The best tour guide Joao!!
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. This was perfect to customize to our own needs and the van was comfortable to fit 6 people. Joao was our guide and gave us amazing recommendations, showed us hidden gems and happily gave us background and history. You can tell how much he loves the island! Will always recommend him to anyone looking to have a private customized tour!

Casa Morturaria parking (inside joke)
When the day began we didn’t exactly know where we were going or what we would do. João picked us up and showed us more than we could have imagined. We spent the day seeing sights beyond b beautiful, laughing with João and learning about the land and culture. An outstanding tour with a relaxed schedule in an amazing land with a kind and witty guide. We had a perfect day!

Amazing intro to Sao Miguel!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Azores Hidden Tours! We booked a private two-day tour, with one day exploring the beautiful west coast of São Miguel and the second day discovering the incredible east side of the island. Both days were unforgettable!
João and his team were fantastic—so accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely eager to please. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, enjoying ourselves, and getting the most out of every stop. Having a private tour allowed us to experience the island at our own pace and discover some truly special places.
From the breathtaking scenery to the personalized service, everything was exceptional. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore São Miguel and would highly recommend Azores Hidden Tours to anyone visiting the Azores!
Thank you, João and team, for making our trip so memorable!

Fantastic tour with João!
We had a great full-day tour of the island with João. Very punctual pick-up and clean, modern vehicle and João was a fantastic, knowledgeable guide.
We first went to the east side of the island to Furnas to see the smoking caldeiras which was totally impressive! We ate sweetcorn that had been cooked by the heat coming from the earth and tasted the fresh volcanic waters directly from the rocks! João also kindly arranged an impromptu visit to the hot springs for us (not included in tour price, 17€ per person).
Then we went to the west side, stopping off at the tea plantation on route. It was a very cloudly day so views of Sete Cidades from the view points weren't really great, but it's weather so nothing you can do about that! But we had a nice lunch on on the banks of the lagoon and then went to some lovely swimming spots in the North-west of the island.
A totally great day out and totally recommended. João is an excellent guide and will make sure you have a good tour whatever the weather!

Outstanding experience, must do in the Azores
The island can be a bit challenging to drive around on your own. So getting a guide for at least a day is a must do item. We were so lucky to find our guide Joao for our family trip. My wife and I used his service on our first day along with our 6 and 14 year old kids. The only regret we have is that we didn’t book him multiple days. He put together an itenerary for our family that gave us a great tour of the island and interesting spots. The experience went perfect and he made changes if we requested anything specific. It was a custom tour that catered to what we wanted and at the pace we wanted to go. We often times try to get a guide for a day at new locations and this one was the best we have ever had. So kind and enthusiastic about the island. It really made for a comfortable experience. He even gave us great recommendations for the other days we were on the island including some great places to eat. Thank you for a great experience.

A magnificent experience for a whole day.
Our guide João provided us with a wonderful time during this day in the western part of the island of Sao Miguel. He adapted to our needs and requests, showed us the main highlights of this section of the island, and made excellent recommendations for restaurants during our stay. I highly recommend this guide and this tour. We were a group of 8 people and everyone loved it!
