The best tour guide Joao!!
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. This was perfect to customize to our own needs and the van was comfortable to fit 6 people. Joao was our guide and gave us amazing recommendations, showed us hidden gems and happily gave us background and history. You can tell how much he loves the island! Will always recommend him to anyone looking to have a private customized tour!

Biking Sete Citates
Thomas was fantastic helping us every step of the way, guiding us how to better approach the challenges. We thought that the trail was more appropriate for hiking than biking. The vegetation on both sides was high, so we couldn’t see much of the landscape.

Flavio Turned My Layover Into an Unforgettable Azores Experience!
Flavio was absolutely outstanding! He was professional, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable, and I felt completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire tour.
He went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule and ensure I made the most of the limited time I had during my layover. He personalized the experience around my needs and even recommended restaurants and other things to do while I waited for my flight.
I was genuinely impressed by both the tour and Flavio’s exceptional service. My experience with him made me want to return and spend more time exploring the Azores. I highly recommend this tour! you will be in excellent hands!

Full day Jeep tour with Sergio!!
We had the most incredible full-day tour with Sergio from Green Zone Tours, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our entire trip!
Sergio was wonderful from start to finish — incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and so easygoing. He made everyone feel comfortable and completely at ease throughout the day. You could tell how much he genuinely loves the island and enjoys sharing it with visitors.
We learned so much about the history, culture, landscape, and hidden gems of the Azores, and Sergio was able to answer every question we threw at him. His knowledge of the island was incredible! The Defender was beautiful 💚
Sergio took us to see some beautiful beaches and a few of his favourite local spots while we waited for the fog to burn off for the grand finale Lagoa do Fogo! And it was so worth the wait! When the fog finally cleared, the view from the top was absolutely STUNNING. 🌋😍
We also discovered Santa Bárbara Beach, which ended up being another favourite stop — and a place we probably never would have found without Sergio!
What made the day so special was that it didn't feel like we were simply being taken from one tourist attraction to another. It felt like we were exploring the island with a local who genuinely wanted us to experience the best of São Miguel.
I would highly recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your trip. Sergio is not only an amazing guide, but he can give you great ideas and recommendations for the rest of your stay. His local knowledge can point you in the right direction for beaches, places to visit, things to see, and experiences you might otherwise miss.
What a fantastic day! Thank you, Sergio, for making our day so memorable. You were the perfect guide, and this was definitely the highlight of our trip! 💚🌋🌊
I would absolutely recommend Green Zone Tours and Sergio to anyone visiting the Azores!

We had a wonderful tuk...
We had a wonderful tuk tuk experience with a kind and accommodating local guide Tomas! We enjoyed getting some history behind the Azores and the sites around Ponta Delgada that we would have missed otherwise. Thank you Tomas for a fantastic introduction to Ponta Delgada!

A truly wonderful...
A truly wonderful experience, I would assert. The tour guide, Fred, was amiable, and the entire excursion was relaxed and adaptable. Despite encountering some challenges midway, he assisted us in navigating them, for which I am genuinely grateful for his backing.

Fun experience
The buggy ride was really fun and we ended up seeing several amazing view points even though we couldn’t see the blue and green lakes from the viewpoints as there was too much fog. We did get to ride around them on a trail and it was beautiful. The guide was really good and patient with the group. It was an amazing experience.

Great family tour!
We had such an amazing tour with Delfim! We were traveling on a cruise and only had the day in Ponta Delgada and this tour was perfect for us and our 4 year old. He was very friendly, had great conversation, and was very knowledgeable about the island. It was nice to have the flexibility to choose what we wanted to see and also have him take us around to hidden gems. Highly recommend this tour!

Spectacular day
This private tour was perfect for my husband and me. Upon meeting at the cruise port Tiego informed us the weather would be very foggy at Sete Cidades and we would be unable to see/appreciate anything on that side of the island. He suggested an alternate tour and we went with that. It did not disappoint!
We drove north stopping stopping at scenic overlooks, at a local bakery for pastries, and then at the only tea plantation/working tea factory in Europe. We continued to the Furnas Valley where we were able to lean and appreciate the Azores volcanic activity. Fascinating! Since we were unable to eat at the family restaurant Tiego reserved a table at a restaurant where we had the famous Cozido à Portuguesa - hearty and and delicious! Tiego was very personable and full of information. He also took us to the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Paz - tour buses are unable to reach this place (wink!)
We highly recommend this tour. Will use again on our next trip to the Azores.

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.

Great half day tour of the west end of the island
Great overall tour of the west end of the island. Felipe was an excellent guide. Was easy to find him and communication was great. He took us in his 4x4 truck around the rim of the crater for some awesome views. The dirt road was very rough in places and not suited if you have back issues. We then drove to a village and to Sete Cidades where we stopped for a restroom break and snacks if we wanted to purchase. Continued the drive around the lake and across the bridge and stopped at a few more viewpoints on our way back to town. He offered to drop us off back at the ship or in town if we liked. Would recommend, the only thing missing was the bright sunny skies that would have given us the blue and green colors of the lakes.

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.
