This was a fantastic tour. Miguel was absolutely wonderful and informative. I liked everything about this tour. The food from the Furnas was delicious and to see how it was all done. The botanical garden was gorgeous and the hot springs! All the stops had beautiful views and the knowledge he shared with us was excellent

Just enought time to see everything on the way to Furnas. I just wished we would have dedicated time to visit the city itself.

Perfect

Loved this tour. Off the coast and into the main part of the island. The tea factory was very beautiful. The view of the caldera was breathtaking. The hot springs were refreshing. The traditional lunch was very good and it was so cool seeing it prepared!

Excellent

A nice day at Furnas visiting the many interesting sites, including the Coizido lunch and thermal spring experience at Terra Nostra. Travelled with a lovely group of other people and our guide was well versed in the areas we visited. Recommended to anyone visiting San Miguel island.
