The trip you must have - I took this tour on the 24th of December and had the luck of having João as tour guide. He was more than invested in making the experience the best we’ve ever had. His photographic skills made me bring amazing memories back home. It was the best Christmas Eve day I ever had, all thanks to João who did everything right. Thank you so much and I definitely recommend the tour. Breathtaking! Ask for João when you book, you will not regret it. I will cherish this day for the rest of my life.

Seeing the west of San Miguel. - We saw beautiful Mountain Views, waterfalls, scenic lakes and ocean views decorated with a rainbow. We visited villages of Sete Cidades and Robeiro Grande. Our meal was tasty and filling with dessert coffee and liquor at the end. Our guide Marco was full of information about the areas we visited. He was very attentive to our needs.

São Miguel West Van Tour - We had Joao as a tour guide: he is one of the best guides I've met throughout the 79 countries visited so far :)
We explored the entire central and west coast of San Miguel island, had a great lunch included in the price :). We received a lot of historical information, good quality misic on the way back. It was a fantastic day!
I strongly recommend to book the trip directly from Pure Azores website. You would save around 10 euro/trip/person.

Great trip - From Joao, our guide, I learned a lot about the island and about the Azores in general. He took us to places where I would normally never had come, some with fantastic views. And on top of it all, an amazing lunch. Obrigado.
