, my wife, and Dominic. Very enjoyable way to spend the morning.
