Amazing Tour, would book again - We will talk about this tour for years to come and book a tour with Jose whenever we return to the Azores. Jse's knowledge of the island and flora and fauna is unmatched. He never rushed us at any location and our tour ran well over which was so nice. The thermal baths, tea house and lunch was exceptional. If you want to learn about the island and see sites you won't get anywhere else, you must book this tour!

Amazing all day tour with knowledgeable guide. Jose is very passionate ate about the Azores and a nature guide - Jose is the most informative, insightful guide we have ever traveled with. He is a naturalist and he could tell us scientific names of plants to how to save certain birds because he has done it so many times. He could pull out the bird sound recording and my oldest got a kick out of it mimicking the sound. He is born and raised in the island and you can tell he loves the island and every aspect of it. He keeps both adults and kids (7 and 4) as engaged as possible. Our 4 year old ran up to him to show him the obsidians he found. They asked him questions and had lots of conversations. We can ask for a better guide.

100% recommend! - Amazing experience! Joseph was so knowledgeable and attentive. We learned a lot about Azorean history & had a great time seeing all the sights. This full day tour helped us see so much - if we would’ve tried to do this on our own it would’ve taken 3 days & we still wouldn’t have gotten a fraction done that we did. 100% recommend!

Wonderful experience - full day tour - Great way to spend the day in Sao Miguel! Jose was our guide and was an incredible wealth of knowledge. His enthusiasm for the island, it’s history, culture and nature made the tour even more special. The tour was well paced, we covered a lot of ground but it wasn’t overwhelming. Had a super lunch and were extremely comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommend Jose as a guide - I am sure all of his tours are wonderful.

Unforgettable experience! - I booked this tour with my mother. We were initially a little concerned that my mother would not be able to keep up due to her advanced age and mobility limitations. We were so blessed to have José as our guide, He took such good care of my mom to ensure she could see everything. And he was so patient and compassionate! My mother is so appreciative. This tour was wonderful. We could not have seen these places without José and he was very knowledgeable about the history, nature and geography. I can write an entire novel about all the wonderful things we did, but that would take too long. Overall. I highly recommend this tour and guide! Thanks José :-)

Highly Recommend! - What a fantastic day! Highly recommend! Jose took us all over beautiful Sao Miguel Island. His love for his home was evident and he shared many unique things about the Azorean way of life. I would love to do the whole thing all over again (but maybe with less rain, ha ha). Thank you Jose!

Great Guide - Amazing Experience - Jose is an outstanding local guide. His in-depth knowledge gave us insight into the history, culture and wonderful nature of Sao Miguel. We explored the Furnas area and had amazing time experiencing the thermal pools, tasting cozido cuisine and sampling tea and mineral doing waters. Thank You Jose for a memorable day!
