Wonderful Way to Spend the Day! - Such a great day with our wonderful guide, João! While we had rented a car for our time on the island, so being driven to each location and provided with so much information about each place and the island was a welcomed break for us. Each place we visited was incredible and we were even able to fit in a cheese tasting at a local shop with their own cows. We had so much fun and learned a bunch, 10/10 recommend! Thank you, João!

Lunch and a view - Joaquim was AMAZING. So knowledgeable about the history, the flowers, really anything about the islands. It was an amazing way to spend the day. We would have never had these experiences if we tried to do all of it on our own. And the food. What can I say. Joaquim made sure our lunch in Furnas was a cultural experience.

Great family memories - We had such a great time! Our guide Joaquim was so knowledgeable about the island. We learned so very much. He truly made the trip a very memorable experience. From taking great family photos to helping my husband recreate some of his childhood memories of visiting Sao Miguel! The day flew by so fast because we were having so much fun! My two children (20 and 22) loved every minute of it. I highly recommend asking for Joaquim! He will make your trip unforgettable!

Furnas and Tea plantation tour - We had the pleasure of touring with Joaquim, and it was truly an outstanding experience. Joaquim was incredibly knowledgeable—not only about the history of the tea plantations, but also about the rich and fascinating history of the Azores islands. His passion for the region was evident in every story he told and every detail he shared. What really stood out was Joaquim’s kindness and his natural ability to connect with people. He made everyone feel welcome and comfortable, and he was always happy to answer questions and share recommendations. Beyond the tour itself, Joaquim provided fantastic suggestions for other activities to explore in the area, as well as excellent restaurant recommendations. One of the highlights was that Joaquim went above and beyond the planned itinerary, showing us even more of the area than expected. His generosity with his time and knowledge made this experience unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Joaquim to anyone visiting the Azores.

This is a very full day!... - This is a very full day! Nice combination of driving and stopping for activities. Gorgeous views, stellar food. The driver, Joe, was extremely kind and knowledgeable, but too chatty. A bit less input and more time for quiet and guests' questions would have been better. But overall an extremely special day.
