An absolute highlight of our trip—phenomenal guide!
We had an absolutely incredible day exploring São Miguel! Our guide, Jose Maria Santos, was excellent, patient, and deeply knowledgeable. From navigating the breathtaking ridges of Caldeira das Sete Cidades to showing us the stunning vistas at Lagoa do Fogo, Ribeira Grande, and the gorgeous Salto do Cabrito waterfall, he paced the day perfectly.
We learned so much from him about the local history and geology, and his friendly, warm personality made us feel completely comfortable throughout the entire journey. He is truly a terrific guy who goes above and beyond. If you are booking this itinerary, you are in for an amazing experience!

East of São Miguel island day tour with Pure Azores
Excellent full day tour with Clara of Pure Azores. The weather wasn’t the best, but we still got to see most of the viewpoints. Furnas was a great experience, both for the sampling of different flavoured liqueurs, tasting various different waters coming out of numerous springs, and the fantastic traditional Cozido lunch at Tony’s restaurant - one of the best meals we had during our stay in the Azores.

So glad we did!
What a wonderful evening! Ivo is a very attentive and knowledgeable tour guide. Transportation was comfortable. The tour was very informative and personal in such a small group. Dinner was very relaxing, with the local dish and wine excellent and plentiful. We loved the hot springs at night. This is something we definitely could not have done on our own. Highly recommended!!!

Wonderful experience! ...
Wonderful experience! Our tour guide, Bruno, was amazing. Very knowledgeable of the areas and quite entertaining! We saw some incredible sites. I would recommend choosing one specific ‘area’ focus. Otherwise lots of driving time. No fault of their part.

Great one-day tour of São Miguel!
A great one-day tour of São Miguel, Açores. Fun, informative visit to Gorreana Tea Factory, and the volcanic Lagoa das Furnas and the town of Furnas with its many sulfur vents were beautiful and fascinating. A great local lunch included, followed by a visit to the beautiful Terra Nostra botanical garden and soaking hot springs. Guide Jen was friendly and very informative. We had a great time!

Can’t say enough good things about this tour.
Wonderful tour! Marco was very engaging and made sure we had a great day, despite the uncooperative weather. He shifted the itinerary as the day went on to give us the best sights and stops. The box lunch was delicious local bread and cheese. We had booked the 3 hour tour, and at the end, he offered for us to continue on, which we happily did. You won’t go wrong with this tour!

Fun day exploring Hidden Gems
Had a great time with our tour guide João, who was knowledgeable, helpful and patient. We had ample time at each stop to take in the scenery and take pictures. There were no crowds so we had all the space we could want to explore. The included lunch was buffet style of traditional local cuisine and it was enjoyable.

Good interesting tour
It was a full day in an 8 seater Mercedes vito driver/ guide was professional and friendly. It was Sunday and a few places were closed the weather was generally good although one lake was totally cloudy bound. Lunch was ok a little crowded. Worth doing the tour for sure

A beautiful tropical paradise!
The tour was fantastic, Claudia was impressive on her knowledge of the island, whether it be the village or the volcano or just answering my many questions. My favorite was the botanical gardens, beautiful flora. A little wet today, but what’s a bit of rain! It’s tropical and the Azores thrive. Well worth it. Thanks for the day Claudia

An amazing day
My experience with Joaquim was absolute perfection. It was absolutely amazing to see Sete Cidades and Lago do Fogo. Everything was timed perfectly for a relaxed, yet eventful experience rooted in understanding more deeply the island’s customs and culture. I 100% recommend this experience and I suggest you request Joaquim to be your tour guide.

Great tour and great company!
We had a great time on our tour with Romeo! We went on our first full day so that we could return to some of the places we enjoyed most.
Our guide gave many local recommendations and facts about the Azores in addition to a lovely tour. He was laid back and flexible yet attentive.
My only recommendation would be to ensure you get a reservation in one of the jeeps as we had another group of 2 in a regular 4x4 SUV and it was a bit tight.

Amazing trip
We (family of 6) spent a full day with Jose touring Furnas. He shared stories and history of the places we went. And went out of his way to drop us off or pick us up as close as possible to ensure my husband with limited mobility was able to see all the sites. Jose started the day with car trouble but that did not stop him from getting us around the island. Just made it more of an adventure. Jose was wonderful, knowledgeable and took us places we would not have seen on our own. We would definitely recommend booking with Jose and would absolutely book with him again.
