Wonderful tour! Marco was very engaging and made sure we had a great day, despite the uncooperative weather. He shifted the itinerary as the day went on to give us the best sights and stops. The box lunch was delicious local bread and cheese. We had booked the 3 hour tour, and at the end, he offered for us to continue on, which we happily did. You won’t go wrong with this tour!
Thanks, Kathy, for your kind words. You were so kind an friendy to me, thanks for your company too.
Marco is extremely knowledgeable of the most beautiful sites on the island. And where weather made one area impossible to view, he would find alternate viewing to maximize your tour time.
Thanks Cynthia for your kind words, you were also very good company, thanks a lot
Great experience. Marco was so nice, I could not even get him to stop at the 3 hr point. He wanted to show us more and more. We ended up with 4.5 hrs on a 3 hr tour. He is so knowledgeable and his personality so pleasing. It was a joy to spend an afternoon with him seeing the most beautiful areas of the Azores. A+ in our book.

We had a wonderful day exploring Sao Miguel with Marco. He was very kind, engaging and knowledgeable and gave us a very personal tour. Marco not only provided a lot of interesting information about the history and geology of the island, but also provided tasty snacks and coffee for us along the way. The nice, sunny weather made the tour even more enjoyable. The views of the lakes and the green lovely landscape were fantastic. Highly recommended!

A perfect day with Marco. He was generous with his time, careful and very knowledgeable about history, culture and geology. He worked hard at giving us the best possible day.
