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!

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!

A+ Tour!!!
João was a fantastic guide. He was well-informed and was able to answer all of our questions. It was a cloudy day so he modified the route to give the fog time to lift and it worked out perfectly- like the clouds were lifting just for us! He was energetic, funny and gave us some great recommendations. I would highly recommend this tour and this guide!

The fingerprints of God
If you can only pick one tour to do on your trip, this is it! The beauty of this island is off the charts, (ROM.1:20) and to see it on bikes is such a great way to experience it. Make sure to visit when the hydrangeas are in bloom. You don’t want to miss this.

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!

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!

Lunch with a view
We were picked up promptly from our ship by our guide. Unfortunately we had a lot of fog on the first part of the tour and did not see much on the overlooks...not the tours fault. Once we got on the other side of the island it was beautiful and we had great views. Lunch was at the Guide's family restaurant. There was a spectacular view of the ocean and the food was very good. The staff was great and we enjoyed it very much. We drove through some small towns that were very nice. Our guide was able to accommodate our request to make a quik stop at the pineapple farm. We appreciated that.

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.

Extremely knowledgeable
Our tour with Henry was fantastic. He curated our stops based off our wishlist, and suggested alternatives as some of the viewpoints were not visible due to weather. Despite the weather, Henry was fantastic and had no shortage of facts about the history of the island, answering all our questions and educating us on the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out with whatever timetable you have- Henry was accommodating and would be fantastic for anything from a half-day to a multi-day tour.
