Qualified Guide

I have had a passion ever since young: showing my island and the Azores to those who visit us. Hence, when I retired from another profession in 2019, I registered as a tourism animation actor to be able to engage in my passion full time.

WHO WE ARE 

José Costa, private tourist guide 


Showing my land, my island to those who come to visit is something I’ve done ever since young and always with pleasure. The islands of the Azores are so beautiful but it is about Pico that I can talk with greatest feeling. I know its history and its customs like few others – after all, I was born here.



In 2019, I was able to retire from my other job and dedicate myself full time to this activity that provides me with such pleasure – showing my island to those who visit so that they can get to know it as well as me. Hence, I registered as a tourism animation agent. Correspondingly, I prepare for each client with care and attention, gathering interesting information for presentation and ensuring the source is reliable. I have built up everything I know from reading literature, the training provided by the Regional Secretariat for Tourism on the main routes in the Azores, but also in the company of more elderly folk who have extraordinary and unique knowledge.

Qualified Guide

Ever since I was young, I’ve enjoyed showing my island to visitors and so, when I retired from my previous job in 2019, I registers as a tourism animation agent.
