Gonçalo was the best guide we’ve ever had. His ability to add family and community references to different areas and sights made the tour like a fun family road trip complete with laughter and even singing.
Everything was wonderful on this tour! Our guide Gonçalo was on time for the pick up and an excellent driver, friendly and informative with some humor and great music. All the sights were fantastic! We were not rushed and spent the whole day together…some of us became friends and shared contact info. Gonçalo also gave me some suggestions for another island I was heading to. Highly recommend!!!!

It's especially rewarding to hear that the group had such a great time together and that new friendships were made along the way. Creating memorable experiences is exactly what we strive for.

A tour to discover the most volcanic side of the island. We had time to bathe in the hot springs, explore the Terra Nova botanical garden, eat the famous stew, visit the tea plantations, enjoy viewpoints, and much more. Our guide Enrique was very attentive.

Excellent tour. Beautiful scenery. Pedro our tour guide was wonderful- seamlessly switching between English and Spanish Lunch was delicious and SO much food!
Henrique from Azores Dream Tours went above and beyond for our family. We were with him all day and he made sure we enjoyed every minute of the excursion. Our young girls enjoyed listening to him. He found ways to engage them, and we saw the most gorgeous spots while also learning so much.
On November 8 and 9, 2024, we went on a tour of the island of São Miguel, guided by an excellent professional, Henrique Damião, an excellent communicator with a lot of knowledge about the entire history of the island as well as extreme care with all of us. It was an incredible experience that we recommend to everyone who belongs to know the island. Ana Claudia, Paula N., Paula R., Vera, Lurdes, Sandra, Rosa.
I would recommend this tour to anyone. Pedro, our guide, did an awesome job explaining and showing us around the island. Excellent customer service and good laughs.
So enjoyed opportunity to meet people who shared great experiences such as counting 2000 curves on the winding roads to spectacular views, lakes, oceans and tea plantations all over this beautiful island
São Miguel is beautiful island and you can see amazing places on this tour, you can also buy local tea in tea plantation and to see a lot of hydrangeas and other nice plants. Highly reccommended.
