Loved the tour with... - Loved the tour with Catia! She was knowledgeable about our various stops, and offered lots of additional information about the Azorean people and their history. Her knowledge of the flowers/plants and geological events that helped formed these beautiful islands was impressive! When you take the tour ask her about the famous musicians from Portugal and specifically, the Azores!

A must do when in the Azores - This tour is great to learn about the island and has lots of photo opportunities throughout. Goncalo (G) is a funny guy and a very good inclusive guide.

Cloudy Day Can't Dampen Good Spirits - The tour of the Western part of Sao Miguel was excellent. Though it was a cloudy, misty day and views of some of the stops was difficult, Manuel did an great job of sharing history and stories and keeping the tour interesting and worthwhile. Even with what we did see, I would highly recommend for those who want a taste of the island outside Ponta Delgada.

Secret spot - Manuel was wonderful and knowledgeable. He showed his passion for this island and all it offered. It was so important to him to see the area and when the weather did not cooperate he brought us to a ‘secret’ spot that was just as amazing. Thank you for being a fabulous guide.

More awe & wonder on the West Coast - We had a wonderful excursion with Manuel. He promptly picked us up and we headed towards Ribeira Grande with a little detour to Santa Barbara beach. Manuel shared his knowledge and explained all about the volcanoes in a clear and understandable way. Manuel went out of his way to make sure we could observe the twin lakes … we waited for clouds to pass while he explained the geological features of the lakes to us. Lunch was a delicious buffet with a fantastic sea view - Manuel managed to make the walk from the carpark to the restaurant memorable too! We ended our day at Mosteiros where we had the opportunity to search for lava stones. We would definitely recommend this trip to all and if you are lucky enough to have Manuel as your guide your in for an extra special experience.
