OMG our tour was just amazing! Our tour guide Joao picked us up at a pre arranged location holding a sign with my name on it! Hid van was spotlessly clean. Joao spoke perfect English and told us many many stories along the way. Touring was so much better than the large busses I saw a long the way with 80 people on board.
Make sure you book this trip in the Azores!

Exceeded all expectations
I'm going to say that as independent travelers we rarely take tours, but the weather wasn't good, we didn't want to rent a car and we only had a few days before leaving the island. The weather improved and we booked this tour at the last minute.
Best decision ever. There's no way we could have made the effort to see all these places without exploding in a week, let alone a day.
We were met at our agreed meeting point at the agreed time and after that we were entirely in the hands of our guide, which made for a totally stress-free day.
The mini van was modern, air-conditioned and the maximum group size is 8 people.
We had a lovely mix of people, but there was also plenty of opportunity to spend time away from the group if you wanted to.
Our guide/driver was a lovely young man who clearly knew his stuff, gave us choices along the way and never rushed us.
We've been to San Miguel before and this was our third visit. This tour took us to places we'd never seen before and each stop was impressive and extremely interesting with someone who could explain and point out what and why.
Lunch at Furnas was something I wanted to try and we weren't disappointed. The walk through the various boilers and drinking spouts was incredible and a unique experience.
The waterfalls and the surrounding park were amazing and a walk in the Terra Nostra Park, followed by a dip in the hot pool, which was the most beautiful.
Great tour, very informative and a great value. I would book with this tour company every time I come visit. Joao from igoazores is awesome. Thank you

Lovely, despite the fog
We appreciated the wonderful tour our guide provided, despite the foggy weather! We really enjoyed getting to know the island from a resident with such great pride in the community in which he lives. You will not be disappointed if you select this tour1
