Private Tour by car or Van with a local guide to see Furnas area.
Furnas is located in almost the middle east of Sao mIguel island, where you can find the Caldeiras (fumaroles), and one of the richest places in Europe in terms of thermal and medicinal waters (22 different springs). You can also find one of the most diverse places in terms of vegetation, and probably the most beautiful botanical garden on the Azores "Parque Terra Nostra Garden" (12.5 hectares), within which you will find a hot geothermal pool (with a temperature between 41 at 42 degrees).
Taste one of the most famous gastronomy of the Azores, the "Cozido das Furnas" stew.
Furnas is close to the only tea plantation in Europe (where green tea and 3 types of black tea are produced).

5.00Half day tour of the island by our driver Helder was a really great trip. Because of poor weather we could not accomplish the exact tour but Helder gave us a real taste of island life giving much information and answering our questions. This is the second trip we have booked with Gary Trevasso and would recommend this private trip in a clean and comfortable luxury Mercedes saloon. Many thanks.
A place you need to experience!

5.00My husband and I spent 3 days with Cesar from Azorean Tours. They were 3 spectacular days seeing the sites, getting to know the Island and the culture and history and getting to know Cesar. Every day was an adventure and he knew just when to stay back so we could have time together and explore on our own. If you're going to the Azores you must get in touch with Cesar or Gary. Our time on Sao Miguel was memorable because the place is amazing but also because of Cesar. We will be back to spend more time there, see Cesar and enjoy the incredible food at the restaurants Cesar took us too.

5.00Terrific day with GUI as our guide. We were able to taste the food cooked from there… very tasty! We experienced the hot spring pool which was so relaxing. Definitely worth the entrance fee. Gui took us anywhere else we wanted in the area. Thank you for such a great experience!
Great day with Nuno

5.00What a great day. Gary is so knowledgeable about the Azores he was able to change the planned route without even knowing! He’s accommodating and full of information having a Canadian background makes him well grounded and modest but super amazing host!
Highly recommended

5.00Cesar was an absolutely phenomenal tour guide. We were a party of 8 with 4 adults, 3 teens and a 7 year old. The tour was great for all ages and Cesar catered the trip to exactly what we wanted. We saw the beach, waterfalls, geothermal features, tea farm, numerous scenic spots, local food and the entire tour was fantastic. I felt like we got to see the whole island by the end of our tour. Phenomenal and we will definitely be back.
Wonderful Tour with Kids

5.00Helder was amazing. He knew so much about every aspect of Azores. The willingness to customize our itinerary was perfect for our young children. He even showed up with car seats. Pineapple farm, waterfalls, crater, and a perfect small restaurant for lunch.
Great day in Furnas

5.00We had a very pleasant visit to the Furnas area with Gary. He knows his island well, speaks very well in English and was very accommodating about the organization of lunch. The sites visited could be adjusted to the interests of our family. Excellent excursion.
