Fantastic tour, knowledgeable guide - This tour was wonderful. Our guide Andre was from the island, extremely knowledgeable about everything related to the Azores (and so many other things!). He made the tour fun and interesting. This excursion was the highlight of our Azores trip and we feel very lucky to have Andre as our guide. Don't hesitate to book this excursion!

Great tour to see highlights on São Miguel! - Andreas was full of information about all of the stops on this tour. He was able to answer all of our (and the others guests) questions. He brought us to a beautiful picture point to see islet vila do campo and at the end brought us to the top of the volcanic crater (about 2000 meters up). This allowed us to see all of the Furnas (including the church that we stopped at earlier that day) in a whole new way. He was very very articulate with explaining the process for both the tea and the pineapple plantations. This tour was a good balance (about 50/50) of structured group time and independent time to explore the stops.

Great San Miguel Trip - Our guide, Andre, was fantastic. The time spent in and around Furnas was the best part of the trip. Second best was the pineapple plantation.

Best way to see the Island! - Mario was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited. The Furnas were our favorite. We enjoyed watching the stew being made in the Furnas, then eating it for Lunch! The tea plantation was awesome, too!
