What a wonderful day!...
What a wonderful day! Francisco was friendly, helpful and engaging. He picked me up at my hotel promptly and we stopped at the many points of interests as promised. What a beautiful city. If you’ve done the mountain excursions, this is the perfect and delightful way to wrap up your trip. By the way, Tomas (the owner) was also very responsive when I had a question about pickup and was highly accommodating. I highly recommend this tour. What a fun way to see the city. And easy ingress and egress!!! - my elderly mother would have loved that!

This great tour covered...
This great tour covered the key places to see on Sao Miguel, taking us to 5 or so main tourist attractions. All along from and to Ponta Delgada, we enjoyed beautiful scenery on the chosen route. The driver who functioned as the tour leader was very cordial and helpful. He provided us with historical information, factual information, and contextual information relative to the other islands, the Portuguese mainland, and the Azores's role yesterday and today. We also got pieces of fun information as we went along and he answered our many questions. I felt this was an excellent overview of Ponta Delgada and Sao Miguel.

Spectacular Experience
You need to experience the thermal baths. Extremely relaxing time, and the nature that surrounds you is beautiful. Gabriel is more than a tour guide, he goes above and beyond. Book with him in the early days of your trip. He has a breadth of knowledge of Sao Miguel and loves to give recommendations for food, activities, sights, etc.

Highly recommend!!
This trip was amazing! Not only did we get to see 2 blue whales, a pod of Ocre Whales, common and bottlenose dolphins, but all of the marine biologists were simply phenomenal! They answered all of my kids’ questions and were genuinely as thrilled to see the wildlife as we were. I highly recommend!

A great day from start to finish!
The trip was well planned, and the short drives from point to point made the experience even more enjoyable. Exploring Furnas and Povoaçao village was absolutely breathtaking. The Cozido was delicious, trully unique and prepared in such an extraordinary way! It is worth paying for it. We were grateful to have an excellent guide, Eduardo, who showed us the very best of the island's east side. Thank you, Eduardo, x 1000 !

Furnas Lake
We had a great time exploring Furnas Lake, Carla, our guide was not only very knowledgeable but also very proud about her Island and gave us lots of information.
We loved the experience of “Cozido à la portuguesa” very unique Portuguese experience. 💯 recommended

Best tour I have ever been on!
This tour is the perfect way to see the eastern part of the island. Very relaxed and beautiful scenery. So nice to get out of the city. Our guide Joaquim was the best and made this experience even more wonderful. He was attentive to questions and conversation to everyone in our group. No rushing at all. Had a lot of inside info since this is his home! Every stop we made was beautiful and the stew was delicious!

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!

first time canyoning.
My husband and I very much enjoyed this canyoning experience. We ended up being the only two to book that day so we were really able to take our time and enjoy our experience. Our guides were fantastic and took the time to teach us about the island and recommended an amazing lunch place. We felt safe and had so much fun.

Family Buggy Ride with amazing views!
Our family enjoyed the buggy ride around the island. Our 10 year old daughter and 7 year son enjoyed it. The guides were helpful explaining everything, provided helmets, explained the stops that we got off to view and take photos. We felt save and enjoyed it.

Great time being out in...
Great time being out in the open air and seeing many areas in the Western half of Sao Miguel, Azores in the Dune Buggies!!! Great guide and the rest of the people in our group were great! The only thing I would recommend to add to the trip is to provide goggles for everyone as especially with wet roads you get a lot of road debris thrown back at your face. Sunglasses are not quite enough protection by themselves!
Great trip and would definitely do it again!!!
