Interesting and informative tour around a fascinating and beautiful island.
Our driver and guide José was excellent - informative and friendly (without being too talkative all the time, which is a risk on this sort of tour).
Excellent lunch included too - cooked in a natural hot spring :)
All in all, heartily recommended!

My experience with Joaquim was absolute perfection. It was absolutely amazing to see Sete Cidades and Lago do Fogo. Everything was timed perfectly for a relaxed, yet eventful experience rooted in understanding more deeply the island’s customs and culture. I 100% recommend this experience and I suggest you request Joaquim to be your tour guide.

Our guide Jose Melo was excellent. Knew many facts about the island and flora. Well worth the cost. A full day including a delicious lunch
Catherine_W, Sep 2025
The views were amazing and we were taken to viewpoints we would not have reached on our own. Lunch was good too.
However as it was booked as an English tour, it was annoying how much time the guide spent speaking in Portugese to the one Portugese visitor, even though her English was excellent, and he didn't translate those conversations for the rest of us.

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.
Jenn_W, Jul 2025
We had such a great experience exploring the island with our guide João - he showed us various spots on the island including beautiful vistas, a great lunch, waterfalls, thermal pools and more. He personalized the tour for us and was super accommodating and flexible. We had a great experience!

You can expect great views, visit a pineapple farm and a ceramic factory.
Our tour guide Bruno was outstanding.
Cheryl_K, Nov 2024
I would give this zero stars if I could. The reason is that he was supposed to be picked up at our hotel at 9 AM. Leaving there about 840 when no one came by 9:15. He started to get concerned. I eventually reached by Viatour because I couldn’t get in touch with Green visions, which was the name of the tour company. Viator was also enabled to reach green visions. Nobody ever did show up Viator finally verified that we were not at fault and we were refunded our entire amount Paid. We lost a half a day. Luckily our hotel was able to book us a private afternoon tour and we were able to see almost all of what we were supposed to see on the tour we had booked if you requested me picked up at your hotel. Make sureThat it is going to happen if you use Green vision tours.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Goodnight.
The situation was as follows:
Your online reservation was scheduled but for some reason that we were unable to understand, your reservation was not in our bookings.
We apologize for what happened.
As soon as we become aware of the situation, we promptly refund your reservation. It was our company who made the refund and not the viator.
That day, our entire team was working outside the office and we were unable to answer your call.
This was an atypical situation because our company always honors its commitments and bookings, our reviews prove this.
Once again we apologize for the situation and inconvenience it may have caused.
Best regards,
Green Visions Tours

It was an amazing experience with an extremely knowledgeable and friendly host. Carlos was welcoming and went out of his way to make our tour memorable. There were four of us plus the host in the minivan which was air-conditioned and comfortable.
Our host Carlos knew exactly where to take us for the best views and the various attractions included in the tour. I would happily go with Green vision tours again.

Paul_R, Apr 2024
Tour guide was amazing, we had an incredible day with him. His knowledge of the Azores in general and Sao Miguel in particular with its landmarks, and scenic areas was unsurpassable. The island is beautiful. Lunch was included as well and he took us to a small family run restaurant and had an amazing meal of locally caught fresh tuna. I highly recommend!
EIDYXMARLENE_C, Apr 2024
Bruno was amazing, he gave a lot of information, we had enough time to enjoy all the stops and the lunch was very tasty. Full recommended.
Margaret_M, Feb 2024
Our guide, Hugo, is very knowledgeable about this island. He knows the history of the people, land and fauna. His passion and love of his home is obvious and gladly shared it with us.
Brenna_F, Jan 2024
We had an excellent time with Hugo on the full day tour around the island. Started around 9, ended around 5, and we got a lot done (Sete Cidades, Lagoa do Fogo, Praia Da Santa Barbara, Ilhéus dos Mosteiros, and a bunch of other small stops along the way). He’s very informative, well-spoken, and super nice. He has excellent English skills as well, if that’s a necessity. We highly recommend Hugo for tours on São Miguel!
STACY_S, Sep 2023
