“Super tour! Joaquim is an excellent guide and driver. He told a lot about the islands' history, societies, habits etc. He was very helpful in answering questions and taking into account the needs of a small but diverse group. TOP! The experiences throughout the day are interesting, sufficiently varied and just fun. From a magnificent viewpoint to witnessing tea-from-the-plant becoming a very nice cup of tea, bathing in a geothermical swimming pond and tasting the local stew, cooked in the ground with the steam of the vulcano! Great tour, great guide, great day. Absolutely recommended.”

Review of a private 4x4 Furnas Volcano tour from Ponta Delgada, with tea, hot springs, volcanic cooking, scenic stops, and local guidance.
“I booked this tour with my mother. We were initially a little concerned that my mother would not be able to keep up due to her advanced age and mobility limitations. We were so blessed to have José as our guide, He took such good care of my mom to ensure she could see everything. And he was so patient and compassionate! My mother is so appreciative. This tour was wonderful. We could not have seen these places without José and he was very knowledgeable about the history, nature and geography. I can write an entire novel about all the wonderful things we did, but that would take too long.…”
Review of São Miguel’s private Sete Cidades and Lagoa do Fogo tour, with crater lakes, thermal baths, local food, pricing, and practical tips.
“Honestly, traveling with a 6 month old can be a hit or miss. We booked the private tour to be able to head home early if our son became cranky. With our guide, Nunu, we didn’t have to worry. Our son was able to nap in the van, we took turns if we made stops to go see the sites, and Nunu was extremely patient and caring. He even played with our son and held him so we could have some Pineapple Sangria and enjoy the sites. He was extremely knowledgeable about everything, not just the islands, and gave us an experience we couldn’t have imagined. I highly recommend this…”
