What a Day of Beauty! - We had a very special day with Jose. We spent 8.5 hours seeing all of the beauty that Sao Miguel has to offer. Jose has lived here all his life and is a wealth of knowledge on the whole area. This tour was the highlight of our trip!

An amazing day around Sao Miguel - We booked this tour as a family (all adults) for our last day on the island & it was the perfect ending for our stay. Our guide José was amazing, he was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the islands, the plants & birds around us, and the geology of the land. He also chose the perfect view points for every place we visited. We would definitely join José on other trips if we ever go back to Sao Miguel.

An amazing day around Sao Miguel - We booked this tour as a family (all adults) for our last day on the island. Our guide José was the perfect guide. He picked us up on time, and he proceeded to explain about the history of the island. He was extremely knowledgeable about all topics from history to the geology of the land to the plants around the island. We loved the day, the views were amazing, and José was an exemplary guide. We would definitely go on other trips with him if we ever come again to Sao Miguel.

Incredible private tour! - Jose was a phenomenal tour guide! We learned so much about the islands and their history, the plant and animal life, and general culture of the Azores. The views were stunning, and as a licensed tour guide, Jose had access where others didn’t. It was so nice being on a private tour where we could take our time, and Jose really listened and catered to our interests. If you have a day on Sao Miguel, we would highly recommend this tour! It is a long day, but the experience of a lifetime!

We had an incredible tour... - We had an incredible tour with Jose! The listing was accurate and we were able to see even more than what was listed. This was our favorite excursion in the Azores and a fantastic way to see Sao Miguel island. Jose is an awesome guide and has a great read on people to give the proper level of information/detail depending on their interests and he's a pleasure to spend time with. It is truly difficult to say exactly what was our favorite part of the tour. Jose was prompt in the morning and the vehicle was clean/roomy for a group of 4. We spent the early part of the day driving around one caldera to various view points and learning all about the island. Lunch was incredible and Jose joined us and taught us about local cuisine. Jose let us walk around a bit independently by a lake after lunch to relax and take in some views along with little stops to explore various parts of the island. Can't say enough about Jose and the overall experience - 10/10 and would absolutely recommend booking this for your visit.
