This was one of the best tours I’ ve been fortunate enough to experience. Many of the several stops along way could justify their own separate tour . Our guide Jaoa completed the experience by ensuring that we got the full benefit of each- best photos- and as a professional photographer he even willingly assisted in taking some if requested. Information on everything Azorean- flora, fauna, music, history, language,other activities and sights, recommendations, all were offered in an entertaining and compassionate manner with the safety of the group always being considered. Pride in everything good in the Azores, caring for people, and passion in ensuring everyone got the best experience on a long and packed tour all justify rating this 12 out of 10. It goes without saying that it was the best value for money also. I cannot recommend this tour enough.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and generous review. We’re thrilled to hear that João’s knowledge, passion and care helped you get the most out of such a full day, from the landscapes and local culture to the little details that make São Miguel special. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with João, and we truly appreciate your recommendation and your 12/10 rating!
The tour and the tour guide were great! The weather was nice and we were able to see most of the places clearly.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and had beautiful weather to take in the scenery and viewpoints along the way. It’s wonderful to know you had such a great experience with us!
We did the West Island tour with Manuel and it was a fantastic day. The timing was excellent, never rushing us but also never feeling like we spent too long anywhere. He provided lots of great information that helped us appreciate everything we were seeing. I would happily do this tour again.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Manuel’s knowledge and thoughtful pacing allowed you to enjoy the West Tour without ever feeling rushed. It’s fantastic to know that the experience helped you appreciate the places you visited, and we’d be very happy to welcome you back to São Miguel!
Our guide Manuel was excellent and took us to many very beautiful places. The tour was excellent but they should mention that there is a decent amount of walking and some climbing involved. As a senior with a cane, parts of the tour were quite difficult but I'm very happy I went. It helped that we had a great bunch of people. We had 8 different countries in the van (including the guide) out of 9 people.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Manuel helped make the day so memorable, despite some of the walking and climbing being challenging. We appreciate your feedback regarding the activity level and are very glad that you felt the experience was worthwhile. And what a wonderfully international group you had in the van!
Fantastic tour. Our guide - Manuel - was outstanding! Very knowledgeable. Answered all questions, gave a bunch of interesting facts. And he was quite personable.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Manuel’s knowledge, interesting facts, and friendly personality made the tour such a great experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and will be sure to share them with Manuel!
One of the best tours I've done. Pick-up & Drop-off was seamless right from hotel. Tour guide, Fraga, was knowledgeable, friendly and had all the local culture & reccs throughout the tour. Hit all of the highlights on Western San Miguel Island. Lunch was fantastic, authentic & plentiful. It was nice to get a classic local restaurant that was filled with mostly locals out of the city center.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Fraga’s local knowledge, recommendations, and friendly approach made the tour such a great experience. It’s also fantastic to know you enjoyed exploring the highlights of western São Miguel and appreciated the authentic local lunch. We’re very happy the pick-up and drop-off were seamless as well!
Absolutely amazing experience! My family and I went on the West tour and loved it so much we booked with Fraga again to see the East. You can tell how much he loves his homeland and we sure loved it as well. The van was comfortable and easy to get in and out. The views and food were unmatched!! Don’t miss out on this tour!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the West Tour so much that you decided to explore the East with Fraga as well. It’s lovely to know that his passion for São Miguel came through and that you enjoyed the comfort of the van, the scenery, and the food. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
We had the most incredible experience of the West tour with Fraga! He made us feel right at home and we learned all about the beauty of Sao Miguel. Recommend this 10/10.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Fraga made you feel right at home while sharing his knowledge and passion for the beauty of São Miguel. We truly appreciate your 10/10 recommendation and hope to welcome you back to the island someday!
Great experience with many scenic views along the west side. Our guide Manuel did a great job keeping us entertained with exciting information about the origin of the lakes, places and the island itself. If you are visiting ponta delgada solo or with partner/friends, then it is a must have tour. Lunch is included in the price which is a big plus.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring the west side of São Miguel and that Manuel’s knowledge and stories made the journey even more interesting. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the scenic views and traditional lunch as well. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
We booked a private tour for our family of six (including 2 young kids) and João was incredible. He was so accommodating and friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. João told stories that our kids loved, while making us laugh and having an answer to every question we asked. The van was so comfortable and safety is clearly a priority for this company (boosters required for kids under a certain height). An added bonus is that João is quite the photographer! Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that João made your private family tour so enjoyable, especially for the younger members of the group. It’s fantastic to know that you appreciated his knowledge, storytelling, photography, and attentive approach, as well as the comfort and safety of the experience. We truly appreciate your recommendation and will be sure to share your kind words with João!
