The trip and the tour guide were magnificent, ant the place is incredibly beautiful! I recommend to visit!

Von uns bekommt Pico Transfers fünf Sterne. Wir hatten eine unvergessliche Wanderung. Es war alles perfekt organisiert. Unser Fahrer Ulisses war pünktlich und ist sehr gut gefahren, wir haben uns gut aufgehoben gefühlt. 👍 Die Kommunikation mit Elisabeth war einwandfrei. Am Vorabend haben wir eine WhatsApp mit allen erforderlichen Informationen erhalten. Eine klare Weiterempfehlung von uns.

We booked the transfers for the Pico Arriero walk with Pico Transfers. Communication after booking was excellent and we were informed well in advance of what we would need to bring. This was reiterated the day before along with timings and a weather forecast. Could not fault the communication. On the day, Diogo was our driver. We had his name and registration beforehand which is great for safety, especially if you are a solo traveller like some in our group were. Diogo arrived promptly and was friendly and informative. We picked up the other people in our minibus from their accommodations and we were on our way. We had been sent a map prior to the walk so Diogo referenced this when explaining what we needed to do. He also shared additional facts about the island and was very knowledgeable. Myself and my husband enjoyed doing the walk independent of a guide so the transfer only option was ideal. The walk was stunning and so well signposted. It was safe as there were lots of people walking it so should help have been needed, it would have been easy to alert someone. After the walk, Diogo was again waiting promptly for our group where instructed. Highly recommend using this company. Reliable, professional and experts in what they do!! We had a hassle free day and a fantastic experience all round!!

Everything on time, with careful driving and friendly service from Diogo. Thanks!

Amazing service. Easy to order, they pick you up at the hotel and you get all the information you need for your hike. We highly recommend Pico Transfers. 👍🏼☺️

Fantastic service. Highly recommended. Thanks for a great day. We will be back

Used this company today for the hike, was so great to be picked up and dropped off at the front door of our accommodation. The guy was very informative and gives you plenty of time to get the hike done. He is also great for recommendations and is extremely friendly.

Comfortable transfer, excellent service and on time. Recommend!

Great experience with Pico Transfers today, what a fab bunch. Excellent communication about the pick up and collection time snd lots of very detailed information sent about exactly what we needed to bring, to be aware of etc when heading up to hike Pico Areeiro to Pico Ruivo, Kevin was a great guide during the transfers, with lots of extra comments about the area and recommendations about places to go, restaurants etc. Definitely the way to do this walk, will absolutely use again next time we visit!!

amazing service!! could not recommend it more and Ulisses was an amazing driver and super helpful and happy to answer any questions! super easy to book and the transfer was so convenient and organised really well.

Today amazing sunrise and as amazing hike with my family. Pico Transfer was very professional and easy consept. Thank you Elisabet!

Amazing day trip on a beautiful sunny day, Kevin and Elisabeth have been very helpful . Definitely recommend!

Perfect for people without a car but still wanting to go hiking. Communication is excellent, clear, reliable and very friendly and professional. Driver Kevin was super punctual, with safe driving style and friendly conversation and recommendations. I stayed in Porto da Cruz, and it was no problem to be dropped off at a near by busstop. Hike was great with phenomenal weather and views. For regular hikers, you can do this in 3hours (onr way). Highly recommended.

Absolutely lovely tour guides, reasonably priced and phenomenal views

Punctual, polite and professional transfer for the Pico to Pico hike. Great playlist in the van too! 😎

A really good way to go on this beautiful hike! They are really punctual and provide explicit details, so you don't have to worry about the logistics. You have enough time to do the hike without rushing, but you don't need to wait for too long after that, perfect balance! The driver, Kevin, was talkative, friendly and gave good tips about the hike, as well as the island itself. Much recommended!

Such a nice service, i can highly recommend the sunrise tour. They also give a very good tips for your tour and if you want you can hike with the people who are doing the tour with you:) further they have nice drivers and you can rely on their times.

Great service, on time, great communication and planning. Loved seeing the sunrise before the trek. Also cool meet some people on the “bus” and see again during the trek. Would use again.

Great service, highly recommend

Excellent service! All arrangements was according to their promicies. Naturally the views at the hike to Pico Ruivo were splendid.

Excellent service. Elizabeth sent lots of information the day before including pick up time and weather forecast. Diego the driver was incredibly friendly and knowledgable. He was also a really safe driver! Highly recommend!

5 out of 5 experience! They sent full instructions a day before via whatsapp, we were well prepared. The pickup was timely and the driver shared lots of insights about the island and the upcoming hike. Definitely worth having the pickup on the other side of the island instead of leaving the car and having to walk all the way back (the hike is quite difficult but views are stunning).

Amazing day made all the better by Pico Transfers. The communication post purchase was brilliant and the transfers the day itself even better. It felt like we had a full time tour guide!! Pico went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day. Don’t drive, go Pico!!

They’re super professional, friendly and helpful. Best transfer service so far. Highly recommended.

Super organisiert! Ich konnte online den Transfer buchen und bezahlen. Da in dieser Woche das Wetter schlecht war, an dem Tag wo ich gebucht habe, haben Sie mir per Email und Whatsapp geschrieben und das Datum kostenlos geändert. Am Tag vorher bekommt man dann per WhatsApp die Details für den Transfer. Der Fahrer war sehr pünktlich und hat un während der Fahrt noch Infos von der Umgebung gegeben. Die Abholung am Treffpunkt war wieder sehr pünktlich und wir sind dann noch kurz über Santana gefahren und haben die Häuser mit den Strohdächen angeschaut. Ich würde diesen Service jederzeit wiederholen!

Pico Transfers is offering a very useful shuttle service for the PR1 walk from Pico do Areeiro to Pico Ruivo. The communication and planning was quite remarkable, the driver was very friendly and knowledgeable. The walk itself is not very challenging, however for me it was a great opportunity to relax and meet other people on the route, after a few days of longer walks. I really hope to see more routes proposed by Pico Transfers in the near future, especially on the west side of the island (e.g. Rabaçal, Fanal)

I highly recommend this service for people who enjoy solo hiking rather than doing it with a group and a guide! It's really cool that you provide transport in this concept. The process of organising was very easy and I really appreciate the top quality communication and clarity (detailed info, maps etc). The driver was super friendly and talkative, he obviously loves his job wholeheartedly and is really dedicated. He provided us some extra information and answer questions. If you are looking for transfer to Pico de Arieiro it is definitely great choice!
