Amazing views of sete cidades. - Pedro was an amazing guide and was super thoughtful and knowledgeable. He genuinely wanted us to get the most out of our experience and we worked around the weather and different areas to get some amazing views. He is super passionate about his island and it shows in the information he shares. The whole team was amazing and coordinated as there was a big group of us and so accommodating. These land rovers were so fun to get around in. Highly recommend this group for tours when visiting !

Half Day Jeep Tour with Four Kids - We did the half day Sete Cidades Jeep tour with Pedro today and it was amazing. We were two adults and four kids and all the kids loved it.
Pedro was such a patient and helpful guide especially with the kids. They had a blast and he was a difference maker.
The off road jeep ride up the mountain was such a great experience.
Thanks so much Pedro for a memorable experience.

Sete Cidades - We had a great time with Ricardo. He was knowledgeable and engaging. ,However, the Jeep was a little too small for 7 people. My 24 and 22 year old are broad shouldered and it wasn’t comfortable for them

Definitely Recommend! - My husband and I recently went on a half-day Jeep tour with Sergio around the Sete Cidades. Sergio was knowledgable about the Azores and had a contagious positive energy - which helped made our experience amazing!

A few clouds don’t ruin a tour when the guide is great! - The day of this tour started out overcast and a bit drizzly which didn’t bode well for seeing the two lakes at the top of the crater. However you learn quickly on Sao Miguel that can change quickly so off we went!
We set off in what could be described as an antique “jeep” - don’t get me wrong it was fully functioning - but this vehicle was made for the off road experience and that’s exactly what we got. Our guide made a point of taking more scenic routes, one that a typical rental car would not fair well on (even if you could find them in a map!). For me this enhanced the experience immensely bumps and all.
Everyone knows that the quality, knowledge and experience of a guide can make or break a tour. Our guide for the half day was Eduardo Pereira. His knowledge of the island, from the history, the flora and fauna to the best restaurants depending on what you are hungry for (fish, steak and Pizza!) was amazing. More importantly his passion for the island, and joy he gets in sharing it with his guests is easily felt.
Ultimately nature was not on our side this day for the views because of the low cloud cover, but for me that in no way diminished my overall experience. Eduardo showed us so many
sights and shared more details on all that we saw that it more than made up for any lack of views.
Thank you Greenzone Tours and Eduardo for a great experience.

Don't Recommend Green Azores - We hired two jeeps for a group of 10 people. One of the guides drove really bad and we got afraid of riding with him. We split the group between the other jeep and a rented car. The company didn't apologise nor refunded what we paid for the jeep...
