Very complete tour, not to miss for those who visit the island. Passage through many locations and with stops, and with historical description throughout the tour.

This is a wonderful full day tour and a great value for the price. The local steamed lunch is a must to try served with wine or beer if you like. All viewpoints spectacular. We enjoyed our guide Joaquin so much that we signed with him for another full day tour other side of island.

If we could give 6 stars, we would! Bruno was so informative, funny and kind! He gave information in the most creative and enjoyable way! He went beyond our tour expectations and we would definitely go with him again. Don't miss the opportunity to have him as your guide!

Joaquim our tour guide and driver was charming, very knowledgable and the perfect host and we saw far more things in a day than we could have done had we hired a car. He took us to a traditional Azores restaurant where we enjoyed a super lunch. We are in our mid 70’s and would highly recommend this tour.

Our guide Joaquim made for a great day. We travelled in a small group and he made sure we didn't lack anything. We got plenty of explanations, got to know a lot and visited a lot of sights. Definitely recommended if you want to discover the center / east of São Miguel.

We really enjoyed this personalized tour with Joao! He was friendly and personable, gave us good information about the islands. Only downfall was the thermal springs. It was disorganized there nobody to help you figure it out, change rooms were small. Be prepared. You need wifi to get a secure locker. My partner opted out of the experience to watch our belongings. Unfortunate waste of our entry fee. The gardens were lovely and worth a stroll. Would still recommend the tour as it was not their fault! Overall great experience!

Our tour Andre did an amazing job showing us around. We visited Villa Franca and Furnas. He told us a lot of interesting things about the island. We saw so many beautiful sights. The lunch was so good. We booked another tour with Green visions later this week

Our guide, Joachim had grown up on the island and was a wonderful narrator of the island: past, present and future. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and eager to share his beautiful island home with us. We had a perfect sized group, 6 people.
