Amazing experience - Great trip. Highly recommend it. José is extremely knowledgeable and informative. Learned a lot about geography, flora, fauna and history. Really enjoyed that it was a Jeep ride as well.

Great trip on Sao Miguel - Spent the afternoon with Jose and despite the weather being cloudy we had a great time. We had already been on a few tours but had not been to this area yet. Jose took us on some back roads and his knowledge of the island is vast. He gave us a history lesson of the Azores which helped us to get a better understanding of what we’d seen this past week. Highly recommend spending a day with Jose to learn more about the island where he was born.

Spectacular tour with local expert - We loved our tour with Jose! He is an expert of Sao Miguel. We learned so much from him, from history to nature to geology, and got to see amazing sites along the way. I would recommend any tour with Jose, especially a full day if you have the time!

Great half day tour - We had José as a guide for the half-day tour who was excellent. He knows the Azores incredibly well, took care to ensure that we went at the right pace for our family of four and was expert at handing the jeep to get us to places that may otherwise have been difficult to reach! To top it off José helped us get a place at, and dropped us off at, a great restaurant. The scenery itself was stunning. Very much recommended and our thanks to José.

Give Carpe Diem Tours a try! - Tour guide Jose Maria Santos was an excellent host. His pride in his culture and sense of humor made the tour lighthearted and fun. The fog lifted just enough for us to view the spectacular Lagoa Do Fogo. We visited several swimming areas, including Praia De Santa Barbara Beach. Jose also brought us to a waterfall and a picnic site with fumarole cooking areas. There is so much you can learn about a place from a good tour guide that would be hard to know otherwise, including good restaurant recommendations. Our tour with Jose was time well-spent!

Great tour, perfect way to become familiar with the island. - Had a great tour, learned so much about the island; its history, culture and formation. Friendly and informative. We were able to enter areas that private vehicles were not permitted avoiding crowds and saving time.

Great tour! - This four-hour tour of São Miguel was a fantastic experience. The tour guide, José Santos, was exceptional and made the trip memorable. He had passion for the island and extensive knowledge about it, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed sharing the beauty and history of the island with me. The tour covered a wide range of sights, and I also learned a lot of history. José took the time to answer all my questions and also recommended some hidden gems.

Amazingly beautiful - Jose was very knowledgeable for every aspect of the tour. The views are breathtaking! Jose took us on routes that are definitely off the beaten track which made the tour very interesting. Fogo volcano is a must see and we would recommend this tour to everyone visiting Sao Miguel.
