What a fantastic day. Weather wasn’t great but that’s normal. We still saw all the wonderful sights. Our driver and guide Melissa was so knowledgeable and easy to talk too. Booked it last minute without any trouble and all sorted via email and WhatsApp. Paid when we met the driver. No issues at all
Highly recommend this company

Gorgeous views and great service!
The views on this tour were breathtaking! The tour guide was so great, very knowledgeable and very friendly! He spoke six different languages and was committed to ensuring we saw all the views! We traveled with two young children and they had the best time! From the amazing views of said Sete Cidades, the gorgeous beaches, and the knowledge of the tour guide the tour was everything we hoped it would be and more! Definitely a must do tour! Also, the van was super clean!
