Cassie P, Oct 2017
Johanna was a fantastic tour guide! She showed us beautiful parts of the island that we never would have seen on our own, in our own car. There were three of us, along with two others on our tour. Johanna did a great job translating to English for us, as well as to Spanish for the other two on our trip. It was a very informative and fun day spent traveling throughout Sete Cidades! I highly recommend this tour!

Had a fabulous trip with Joanna, my husband and I were her only customers and so enjoyed the information, the special places we saw that we would never have known how to reach, and her company. The off-road was great as we wouldn't have seen the views and sites from the standard roads, and we found beauty even in the fog before the sun came out! After a long, fun, full-filling day the jeep did break down but Joanna and her team were professional, cared for our safety and got us a back up ride very quickly. The time we spent waiting we took a beautiful walk and learned more about the beautiful island. Great tour.

NicolieW_S, Sep 2016
What fun! The cloud cover was to just above ground level, so we didn't see a lot of the lakes, but our guide made sure we had the opportunity to walk beside the lake and get a sense of their size and beauty. This really was a 4WD adventure - lots of dirt roads and mountains and definitely not for a regular car. Our guide was brilliant. She is the definition of 'adventurous spirit' and has fantastic people skills as well as a lot of local knowledge. We had a great day and smiled and laughed most of the time.

Hugo took us 4-wheeling and was very accommodating! We all had a blast with conversation and learning about different areas of the island! Would definitely ride with this tour guide again!
