Andy picked us up right at the cruise port and we had a great day experiencing some of what the island had to offer. Interesting sites, good food and beautiful scenery. He's a great guide and highly recommend this tour.

Great tour!

Diana_R, Apr 2026
Andy was a wonderful guide and knew the history and geography and topography of the island. We learned a great deal about how the island was formed and the historical information of the island.

Wonderful and Relaxing

One of the best coordinated and relaxing tours. Andy was great! This was a very nice, low key, personal tour experience. We were not in the mood for rushing and wanted to spend a nice private experience in Furnas. Andy knows everything about the villages and culture. He was engaging at the right level, knew how to get everywhere with ease and since he is British but has lived in Furnas for 9 years, knows the locals, can speak fluently in Portuguese. One of the best overall relaxing and interesting tours I’ve done. Oh and the food was amazing (and gluten free for my celiac Husband).

Wonderful shore excursion.

Simply exquisite!

Dennis_P, Apr 2024
Our guide, Andy, was very personable and gave us lots of Azorean history, culture and traditions throughout the day. He drove us up into the mountain (volcano) and dropped us off to have an hour leisurely walk enjoying the beautiful lake. Showed us several thermal activity sites, one in particular where local restaurants cook their food for the day. We went to Terra Nostra for the gorgeous gardens and to enjoy the warm mineral bath and then off to lunch at a great local restaurant Tony’s for a 3 course amazing lunch! One of the best excursions we have experienced - definitely would use him again while visiting the Azores!!

Enjoy the Azores with THIS tour!

Aimee_R, Dec 2023
Highly...highly...highly recommend this tour!! Andy was professional, full of knowledge, and eager to make this experience everything we were hoping for. We soaked in the thermal spring, drank the local tea, ate the authentic lunch, and left the Azores feeling like we had a new friend. Want to come back and see more soon!

A Perfect Day in the Azores!

10 stars! This was such a magical and wonderful way to visit this stunning location. Andy was truly a gem. He was truly knowledgeable about anything we could have asked or wanted to know. I can not recommend this tour enough. It was hands down one of the best experiences and we will cherish our time there forever. If you are looking for a safe and welcoming local point of view book this immediately! Thank you Andy we are so grateful for your kindness and fabulous day!
