Carla was fabulous. Her knowledge of the area was impressive. She was so fun and friendly. With her we felt like we were with family. She made sure we had the best time. Love her!
Thorough with a very passionate guide who is so impressive and caring for the groups he tours with and their experience. Rui is amazing!
Denis was nice enough to rearrange schedule because of a rainy morning. He entertained us with his good sense of humor. He is passionate and knowledgeable about his country. It was an enjoyable day.
Beautiful stops, amazing guy Dennis. Perfect lunch, recommend. A nice view, great thermal bath, springs. Only you need to have a great weather.
This was an all day tour that started with excellent communication from our tour guide, Carla. Carla took the time to know all of the guests names and provided great care all day at every stop. When I was picked up she personally greeted me and even walked down my pedestrian street to get me. When I got in the van the other group mentioned that they did another tour with Carla yesterday and how wonderful of a guide she is. I felt so safe, her driving was professional and she is very knowledgable about each location on the itinerary. I strongly recommend this lovely tour!
Amazing day with outstanding tour guide! We especially enjoyed the lunch experience, eating the stew cooked inside the Furnas alongside local wine.
Loved the whole experience!
Amazing experience.
Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide.
Tour adjusted to accommodate the weather which was great
Loved the hot springs best. Wish we had more time there. The guide was very good.Nice group only 8 people
Such a fun day !! Our guide was very knowledgeable of the island and we enjoyed his company!! Breathtaking views and lunch was delicious!!
Excellent full day experience.
Carla was a wonderful and generous tour guide.
Every stop was breathtaking, the food was great and the extra details provided by our guide were interesting.
Great tour!!
Great tour....saw so much of the island. Absolutely stunning scenery. Our guide Ray kept us informed of history and economics and society. Highlight was lunch of the thermal cooked food....delicious.
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
Good tour in minibus driver was very friendly however I don't think any driver should be drinking alcohol at lunch whilst on duty. The thermal baths and park is €17 extra or €13 for seniors not €8 as stated on my confirmations the water in the baths is orange and get on your skin
Lunch was ok but two people plus driver had different meal ours was a slow cooked earth one. I would recommend the tour overall
Veye fun experience, the guide explained us a lot of things about the island and really took the time to let us explore and visit with no rush. Good was really good and spots had great view.
I would highly recommend this day long tour. Our tour guide made this experience so special. We were able to see so many wonderful places and having a local guide was just the best!
Furnas was great and the cozido was delicious. The caldeiras were interesting - kind of like the primordial soup but hotter. And the landscape! How lush and beautiful, especially as seen from the church in Vilha do Campo. A great tour!
Wonderful tour from beginning to end. Highly recommended. You won’t regret it. The lunch was great as well.
Knowledgeable, good guiding by driver, well-selected, interesting sites, good day schedule. Fantastic lunch
Bring an old swimsuit that you don't mind taking color or smell from sulfate in the terra nostra bazen. Jake is very knowledgeable and very keen to talk about any aspect of Azores' life and nature. It was all great!
I booked this trip for my mother. She was born there, and she loved her experience. The guide was highly knowledgeable about the history of the Azores that she did not even know. Thank you for giving her a wonderful experience.
Very friendly and knowledgeable guide, with a great sense of humor. The tour was informative, but balanced well so it wasn't information overkill. The stops were well spaced out - you really get to see a lot in a day, but at a great pace.
Our guide, Rui, was friendly and very knowledgeable. His timing was good for each stop we made. He talked about the culture and history of Sao Miguel so you got a real good send of the region. The restaurant at Lake Furnas was amazing. The scenery along the coast, neighborhoods, and farmlands was all stunning. Rui made our whole day an experience to remember.
What a great experience! I enjoyed every moment! Thank you Carla for an amazing day! The food was super delicious!
Interesting tour, great to see the stew being cooked and where the tea is made- scenery is stunning!
This was a wonderful experience. It is called a tour of Furnas, but this was so much more than expected. We saw Furnas, with its geysers, hot springs, and botanical gardens, but that was not all. Our guide took us to small villages, beautiful beaches, a tea plantation and other fascinating sites and gave us insight on the culture and life in Sao Miguel. This tour included a traditional lunch at a small out of the way restaurant to make the experience complete. Our guide was knowledgeable and enjoyable to spend the day with. I highly recommend this adventure!
The underground volcano lunch was great!! The church was amazing and beautiful scenery!! We had s great time.
Denis is very knowledgable and friendly! Me and my wife had a great time going to Furnas and many other places in the eastern part of Sao Miguel. He knew all the gems and had a good story or interesting facts for all the places we went and many other things about the Azores in general. We can definitely recommend his tour to east Sao Miguel and there is no doubt that the other tours are just as good!

Thank you very much mr Daniel
Carla was an EXTRAORDINARY guide and took us to beautiful and very significant places in the region. We were picked up very punctually at our hotel.

The route we really liked, the landscapes, the furnas etc. What I failed was that we were a Portuguese/Spanish speaking group and we had to constantly ask for translation to the guide that assumed we understood Portuguese and was almost always expressed in that language. I would like to speak Portuguese but since it is not so we hired the tour with a guide in Spanish.
