The excursion with our guide Andre today was very informative and varied. There were three of us 1 x Canada, 2x Germany and Andre could easily adapt to the different languages. Would book a tour again at any time.
Not my first time here but I have never done a tour with a guide. Really does help, you can ask questions.

Even though the weather looked like it was not going to be the best it did end up being a great day. Our tour guide Rafael was great.

If you are into natural wonders and some history of the islands: this trip is for you! Our guide made this experience fun and was very knowledgeable about his beloved island. He gave us statistical information on the economy, the beauty of the island and the volcanoes and “furnas” we saw. Quite te adventure for the short time our cruise stop allowed. They were on time and delivered us back to the cruise with no issues.
Andre was a terrific guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly, with a good sense of humor. Great itinerary, too. Recommend

You are going to see a lot of great scenery, which is the main attraction. The Tea Plantation and the Pineapple Farm are nice but it is the views that made the trip.
An Amazing Day
