Waterfalls and breathtaking views!

I was lucky enough to get a private tour with Artur who was a very informative and friendly guide who showed me such beautiful spots around the island including waterfalls, tea plantations and small villages besides breathtaking vistas high over the ocean. I highly recommend this tour!

Arthur was a fabulous guide. I had seen many places on other tours so he made sure I did not repeat any sites, creating a tour just for me! He is the best of Sao Miguel Island and genuinely a great person.
