Best tour on the island!!
I got so lucky with Marco as my tour guide. I was limited on time but he made sure I was able to see as much as possible. I appreciated all of his effort to bring me to each viewpoint even though it was very foggy. He was so patient and accommodating. He also provided several treats along the way. He gave me a bottle of water and a snack, then treated me to local pineapple cake, coffee and other goods. It was such a well-rounded experience and it was the highlight of my short time here. Highly recommend booking this tour with Marco!!

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

Amazing, Fun and Educational Experience!
This excursion is a full day exploring the East side of the island! You get to see so many amazingly gorgeous areas! This experience was AMAZING! João was literally the best guide! He was extremely knowledgeable, funny (even with some cheesy dad jokes), and an unexpected surprise, he’s a great photographer! He made sure that our group was involved and informed. He was attentive to everyone’s needs and requests. João literally made the day more enjoyable! I would highly recommend this experience with João and Pure Azores Tours! Ask for João!!!

Beautiful view points
We were lucky to have Andre our tour guide a second day. We saw so many beautiful sights. Andre took us to many gorgeous view points to see all different parts of the island. We learned a lot of new information too. I would highly recommend this tour and tour company.

Great tour exploring some of the less visited sites!
Great tour exploring some of the less visited sites of Sao Miguel including a delicious buffet lunch in a small village restaurant. Our tour guide was Joao who was a great character and very knowledgable. I can recommend the tour for those looking for some great views that aren’t currently on the tourist route.

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.

Highly recommended!
This tour was an absolutely amazing experience! It beautifully showcased the diverse Azorean landscape, featuring everything from calderas and lagoons to waterfalls. Joaquim, our guide, was exceptionally knowledgeable about both the natural environment and the rich culture of the Azores.

What a fun way to tour!! ...
What a fun way to tour!! I was unsure of what to expect, but the ATV tour was just a great way to see area in a different way. We had already done a full day tour of the Sete Cidades area by a traditional van tour earlier in the week, and though we went to overlapping areas, the open air traveling (though admitted cold at times) allowed us to take away a different experience from the beautiful nature we were seeing. Philip was our guide and he was attentive, fun and knowledgeable. He kept things moving but in a comfortable pace. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a little adventure with their sightseeing.

A great way to see São Miguel island.
Although things started off problematically with the pick-up, it was all worked out. The guide/driver was excellent, and even though the weather did not fully cooperate, he was flexible and made sure we did as much as it was possible to accomplish. His commentary was concise, insightful, and informative, and his ability to handle both Portuguese and English speaking guests was superb. A fully remarkable tour.
