Great tour of Sete Cidades

5.00Ricardo was great! Very knowledgeable about Sau Migel and the other islands. What started out as a foggy rainy day turned out to be really nice. We did the half day tour of Sete Cidades. Even though Mother Nature was trying to dampen things we still saw the beauty of the area! Also saw the black beaches and dramatic cliffs. Absolutely worth it!

5.00Our driver/guide Carlos was great. Met us at the cruise terminal and provided historical information of the region as we drove to Sete Cidades. We stopped several times for scenic pictures. This was an enjoyable tour worth taking.

4.00We did the VAN Tour - Sete Cidades Lakes | Half Day with Erasmus, an excellent guide. An opportunity to contemplate, from several viewpoints, the magnificent breathtaking landscapes of this part of Sao Miguel. Only one downside: if you want to walk around the two lakes, add another visit to this place as it is limited in time for the walk.
Would book again

5.00First time trying greenzone, and I was not sure what to expect, especially we had our toddler travelling with us. It was surprisingly amazing, way beyond our expectations. We really enjoyed our time with greenzone, so we booked next day with them. Thank you for taking care of us.

5.00Sergio was the best and the friendliest driver! He gave a lot of interesting information. Showed us the most beautiful places and stopped at the places where we could best see everything or had the best view. Away from the tourists. Super friendly and helpful! Highly recommended. Ask for driver Sergio!!
Such an informative and fun afternoon

5.00Our guide was phenomenal. Pedro shared so much information with us and adjusted the tour due to weather in order to provide us with the best views and experience. Our tour was filled with laughter, knowledge and was SO enjoyable. Pedro told us that his goal was to make us want to return and he more than did that. What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon.
