Perfect morning seeing Cete Cidades!
Terrific morning with Nuno! We all had a great time. We were supplied with wonderful e-bikes and helmets. And Nuno made sure they were adjusted to fit each of us and that we were comfortable with our bikes before heading off. Having been on a tour of the area 7 years ago we were familiar with what we were seeing. But we rode at a leisurely pace and stopped for beautiful photo ops along the way.
The meeting place was easy to find and Nuno even called a taxi to meet us at the original meeting spot for our return to Ponta Delgada. As a cruise ship excursion, we had plenty of time afterward to walk around and eat lunch in Ponta Delgada before our all aboard time.

Marco was fantastic...
Marco was fantastic guide! He was very knowledgeable of the island and easy to interact with making our time on the tour always interesting. He was quick to understand our interest to make it a unique experience tailored to our needs. Our kids admittedly were not excited about the idea of the tour, but once they experienced it became one of the highlights of our trip! We definitely recommend this trip especially if it is your first full day on the island! Having a knowledgeable guide who enjoys what they do matters! Thanks again Marco!!

Wonderful day on Sao Miguel
Pur time with Luis was wonderful. He took us to beautiful areas on the island. Some of the areas needed a 4x4, so it was great to have those available. He asked us what we wanted to see and customized the day to us. He has a great knowledge of the island, not only places to visit but also the history. He was fun and pleasant. We would highly recommend Luis.

Personal, interesting and delicious lunch
Private tour was spectacular and very flexible to the customers. The best part was eating delicious Azores lunch at the tour guide’s family restaurant. A lifetime resident of the Azores, the tour guide had very interesting history and details about the region. Highly recommend this tour.

Beauty all Around🌸outstanding tour
We just had a wonderful all day adventure visiting the beautiful area surrounding Nordeste. Our personal tour guide Josef (Joe) was outstanding. He delivered so much information and stories of the area and of Sao Miguel. We had so many laughs and shared great memories. Thank you for giving us that personal touch and showing us so much. We thoroughly enjoyed the lovely home-cooked buffet lunch. We totally recommend this tour and especially Josef.

Good interesting tour
It was a full day in an 8 seater Mercedes vito driver/ guide was professional and friendly. It was Sunday and a few places were closed the weather was generally good although one lake was totally cloudy bound. Lunch was ok a little crowded. Worth doing the tour for sure

Private Tour with Carlos
This was an amazing private tour. Carlos was over the top we were in a cruise and we were delayed coming I. To the port. He was there waiting when we got off the ship. He was very informative and learned a lot about the area. We spent ample time at every stop and throughout enjoyed it all.

Our tour guide Eduardo...
Our tour guide Eduardo was excellent! He was born and raised on this island and had lots of great stories and history to share. The weather wasn’t the best that day and he was able to offer different options to get the best experience and views. The lunch was delicious and was authentic local food. The jeep was comfortable and we had so much fun doing some off roading as well. Overall, I would recommend this tour to anyone!

Just book it already
This was the most amazing way to see the island! Highly recommend you do it at the beginning of your trip and Arthur was a spectacular, friendly and knowledgeable guide. He’s very passionate about his home and he was so kind and sharing extra tips. We got to do a few extra things with our small group and it was truly one of the best days of my life, especially if you are a solo traveler This is an experience, unlike any other

Great private tour with family business!
Wonderful day in Furnas! Nilton was an excellent guide - kind and knowledgeable. He navigated the tricky roads with ease in his very comfortable car. As a lifelong resident, he shared lots of interesting information about life on Sao Miguel. He brought us to places we would not have found on our own. He and his brother are a family business - they take pride in the business and their home and it shows! Highly recommend!

Fantastic trip
We where on the trip yesterday with Philip as a guide. He is calm and knowledgeable guy and has a good humor. He tells local stories and shows special locations. We had a blast with our two teenage sons.
The deskription says you will go by a thermal pool. We didn’t see that but a lot of other beautiful places. We saw Furnas the day before where we experienced the thermal pool so we appreciated to se something different.

Rain Soaked Fun
We had a great experience, but got POURED ON. We got back to our cruise ship shivering. However, Felipe was very kind and even let us ride back into Ponta Delgada with him so that we didn’t have to pay for a taxi. The countryside itself was gorgeous and the info that we learned was very interesting.
