This is the second time we have gone on this tour in three years. We really think it is a great tour and lots of fun and a wonderful way to see so much for a very short period of time. The guys are really making an effort to personalize the tour and give you information about the Island. I'd recommend it again -we thought Carlos was fabulous and we had such a fun time with him.
Thank you so much, Virginia, for choosing us again! It truly means a lot to welcome returning guests, and we’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour just as much the second time. We’re especially happy that Carlos helped make the experience fun and personalized while sharing information about the island.

Great experience! A pleasurable tour with many fascinating things to see. My favorite was the Crater volcano and hot springs. Well worth the trip to visit a natural wonder and our tour company provided the opportunity and more.
Thank you for your fantastic review! 😊 We're delighted you had a great experience and enjoyed the crater volcano and hot springs — they truly are natural wonders. It’s wonderful to know the tour met your expectations. We hope to welcome you back to São Miguel again!
Our operator skipped 3 of the stops on the tour. It was also only about 3:30 long and included approx 40 people. There was no customization only a bunch of driving in a bus. There were multiple complaints by those of us traveling but the operator just said the description wasn’t supposed to include that. Contacted Viator for a partial refund and they gave nothing. I will no longer use Viator since they don’t stand behind the tours they offer.
Hi Steve, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that the tour was conducted as planned, with all main highlights included. The visit to Parque Terra Nostra is optional and not included in the base tour price, and on this day it was not carried out due to timing and group logistics. To enhance the experience, we included additional stops at no extra cost, such as: Santa Iria viewpoint A local cheese tasting experience Regarding group size, the tour operated with approximately 30 participants, due to a high volume of cruise passengers on that day. We always strive to deliver a complete and enjoyable experience, and we regret that it did not fully match your expectations.
We signed up for a small group private tour and got stuck on a bus tour with more than 30 people. There were 5 stops scheduled we only made three of them. Definitely disappointed and very mislead by operator.
Hi Leon, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that this tour is not a private tour, but a shared shore excursion, as indicated in the product description. On the day of your tour, due to a high volume of cruise passengers, the experience was operated in a larger group format (approximately 30 guests). However, the main highlights of the itinerary were completed. The visit to Parque Terra Nostra is optional and not included in the base tour price, and depends on timing and group logistics. To enhance the experience, we included additional stops at no extra cost, including Santa Iria viewpoint and a local cheese tasting. We regret that the experience did not fully match your expectations and appreciate your feedback.
What we got of the tour was terrific. But we were promised a visit to the Parque Terra Nostra and we were told that it was not covered as part of the tour even though it clearly was. We chose this for the 3 highlights of tea plantation, Furnas (also never got to see where they cook the food) and hot springs. Very disappointed to be told things were included when they clearly were not.
Hi Lori, Thank you very much for your feedback, and we’re really glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour overall. We would like to clarify that the visit to Parque Terra Nostra is optional and not included in the base tour price, as indicated in the tour description. Entrance requires a separate ticket and depends on timing and group logistics on the day. Regarding Furnas, the visit to the cooking area can also depend on timing and operational conditions, especially on busy cruise days. On this particular day, due to high demand, the tour operated in a larger group format. However, all main highlights were covered, and we also included additional stops at no extra cost, such as: Santa Iria viewpoint A local cheese tasting experience We always aim to provide the best possible experience and appreciate your feedback.
