Half day tour of Sao Miguel. - Six of us booked a four hour custom made tour. Sam speaks perfect English and was very knowledgeable. The vehicle was clean and comfortable.
All of us really enjoyed the tour of this beautiful island and would thoroughly recommend Sam's tours.

Fantastic, thank you Sam - Was a great experience. Loved Furnas and tea plantation. We went with Sam and he was exceptional. So knowledgeable, professional, personable and extremely accommodating. Best tour and experience during our Azores trip.

One of the best tours we have ever taken!!! - This tour was incredible!!! Samuel was so accommodating - we didn't have a ton of time in port (we were on a transatlantic cruise), so he was waiting for us when we walked off the ship. He was so communicative with us ahead of time (even over the weekend as we visited on a Sunday). As we didn't want to get in the hot springs, we got more time at the tea plantation, stopped at some amazing viewpoints, and walked around the town of Furnas. We loved not being on a group tour - we got as much time to shop or explore as we wanted instead of being on someone else's timeline.
We stopped in Furnas for some liqueur tasting - one of the few souvenirs we brought home! Our 5.5-year-old son was so intrigued by the island, the cows, the hot springs, the volcano, and Samuel was so patient with him & answered his endless questions. Our son loved trying the água azeda in Furnas!
Samuel was so patient & understanding with my dad's mobility too (he has had 4 major back surgeries) - he would drop us off and he walked at Dad's pace.
We loved learning more about the Azores Islands, as it was our first time visiting. We can't wait to come back and stay for a longer period - our first call will be to Samuel to set up some longer tours and hikes!!! We saw some amazing cities on our cruise, but we all agreed that Ponta Delgada was our favorite port. We attribute that to this incredible tour with Samuel!!!

Interesting, fun tour for ages 5-75! - This tour was excellent!!! Sam is a very easy going, intelligent guide. He interacted wonderfully with our 5.5 year old and kept us all entertained. He was able to accommodate an earlier pickup due to our limited time in port. We loved having a private tour and hire Sam when we come back!!!

A fantastic half day event and a brilliant tour guide - A great morning excursion. Our driver and guide, Samual, was really good. He was fun, friendly, entertaining and knew answers to everything we asked. A very professional guide indeed. The sights we saw were truly memorable and the trip to the fumeroles in Furnas was fantastic and so interesting. I would highly recommend this outing and anything else done by our guide.

Amazing tour and fantastic tour guide, Samuel! - We were visiting Sao Miguel on an anniversary trip and went on the half day Furnas tour with Samuel without having any real idea what we were going to see. It was even better than we could have imagined. We stopped a few times on the way to Furnas and leaned about the island, some
History, etc. The highlight was the hot springs and botanical garden, which we will definitely return to someday, and seeing the Calderas area. Highly recommend for an enjoyable tour!!! Would absolutely use Green Corner Tours again!

Awesome 2 tours with Green Corner Tours - It was a fantastic morning with our tour guide, Samuel. He was so efficient, yet laid back, as he planned our tour to Furnas, the tea plantation, and hot springs. We learned a lot about the island from him - who better than from a native of the Azores, right? He was attentive to our needs the whole time, finding the best picture spots, checking if we need a restroom or water, and more. He offered to snap our family photos, using different photo and video modes and features. He was so good at taking panoramic photos that we called them the “Sam Special”. We enjoyed this tour so much that we booked another tour with him a couple of days later called The Moinho do Felix hike. As we hiked through nature, we saw 3 beautiful waterfalls, the north coast, green valleys, and an old water mill. Another MUST see tour with Samuel. We made lots of memories here in Sao Miguel - thanks for that and for the laughs as we shared our corny jokes, Sam!

Highly recommended - Great tour of the island with Samuel, he was very friendly and informative. We learnt a lot about the local agriculture and geography and he took us to some very interesting places and some stunning viewpoints.
We would definitely recommend Green Corner tours for anyone visiting the island.

A garden in middle of Atlantic - Furnas it is indeed a special place on this planet. Furnas crater, where you will see the beautiful lagoon and you will also have the chance to bathe yourself in the hot thermal waters of Furnas specially will feel much better if is winter time. The landscape it is indeed amazing not only furnas but the entire island S.Miguel it is really beautiful. I had been in New Zealand and visited the Hobbit village were they record the movie and they could have done it also in S Miguel island very similar landscape and very very green too. Recomended
