Best way to see San Miguel - The 4x4 tours are the best way to see a complete cross section of San Miguel in an efficient (also very fun) day. Mariano, our guide, was both entertaining and knowledgeable!

Fantastic day with Vasco - Phenomenal day with Vasco. We had some places we wanted to go and Vasco completed the itinerary perfectly. The weather was not perfect but the hot springs were fantastic. Vasco has a lot of cultural and historic knowledge and drove us very carefully. I recommend this tour.

5 Star review for a brilliant guide! - We had scheduled Vasco for 2 days and asked him to provide a third because we had such an amazing time. He's a college educated native Azorean who can speak about the history, the geography, geology, flora and fauna, local business practices, best places to eat, and even politics. Because of his vast knowledge on such a variety of levels, we had an incredible vacation and experienced so much more than we would have on our own or with another tour. We did have another private tour two of the other days and they were good, but Vasco was exceptional. The jeep allowed us to see things from perspectives that only hikers could have gotten to see. The best part was that we didn't need to plan out the day. We mentioned the pineapple plantations and he took us to one he worked at. He knew everyone at the tea plantation, the porcelain factory and every restaurant we went. He personalized our tour and navigated the ever changing weather so we saw the absolute best of this spectacular island. Can't recommend strongly enough!
