This excursion is unique because we will visit two iconic places in the Azores, Lagoa do Fogo is the second largest on the island of São Miguel and one of the largest in the Azores.

Visiting a place it's more than exploring and taking pictures. It's also about understanding what makes that place special and unique, it's culture, it's people. I've lost count of how many people I've encountered that regretted renting a car and exploring on their own (all the stress involved and the nature of the island twisty narrow roads contribute to that), or others that at the tea or pineapple plantations ask me to give some explanation about what they are seeing when they are not my clients and realize what they are missing. On a private tour, tailored to your needs and interests, you can let an experienced tour guide drive you around in a safe and relaxed environment, learn about the places you visit and, in some way, become a local too. You won't have to divide the guide's attention with others, it's a private tour! You'll learn the local culture, economy, habits while being driven by not only a local experienced guide… But a friend!
