Great tour! Highly recommended. - We were throughly impressed with this tour! Hugo was the best tour guide. We saw the most beautiful places and enjoyed the day while in Port on a cruise. Hugo made sure we were back to the ship in plenty of time. I enjoyed the lunch and the tea plantation the most

Great tour and excellent guide - We had a great time on this tour. Highlights included incredible views, swimming at Furnas and the delicious Cozido lunch. Our guide Hugo was knowledgeable and thoughtful, bringing umbrellas for the rain, ensuring my wife’s gluten free needs were met and providing informative details about each site. We highly recommend it.

Excellent, fun loving, and highly knowledgeable! - We took two different tours during our stay in San Miguel with this company, and we were so happy that we chose them. We had Hugo and Bruno as tour guides on two separate days, and they were both amazing. Their immense knowledge of the Island was beyond remarkable. They were fun loving and enthusiastic and their boundless personal energy made the tour even more enjoyable. We loved our experience and highly recommend them, it's an experience I will never forget!

Great experiences! - We took two tours, with Hugo and Bruno as our guides. They made us feel like we were old friends. Both are very knowledgeable about the history of their island and enthusiastic about showing visitors the wonderful places to see.

We had a great day with Hugo.

Got to see many great... - Got to see many great views of this beautiful island. Lunch was a neat experience & delicious! Pick up, drop off at lodging very convenient& on time. Plenty time provided to soak in thermal pools & explore the lovely gardens. Guide was very nice, but offered little info unless asked, & we would have appreciated more explanation about the next stop on itinerary, most of group did not speak English & guide often talked with them so we ended up feeling like we were missing out on information.

Wonderful trip, but wished they texted me the day before when they were picking me up - Very informative guide, beautiful scenery. The only problem was that the tour company did not inform me the day before that they were coming or the time they would pick us up. They picked us up 15 minutes late since they picked someone else first. I really didn’t know if they were coming. A simple text is easy in this day and age.
