West tour of Sao Miguel - It was a wonderful day. All the sights were stunning. Lunch was fun and delicious. Marcia was a great guide, informative and funny. People should be aware that the walk to the best sight of Sete Cicades was a little bit taxing

Perfect Route, Knowledgeable Guide: A Must-Try Azores West Tour - It was a really wonderful experience. The route was perfectly designed, covering all the highlights of the west and gave us chances to walk around and connect with nature. I was lucky to have good weather for a clear view of the volcanic lake in January, and equally lucky to have João as my tour guide. He explained the island’s history and hidden stories behind the scenery all along the way, and played traditional Azorean music in the car to amp up the vibe. The noon buffet was tasty with plenty of choices. 10/10 Recommend!

So worth it! - My husband and I visited the Azores on our honeymoon and we are so glad we did this tour! Joao was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and super friendly! The tour was so worth it, the food was amazing. We loved seeing all the points of interest! We did the East tour as well, and combined with staying in the walkable center of Ponta Delgada, we did not rent a car but still felt like we got a great experience of the island.

Tour of the verdant island - Had a wonderful time touring this green island. Lunch buffet was fantastic. I tried...but not once could stump our wonderful guide, Katia, who turned out to be a walking encyclopedia of the Azores. Obrigado!

Amazing experience in Seven Cities with Mr. John - Today’s tour of the Seven Cities and the lagoons was an excellent experience. Mr. João demonstrated great professionalism, punctuality and knowledge about the history, nature and curiosities of the places visited. All along, he was very attentive, explaining each point clearly and always available to clarify doubts. The visit was well organized, with enough time to appreciate the landscapes and take photos (although a little rain was already planned), making the tour even more enjoyable. I highly recommend the tour with Mr. John who wants to know the Seven Cities and the lagoons in a quiet, informative and safe way.

Good tour and nice guide - Very good tour, guide is really good. Lunch is included and reasonable. Sights are very good. Of course, weather is a big factor but that has nothing to do with the tour

Guide made the best out of the situation - Our guide Daniel was really good and really patient, he did the most out of the tour even with the bad weather conditions. He tried to accommodate additional activities to compensate the weather but still manage to show essence of the town.

Great guide weather did not help - Daniel did everything that he could to show us Sete Cidades, unfortunately the weather did not help a lot, but he tried to add spots and small activities to still show the heart of the city.
