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.

​

I discovered my true 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!

Recomendable 100%

Actividad totalmente recomendable. Fui com mi esposa y el guía nos hizo una excursión privada, adaptada a nuestras necesidades. Muchas gracias a Kevin por su trato y por sus explicaciones sobre Pico. Además nos preparó un almuerzo, con especialidades típicas de la isla y con productos de su propio huerto, en un lugar increíble. Sin duda la mejor manera de conocer la isla.
