4 x 4 tour for 4!

Published on Oct, 2024

Jose was an excellent tour guide. He’s very knowledgeable of the island and its history. We had a great day with him and I highly recommend this tour.

Amazing Tour, would book again

Published on Sep, 2024

We will talk about this tour for years to come and book a tour with Jose whenever we return to the Azores. Jse's knowledge of the island and flora and fauna is unmatched. He never rushed us at any location and our tour ran well over which was so nice. The thermal baths, tea house and lunch was exceptional. If you want to learn about the island and see sites you won't get anywhere else, you must book this tour!

Amazing all day tour with knowledgeable guide. Jose is very passionate ate about the Azores and a nature guide

Published on Aug, 2024

Jose is the most informative, insightful guide we have ever traveled with. He is a naturalist and he could tell us scientific names of plants to how to save certain birds because he has done it so many times. He could pull out the bird sound recording and my oldest got a kick out of it mimicking the sound. He is born and raised in the island and you can tell he loves the island and every aspect of it. He keeps both adults and kids (7 and 4) as engaged as possible. Our 4 year old ran up to him to show him the obsidians he found. They asked him questions and had lots of conversations. We can ask for a better guide.

100% recommend!

Excellent tour! Joseph was kind and knowledgeable; this is definitely the way to see a lot of Sao Miguel when you don’t have a lot of time. 100% recommend!

Amazing experience! Joseph was so knowledgeable and attentive. We learned a lot about Azorean history & had a great time seeing all the sights. This full day tour helped us see so much - if we would’ve tried to do this on our own it would’ve taken 3 days & we still wouldn’t have gotten a fraction done that we did. 100% recommend!
