Private Tour
Lagoa do Fogo and Sete Cidades Private Full Day Tour
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Visiting a place it's more than exploring and taking pictures. It's also about understanding what makes that place special and unique, it's culture, it's people. I've lost count of how many people I've encountered that regretted renting a car and exploring on their own (all the stress involved and the nature of the island twisty narrow roads contribute to that), or others that at the tea or pineapple plantations ask me to give some explanation about what they are seeing when they are not my clients and realize what they are missing. On a private tour, tailored to your needs and interests, you can let an experienced tour guide drive you around in a safe and relaxed environment, learn about the places you visit and, in some way, become a local too. You won't have to divide the guide's attention with others, it's a private tour! You'll learn the local culture, economy, habits while being driven by not only a local experienced guide… But a friend!

5.00We were on a cruise ship and we booked a private tour because we wanted to use our time the best way possible. We got that and more with Flavio. He was on time, very knowledgeable, friendly and a safe driver. We would recommend this tour to our friends and family.

5.00Had a wonderful time exploring the island with Flávio! He was an amazing guide who shared his love for his home with us and taught us so much about its history, industry and sights. We loved our first day of touring so much we immediately booked him for a second day so we could see more! I couldn’t recommend this tour company more. It is a beautiful island and this was absolutely the best way to see it.

5.00Our tour with Flavio / Sao Miguel Exclusive Tours was the perfect introduction to the island! Informative and personable, we learned so much about where we were visiting, and what a delight to not have to worry about navigation, parking etc. After our tour, Flavio even checked in with us to make sure that our visit to Sao Miguel was going well. Communication was timely and clear, and I am already recommending this tour to our friends back home.
incredible guide in Sao Miguel

5.00Flavio was outstanding! He is very professional, knowledgeable, smart, and fun to be with! we loved our two days with him… He customized everything for us according to our interests and the weather… He even took us in the evening to see the sunset on the west coast, and them to Ferreira to swim in the tidal pool during low tide at 10PM! was truly a special experience. Highly recommend him!!

5.00Flavio, for starters, is an excellent communicator. He reached out beforehand to plan our day and even made lunch reservations because a lot of places were closed due to a holiday. He explained the island perfectly, and even though the day was rainy, we were able to explore many places. He has a great sense of humor, and we thoroughly enjoyed our day. I would highly recommend you using Flavio for your touring needs.
Great job!

5.00Flavío was a great guide who shared his wealth of knowledge about São Miguel throughout the day. Very professional, on time, and made for a very enjoyable final day of my trip. He listens to his clients and tailors the tour to what they want to see – what more could you want!
