Our guide was very personable and had great knowledge of the area. The electric van was nice because was quiet and we all could hear what he was saying about the different destinations. This was a great way to see the island.

Our guide was very personable and had great knowledge of the area. The electric van was nice because was quiet and we all could hear what he was saying about the different destinations. This was a great way to see the island.
Nunu was an amazing guide and he showed us the most beautiful spots on the island! I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the best of the best of São Jorge. His english was also perfect, had a super clean van and answered any questions we had.
The tour guide yelled at my grandson for not enjoying the cheese shop we stopped at, we were told we would see the cheese being made and all we saw was cheese in plastic packaging. My grandson sat and looked uninterested and was verbally attacked by our tour guide. Then the rest of the tour we stopped on the side of the road in places we could've seen without a tour guide, we also went to a very dirty buffet.
Driver (Nuno) was nice, friendly and knowledgeable but he didn't have water bottles/water available to us which was rough on an 8+ hour tour. We are grateful he came out to Topo to pick us up, but this did significantly alter the itinerary which we weren't informed about in advance. As a result, we didn't see the church or Simao Dias natural pool which I was really looking forward to. Wasn't given the option to swim or even go down to another pool we looked at either (literally looked at from a view point--didn't come close). Overall good tour but wasn't as complete as advertised.
I had an excellent day with Tony from Barbosa Tours who was the executor of the trip in my case. Despite the weather had the best day and can highly recommend him!
We had Nuno as the guide, and he showed as much of his island as he could. Unfortunately the weather didn't play along well, so that we missed some views of the north side of the island. The south was very nice though, the cheese tasting and the Sao Jorge coffee being highlights. Some places like the Parque do Sete Fontes even benefited from the misty atmosphere. Other than that Nuno patiently explained and answered questions. He gave us nice memories of the island. Very convenient that he picked us up directly at our hotel.
Our driver and guide was sensational. He brought us very much closer to the island. Showed us places we hadn't seen before. Could answer all the questions. The driver was very careful and safe. The ride was very versatile and exciting.
My wife and I took this tour for our honeymoon. Derek was an awesome tour guide. A local who lives there, so he knows the island well. The views were beautiful. The best part was that Derek adapted the tour to our needs. The most fun part was when he were given free time to snorkel in a beautiful natural pool. It was so cool! We saw a lot of fish, and were surrounded by lava rock. A very memorable time
Well organized tour. Pass through the established points and with an adequate explanation. Without a doubt, an excellent option for those who want to visit S Jorge. If you want other trips, Land Tours also organizes tours and hikes - contact us.
Fabulous tour guide and experience. Gorgeous views, great conversations, and coffee and cheese were just some of the highlights. Thank you for a lovely day and many memories.
