Nice day

Great guide. Thanks to Luis. It was good for a first day after the red eye. He was very knowledgeable.

It was amazing! The guide...

It was amazing! The guide had a great knowledge of everything and we felt very safe with him. We are only two on the tour and he was patient and even agreed to bring us to the pineapple plantations since we had extra time. I 100% recommend!!

Disappointed 😞

Darryl_G, Sep 2024
The vender said they never received the confirmation for the Tour. Even though I received 2-3 messages of confirmation before the tour. The vender that work with Viator was very rude and she tried to brush me off and set me up with taxi driver who could not do the actually tour for us. I was terribly disappointed and frustrated because it was an experience lost. I do not know when I will be able to visit Azores again!

Mr. Darryl, As the tour operator , in the case of your booking we did not receive an email notification of your Booking , we have checked and it was a glish as your tour was booked ,and atomatacly comfirmed by our sistem, but we were not made awere of the booking by normal means (email). We were also were very disapointed that we could not give you any options and a tour to enjoy our paradise Island! We will implement a re-cheking procedure of everybooking in viator platform, weekly in summer moths and monthly in the winter. thank you for your feedback and helping us to prevent that this hapens to any other client / Island Explorer- Best regards, Alice Lima

Lagoa do Fogo, great place! Would be much better if completed with the whole trekking around the lake.

The tour was a nice...

The tour was a nice insight into the island. We went to areas that brought out the uniqueness of how people live and how the island was formed.

Highly recommend!

Tour guide was very knowledgeable. He made the tour fun and was able to make the best of the weather. We felt very safe and comfortable.

Excellent experience. Highly recommend

Tour guide, Miguel was excellent. Fog prevented a clear view of the lagoa, but he pivoted and showed us other interesting sights. We will tour with him on our next visit to S Miguel.

Beautiful spot

Maria_T, Jun 2023
The scenery was fabulous and our tour guide, Margarita (Maggie) was very professional and accommodating. She took us to see other interesting sites as well. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Excellent tour for an introduction to the Azores.

Gordon_M, Apr 2023
This was an amazing and intimate tour. The guide was knowledgeable, funny, and a very calm and skilled driver. He gave us great insights into the history of the Azores.

Perfect day in spite of the weather

Maureen_D, Apr 2023
Delphim, our guide was great, but the weather wasn’t. No craters for us but a wonderful day was had. He shared his city with us. We were picked up at the cruise ship terminal ad taken all around the island. Lots of cows, hot springs and water falls. Can’t wait to return

Beautiful introduction to Sao Miguel

lorraine_l, Jul 2022
Philips was Fabulous!!! Knew the history of Sao Miguel, and the names of all the flowers and trees. He schooled us on the indigenous history of the flora and import history also. Picked us up at our hotel in Caloura and drop off, and took us thru the town and recommend a fabulous seafood restaurant on the ocean. I only wish we did not have prior reservations on other days because I would have spent the next 4 days with him.

Great 1/2 day

Telmo was an amazing guide and we had a spectacular day! The Jeep allowed us to stop at some more unique overlooks and we really enjoyed the nature and all the information. Thanks!

Perfekter Abschluss eines schönen Urlaubs

Barbara_H, Jul 2024
Wir haben diese Halbtagestour für unseren letzten Tag gebucht weil uns der Lagao d. Fogo bis zu diesem Tag noch fehlte und wir das Auto schon abgeben mussten. Unser Guide war super hilfsbereit, hat das Programm ein bisschen angepasst nach unseren Wünschen (einen Stopp hatten wir schon gesehen) und uns einiges über Flora/Fauna, Land und Leute erzählt. Wir hatten eine gute Zeit und können dieses Erlebnis nur empfehlen.
