Description

Discover Horta on a walk led by a local Azorean guide. Learn about the city's history, its connection to the sea and nature, and explore its most authentic corners.
Come and discover the city of Horta on a leisurely tour guided by a local. Along this walk, you'll learn about the city's history, its connections to the sea and immigration, and the importance that Horta has always had as a crossing point of the Atlantic.

We'll start in the historic center, where I'll share with you interesting facts about Azorean culture, daily life on the island of Faial, and significant events from the past. We'll stroll through streets full of identity, viewpoints, gardens, and iconic places that often go unnoticed.

Along the way, I'll tell you about local traditions, the cuisine, the special relationship of the Faial people with the sea and volcanoes, and how nature has shaped life on the island. This tour is done at the group's pace, with time for photos, questions, and little stories that only a local guide can tell you.

In the end, you'll have a deeper view of Horta and Faial—not just as a tourist destination, but as a living place with character, memories, and an Azorean soul. It's the perfect experience to kick off your visit to the island.
