We recently enjoyed a two-day tour of San Miguel in the Azores, and it exceeded all our expectations. The island’s beauty is breathtaking, and every stop felt like a new discovery—from stunning viewpoints like Sete Cidades to the calming thermal waters of Furnas. What made the experience truly unforgettable was our guide, Diego. His knowledge of the island’s history, culture, and natural wonders was impressive, and he delivered it with so much passion. Diego had a genuine enthusiasm for showing us the hidden gems of San Miguel, and he tailored the tour to suit our interests. Whether it was sharing local stories or taking us to the best spots to avoid crowds, Diego made sure we got the most out of every moment. He was not only professional but also kind, patient, and thoughtful—always checking in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Diego’s love for the island was contagious, and by the end of the tour, we felt like we had gained a deeper connection to San Miguel thanks to him.

A Taste of San Miguel

This was our first time for the Azores and we had a great to-do list for the island of San Miguel. We were fortunate to have Diogo our first day and his father John on the second day. Both are knowledgeable about the island and both are fun! Needless to say, our list of sights was complete. We had the best Portuguese cooked dinner (lunch) and a buffet of traditional Azorean fish/meats. John even made a quick trip so that my wife could take a picture at her mother's childhood home (it was much closer to our hotel than we thought). Even so, it went beyond the scope of the tour and we are eternally grateful for his kindness. Abrigado Diogo & João!!!

2 day tour of São Miguel.

We cannot possibly express how wonderful this tour was. It was the best tour we’ve ever gone on. Joses was the best!!! Super knowledgeable and kind and fun to hang out with. We learned so much about this gem of an island. We saw amazing sites and had wonderful experiences and food and treats along the way. Best way to see the island right when you arrive so you can go back to your favorite spots. Can’t say enough of how great this was! Thanks for the experience!

Amazing Experience! Thank you Diogo and Jose!

Our two day trip around Sao Miguel was incredible! I can’t say enough good things about it. We booked the tour for myself (22) and my cousin. We did the tour on our first 2 days on the island which was great because it helped us to see everything, where things were, and what we wanted to go back to with the rest of our time. Diogo and Jose were our guides and they were incredible! They both knew absolutely everything about the island, the stops, and answered every question we had with fun and informative responses, they also provided recommendations of other things to do. This tour sees so much in 2 days, however we never felt rushed or like we had too little time. Both guides waited and adapted to allow the group to enjoy the trip and take it all the beauties it had to offer! We also stopped for delicious lunches! I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone no matter how long you are staying on the island. Thank you again to Diogo and Jose for an amazing 2 days!

2-day tour of São Miguel, Azores

This was an excellent trip, although the weather was poor for good views of the volcanos. The pace was slow, but we did not mind because it gave us plenty of time for birdwatching and photography. The lunch was excellent. Our guide/driver was great and took the time to answer all questions and to lead us on some walks in a huge park where we probably would have gotten lost on our own.
