We had an amazing experience on our tour. Our guide was wonderful-we learned a lot about the history and culture of Sao Miguel from him, and were able to see so much. It was truly a perfect way to explore the island. We would highly recommend!

Everything was well organized. Our tour guides were very knowledgeable about history of Azores, places to go, fun facts. We saw almost everything on the island within two days. We would recommend this tour to our friends and we will book another tour with this company when we are back on the island.

Die Tour mit Joao war top. Wir haben den Westen der Insel mit ihm erkundet. Er war höflich, sehr freundlich, meldete sich umgehend, als er wenige Minuten zu spät kam wegen eines Unfalls in Ponta. Er hat sich klasse um uns gekümmert. Die private Tour zu buchen hat sich sowas von gelohnt! Er hat beinahe jeden möglichen Aussichtspunkt mitgenommen, war sehr entspannt und es hat einfach riesen Spaß gemacht! Jede meiner Ideen hat er ernst genommen, möglich gemacht was ging und die Tour uns und dem Wetter angepasst. Danke für den tollen Tag!

Tivemos a sorte de ter a Andreia como guia na nossa viagem. Como "filha da terra", ela tem toda a história de São Miguel na ponta da língua e partilha o seu conhecimento com uma paixão contagiante. É uma pessoa super bem-disposta, simpática, acolhedora e sempre pronta para a aventura, sempre com um sorriso no rosto. Além de ser uma excelente e segura condutora, levou-nos a sítios imperdíveis: provámos o melhor Cozido das Furnas e a melhor sangria da ilha! Foi fantástica! 5 estrelas é pouco!
