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!

São Miguel Full Day Guided Tour to Furnas with Lunch Included

Bari_D, Jul 2026

A lovely day every step of the way with Carla, our caring guide

This was an all day tour that started with excellent communication from our tour guide, Carla. Carla took the time to know all of the guests names and provided great care all day at every stop. When I was picked up she personally greeted me and even walked down my pedestrian street to get me. When I got in the van the other group mentioned that they did another tour with Carla yesterday and how wonderful of a guide she is. I felt so safe, her driving was professional and she is very knowledgable about each location on the itinerary. I strongly recommend this lovely tour!

Furnas Night-Time Experience with Thermal baths and Dinner

Connie_B, Jul 2026

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.

Experiencing Sao Miguel!

Went on this tour with a group of friends, and we had a great time! There was a lot of beautiful sights to see that we would never have seen without an experienced guide and driver. The buffet lunch was delicious and we had tons of food to eat to our hearts content. João was a great tour guide, and would highly recommend a tour with him anytime!

Best guide for bird watching and families!

I traveled to Sao Miguel with my husband and 3 kids. We wanted to see as much of the island as we could and knew that traveling with a local guide would be the best way to learn about the island. We booked two days so we could see different areas with the island and we were with Delfin for both of those days. He was such an informative guide telling us about the island, the people, the cows!, and the volcanic formation of the island. My husband was specifically interested in seeing the Priolo while we were there. Delfin made no promises that we would get to see it however we saw 15-20! Thanks to Delfin for knowing the territories to go to. We learned so much and had a great time thanks to Delfin and his patience with our kids as well!

This is a Must-Do! Our...

This is a Must-Do! Our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about local history and culture, and took us to beautiful scenic spots we never would have found on our own. The dinner was delicious, and visiting the hot springs at nighttime was perfect!!! We went on our last night of our trip and it was exactly the great end of a trip we needed. Highly recommend!

Cruise Travellers : Blue & Green Lake and Furnas Volcano wonders

Therese_D, Jun 2026

Enjoyable day

This trip is made for travelers coming with a cruise ship, we didnt know but our guide picked us up from our hotel and took us for the trip anyway. We drove and got storytellings, and it was nice. Later we had our time to have a spa at Terra Nostra, and enjoyed the botanical garden there. Later we had more drivings and storytelling. The day was good and we had our best time with Joao, our guide. It was a quick tour, but we loved it. Reccomend this.

Definitely well worth doing

Interesting and informative tour around a fascinating and beautiful island. Our driver and guide José was excellent - informative and friendly (without being too talkative all the time, which is a risk on this sort of tour). Excellent lunch included too - cooked in a natural hot spring :) All in all, heartily recommended! --Tim

Wonderful tour

We had a wonderful jeep tour. Our tour guide was Sergio. He grew up on the island and shared so much knowledge with us. He’s a great driver and so thoughtful. Our family had a great time visiting many places on this tour. No way we would know about these beautiful hidden spots. Thank you so much Sergio.

Terrific Adventure to Nordeste

Excellent experience despite Mother Nature not being cooperative. Our tour guide plus the majestic beauty of the sites prevailed to create a wonderful tour.

Azores: Shore Excursion Sete Cidades - Blue & Green Twin Crater Lakes

Kenneth_B, May 2026

Fantastic time in Punta Delgada

I wasn't expecting much from this excursion and, to be honest, my impression of the tours offered in Ponta Delgada weren't really interesting to me. I was so glad I took the plunge with this tour though. Our drive to Sete Cidades and the northern part of the island was breathtaking. We stopped at several viewpoints for pictures of the lakes and our tour guide offered to take some spectacular pictures of my family. My daughter especially loved feeding some ducks at the shore of Lagoa das Sete Cidades with some spare cat food the guide had. My favorite part was our visit to the Mosteiros Islets, something I've only seen in pictures and, combined with the area's cliffs and black volcanic sand beaches, made this booking well worth it. To top off all the gorgeous scenery we visited, our tour guide was very knowledgable of the areas and provided insight into all sorts of questions we had. He also knew there would be other tours visiting the areas we went to and adjusted our itinerary so that there were either very few people or no one else but us in the areas we visited. It really made our tour feel personal and curated just for us.

Virginia_S, Apr 2026

Our 2nd time! Wonderful.

This is the second time we have gone on this tour in three years. We really think it is a great tour and lots of fun and a wonderful way to see so much for a very short period of time. The guys are really making an effort to personalize the tour and give you information about the Island. I'd recommend it again -we thought Carlos was fabulous and we had such a fun time with him.
