Our tour guide, Catia,...
Our tour guide, Catia, provided lots of information about the area. She paid particular attention to us being comfortable and our needs being met. She learned all of our names and used them when addressing us. The van was very comfortable. Loved that Catia has a headset and the van had a speaker so that we could hear everything that she said. Lunch was plentiful and interesting - lots of traditional foods. The walk in the park was longer than comfortable for some guests, but the reward was stunning views. Very nice tour.

Wonderful whale watching trip
This was so easy to book so easy to get to in such a pleasant experience. I took the larger boat option which still had probably less than 50 people on it rather than the catamaran. We got close to the whales and saw several, but the cabins were able to get much much closer. Even more fun than the whales were the Atlantic dolphins who played in our wake on the way back after to shore. All of the guides and people involved in taking care of us and showing us the whales were wonderful friendly professional. I really enjoyed this trip and highly recommended it.

Great tour despite the rain!
Roy was an excellent guide for our party of eight. He was prompt and courteous and did not let the poor weather deter us. He was very energetic and knowledgeable about the area and he was a very safe driver. The tea plantation and the Traditional Furnas stew at lunch were highlights along with a windy and sunny view from the first viewpoint. We did do the Furnas hot springs in the rain which was fun but we forgot a towel. The Caldeiras in Furnas in the rain were spooky. The Caloura harbor was spectacular with the high waves. Highly recommend this outing as an initial introduction to Sao Miguel.

Stop over perfection
What a fantastic tour, absolutely loved it and recommend for a perfect overview of the beauty of the island
João was so helpful starting the tour a little early when my stopover window was dramatically shortened
He made sure I was at the airport right in time. I was shown so many hidden gems in our time together, so now I’ve got to return to have a full experience. Please take this tour, you will love it

Must do on day 1
Tomás was such a sweet and great host throughout the tuktuk experience. My parents loved the experience he had planned and all the areas we explored throughout Ponta Delgada and some parts of Lagoa. Highly recommend to do this on arrival day, it’s a great way to get out and see the surroundings with a local who has pride in his origins and is eager to share it with us. Tomás, keep up the great work and energy, you are a true gem👍🏻

Lovely views and a great day
During the entire tour, José made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying their day. Each stop was beautiful and accompanied with informative commentary. The lunch buffet was so delicious. As an extra, we went to the liquor factory and managed to squeeze in a mini tour with the opportunity to buy some travel size Souvenirs. A great day and a great tour.

A fun adventure!
We had a great afternoon with Tomas and Alberto! They made the experience fun and enjoyable. We were provided with all the gear we needed. Just show up and meet the company in the parking lot. All you need is a bathing suit. You can leave your shoes/clothing in their van for the duration of the experience. This was a lot of fun and great for the kids (ours were ages 8 and 11). Highly recommend giving this tour a try. It was great!

Amazing, cannot recommend highly enough!
This trip was truly fantastic. AMAZING places to see with just the right amount of time given to each place. I really appreciated 1.5 hours in Terra Nostra so it was enough time to speed walk the park and have a 15 min dip in the hot springs. Dinner after was fab! Ok, the food isn't tasty but it was a fabulous experience and portions were enormous. My tour guide Andre is the best guide I've ever had! He really made the trip so special, I will never forget it. A group size of 8 is perfect. I can't fault this fabulous trip at all.

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.

Book it!
A great way to see the island without having to rent a car (you would be fine driving around town, but getting to some of the highlight spots in Sete Cidades, for example, are easy to miss or require a half day hike). We had João and Eric for the two days and they were both very friendly and knowledgeable, taking us to many sightseeing/photo ops and local places over the two days. You do travel in a 8 or 10 passenger van though, which allows you to get to some of the harder to navigate spots, but I would recommend motion sickness meds (if you’re like me and haven’t sat in the back of a van in a while) and layers, as the weather changes rapidly. Can’t recommend this tour enough, though, and the lunch option is well worth it to get a real taste of the local cuisine.

The ultimate private tour!
Carlos was very kind, knowledgeable, caring and flexible. He picked us up at the cruise ship dock on time and toured us all around at our pace. He explained the historic and significant spots of interest and answered all of our questions. When we needed to stop for a restroom and lunch he gave us our choice of options. Carlos is the man! And the Azores are just amazing! Lastly he got us back to our cruise ship in plenty of time.

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.
