Fun off roading Cicidades rim trail. Great views - Great tour for 3 of us. Picked up from our hotel. Travelled in a Land Rover Defender. Our guide, Marciel (?) was friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a really great trip out.
Anyone who doesn’t travel well should prepare for a bumpy off road experience but we loved it 👌

Best tour ever! - That was the best tour I have ever taken. The island was beautiful. Rodrigo was the smartest tour guy I have ever taken a tour with this was a great tour! we saw cete Cidades from top to bottom. We got all the best lookout spots. Our tour guides let us spend extra time where we wanted and even took us to an extra lookout spot. We felt like we were on a tour with a good friend by the end. I highly recommend the tour.

A trip around the ridge from the volcano. - We took the trip with Pedro. He took us all around the ridge from the Volcano and we got to see the seven beautiful lakes, but only four exist now because three dried out and four were left. We went all around the crater Ridge. It was absolutely beautiful. He took us to his private places that he thought was absolutely beautiful and they were. The hydrangeas are beautiful and the cows.

Wonderful private tour with Eduardo - We did a 3-hour private tour of the Sete Cidades area with Eduardo Pereira, our driver. Eduardo was so knowledgeable about the island and the areas we drove through. While we had a foggy day, Eduardo still found routes to drive along that were beautiful. We had a wonderful time. Eduardo even provided excellent restaurant advice, and made a reservation for us for that evening. I would highly recommend this experience.

Loved this Tour and Learned Much - We did this half day Jeep tour with another couple with Ricardo as our guide to start off our Sao Miguel visit and had a great experience. He provided us with a good understanding of the culture, history, economy, etc... with a great, personalized commentary. He was really friendly and nice and took such great photos of us. The lakes our breathtaking and the village was pretty great as well.
Definitely worth it!

Highly recommended - Would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone! We were visiting São Miguel with family and Daniel C. was an absolutely phenomenal tour guide. The weather was not in our favor that day, so the views were not as great as they could have been, but this tour was still the highlight of our week. Daniel is incredibly knowledgeable and taught us so much about the Azores. Don't hesitate to book a tour, but make sure you ask for Daniel.
