hello!

 

I’m Kevin, the guide behind basalt private tours, and I’m delighted to introduce you to one of the most magnificent places on the planet.

Before moving to Pico Island in 2021, I spent 15 years working in the social sector in Brussels, supporting individuals and groups in a variety of socio-cultural projects. This experience taught me excellent listening skills, adaptability, and how to connect with people from all walks of life, skills I now bring to every tour I lead.

On Pico Island, I discovered my new passion while working in a local travel agency: sharing the beauty, culture, and stories of Pico with visitors. That’s when I decided to become a freelance guide and dedicate myself fully to creating memorable experiences.

I speak fluent English, French, and Dutch, which allows me to communicate easily with international visitors.

As a certified guide with in-depth knowledge of Pico’s landscapes, history, and traditions, I design private tours for individuals and groups, fully tailored to your interests.

 

With enthusiasm, care, and a love for this island, I aim to make every tour a positive, unforgettable experience. I look forward to guiding you through the wonders of Pico!

Amazing tour

Our tour of Pico Island with Kevin was amazing from start to finish. We explored volcanic lava tubes, visited stunning lakes surrounded by breathtaking landscapes, enjoyed a vineyard with wine tasting, and even swam in a natural pool. One of the highlights of the day was the lunch Kevin prepared for us.
