Experience first-hand the natural beauty, the variability of the weather, the blooming days of the season, and the professional sharing of guides.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that, despite the weather, the tour became such a memorable experience. It’s great to know you enjoyed walking through the Japanese cedar forest, admired the beautiful hydrangeas in bloom, and were amazed by São Miguel’s dramatic cliffs. We’re also very happy that the guide's professionalism and friendly personality made the day even more enjoyable. Thank you for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you back again!
We did this tour in addition to the East island tour and we would absolutely recommend both. We were so fortunate as the conditions were favourable and we got fantastically clear views of the green and blue lakes. Marcio was brilliant and a lot of fun and he took us to lots of places of interest and we loved the variety of what we saw - the beautiful coastline, extinct volcanoes and lakes as examples. We were only on Ponto Delgada for 3 days and we felt that we got to see all the main sights and Marcio took great care of us. It was nice that lunch was also included. We would absolutely recommend this and the East tour too with Pure Azores. The vehicle was so comfortable and new - an excellent tour.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed both the West and East tours and that the weather gave you those beautiful clear views of the Green and Blue Lakes. It’s wonderful that Márcio helped make the experience so memorable and that you were able to see so much of São Miguel during your stay. We truly appreciate your recommendation of both tours and of Pure Azores.
Great trip with excellent Joao))) We were lucky with weather and absolutely beautiful spots picked by our guide. Highly recommended!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you had such a great day with João and that you were able to enjoy the beautiful spots around the island. We’re especially happy the weather was on your side! Thank you for your recommendation, we truly appreciate it.
An excellent tour. Though the weather was not ideal, Joao’s knowledge of Sao Miguel was exceptional. He was able to reorganize the tour on the fly ensuring that we got to see the most fantastic views.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear you had such a great experience with João. It’s fantastic to know his knowledge and flexibility allowed you to make the most of the day despite the weather, ensuring you could still enjoy the island’s stunning views. We truly appreciate your kind words!
It was a rainy, overcast, foggy type of day , which couldn’t be helped. cathia , our tour guide, the expert that she is , rearranged the day according to how the weather was going — and it turned out just fine ! A little rain , a little fog, but we were able to see beautiful sceneries! It was a very fun day! I forgot to give Cathia her tip for being so wonderful ! If anyone knows her number, pls message me! :)
Thank you for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear that despite the weather, you still had a fun day and were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Katia will be very happy to know her effort in adapting the tour made a difference. Regarding your tip for Katia, of course you can send us a message or email and we will be happy to make sure it reaches her.
Joao was a wonderful guide. Funny, and educational. Also a great driver. The tour was lovely, hitting lots of spots in the west. We got cloudy weather on higher elevations spots, but that's not knock on the tour itself. Lunch was amazing with tons of variety, and a surprise because I assumed we were only getting a sandwich. Will definitely travel with them again
Thank you for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour with João and that his knowledge, energy, and humor made the experience so memorable. It’s great that you also enjoyed the lunch and the overall day, despite the cloudy weather. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again!
Saw a wonderful selection of different sights, with a highly informative and fun guide … Joao … and a great lunch too. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the variety of sights, the informative and fun experience with João, and the great lunch. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
The weather was terrible on the day that we went so we were unfortunately not able to see half of the scheduled stops including the lagoa de fogo. However, Daniel our tour guide was fantastic and tried to make sure we got the most out of our tour and even took us to one extra stop to see a waterfall to compensate for all the missed stops. Lunch was good as well with a lot of variety. It’s a good tour but make sure you pick a sunny day when you go!
Thank you for your review. We’re sorry the weather affected your experience and that some stops, including Lagoa do Fogo, couldn’t be visited. We always aim to adapt the itinerary when conditions are challenging, and we’re glad Daniel did his best to make the day enjoyable with an extra stop and good alternatives. It’s also great to hear you enjoyed the lunch. We truly appreciate your feedback!
Really good tour of the best viewpoints on the west of the island. Marcio was an excellent guide and full of energy. Nice lunch at a traditional Azorean restaurant. The weather was poor in the morning but cleared up later and we were able to see most of the views.
Thank you for your great review. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the West tour and that Marcio’s energy and knowledge helped make the experience even better. It’s great that you were still able to enjoy the views despite the weather, and we appreciate your feedback!
The tour covered a lot of area. The guide was very informative. Unfortunately for my tour day the weather was awful. Very foggy in the higher elevations so we missed some of the viewing points.
Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and found the guide informative. We’re sorry that the weather conditions prevented you from fully enjoying some of the viewpoints at higher elevations. Unfortunately, the weather in the Azores can be quite unpredictable, but we always do our best to make the most of the day and showcase the island’s beauty whenever possible. We appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoyed the experience overall!
