Benedicte_L, Aug 2026

Amazing tour ! Must do

This tour was a great complement to the West Tour. I highly recommend doing both, as they allow you to see many interesting and different things that complement each other very well. Once again, our guide Joao was amazing and very attentive to everyone’s needs. The small group and the very clean vehicle also made the experience even better. Amazing time!

Evening thermal experience

We decided on this tour for a night time vibe. We were picked up and dropped off by Anna our tour guide. It was amazing from start to finish. We enjoyed all the features of the stops, the wonderful meal at Tony’s paired with red and white wine, along with other beverages of choice. The thermal observations around the village coupled with a night time experience of thermal spa relaxation was divine.

Fun times

A wonderful trip on the other side of the island if you don't have a rental vehicle. Had a tour in a comfortable AC van with Bernard, who does use a microphone so everyone can hear what he has to say. The lunch was amazing, and honestly the best food we had on the island. It had some beautiful viewpoint stops. The only thing I would have done differently was stay with Bernard at the Parque Terra Nostra stop instead of going into the park, because 1 hour is not enough for the price you pay.
