Best Jeep tour ever - This was one of the best tours I have ever had in any country. Our guide was very knowledgeable and wonderful to learn from. My parents had been on a two week trip with multiple guides prior to this experience and said they learned more about the island in 4 hours on this tour than they had in the entire 2 weeks prior. We highly recommend this experience!

Loved this tour! - Such a great tour! I would highly recommend this. The views were amazing, it did not disappoint. The weather started out a little cloudy so (José?) took us a different route and by the time we hit the rim the sun was out.

Beautiful day! - I joined this tour in a private version because no other travelers had joined. The tour is very well organized and you can see many viewpoints. José tells the story of the island explaining with great patience and absolute competence the anecdotes and fun notions to discover. The places are magnificent, a postcard on every corner and Recommendation to everyone to have this experience that will surely remain in the heart of everyone!

Excellent tour with a knowledgeable guide - Loves this tour! Jose was an excellent guide, especially if you are the inquisitive type. My group loves nerding out about things and Jose knew so much about the islands. He told us about the history, plant life, the rocks, the birds.... pretty much everything. He was also super accommodating of any time we wanted to stop and take a picture. Would highly recommend this tour!

splendid way to see the beauty of Sete Cidades! - Awesome afternoon! It was just me. Got to stop and take photos where I wanted. The fog was strong but Jose navigated it as best he could so I still got some great views. Also, he squeezed in an hour long hike for me which was fab. He was kind enough to let me borrow his vest as I was ill-prepared for the wind. Stunning part of the island to visit! And we stopped in a cafeteria and I had a terrific pumpkin soup, pickled quail eggs, and a couple of local pastries. Highly recommend the adventure!

Best tour guide! - Jose our tour guide was absolutely amazing! He had so much knowledge to share about the history and the flora and fauna of the island. Even though it was a foggy day, we still had some beautiful views of the lakes and loved our tour from beginning to end. We want to come back again and do another tour with him for sure!

Great experience! - We had a great tour with Jose. Even though it was very foggy and we didnt get to see the views from the top of the crater, Jose took us to other places on the island that had great views. He was very informative about all sorts of topics from plants to wildlife to history, etc. The price was very reasonable and we felt we got our value. We would recommend Carpe Diem tours if you are visiting Sao Miguel.
