Katia was incredible! We had the best day touring these must-see stops on the island, like some beautiful waterfalls and vistas. The trip couldn't have been more convenient with a hotel pickup, and she was very kind and knowledgeable. The lunch spot also had vegan / dairy free options. Highly recommended for an enjoyable and unforgettable day!
Please note that there are some stops that require a little bit of walking, including one or two that require a little bit of balance to pass (although you can stay back for that and not miss much).

This tour was absolutely AMAZINGGG! This is the best experience we have ever had on a tour. The views and scenery were so stunning and beautiful, every turn we took there was something new to look at. We even got to stop for some pictures with the Happy Cows which was so special!
But even better than the views was our tour guide Joao!!! We have nothing but great things to say about Joao. He was so knowledgeable and informative about the nature of the island, the history and culture. He was so accommodating and understanding with any concerns that came up. And oh my, what an amazing photographer getting pictures of our entire group.
The lunch was also fantastic, the staff at the restaurant were so nice and the food was delicious traditional food. It was a great experience.
Thank you so so sooooooo much to Pure Azores and the biggest thank you to Joao for providing an unforgettable day!

Joao was awesome! From the moment he picked us up at 9am until drop off around 5pm he shared his knowledge and love for the beautiful Azores.
We knew it would be a good day when he picked us up, started driving and explaining the itinerary and asked if we had swimsuits in case we wanted to swim in some waterfalls. Our 15yo boys jumped at the opportunity so Joao returned to the hotel for a quick stop and off we went again, swimsuits in hand.
Our group was three generations ranging in age from 15 to 82 and he was able to accommodate a comfortable pace for us all along the way.
Our day was truly enjoyable, we learned a lot and loved the experiences we encountered - especially when Joao took us to the church we believe my husband's great-grandfather was baptized in.
Highly recommend the tour and Joao; we look forward to our return and more wonderful adventures with him!

We highly recommend this tour. We were sceptical at first because we already did the west coast tour but there is always something new to discover. João was an amazing tour guide and the personal encounters within the group were great.

The hidden gems tour with Pure Azores tours was the best tour we went on during our week in the Azores.
Joao was a fantastic guide, made us all feel welcome and was very engaging and knowledgable on the islands, history, flora and fauna.
We saw some wonderful things that we would likely not have found ourselves. Lunch was provided where traditional island food could be sampled alongside Green wine and other beverages.
Highly recommend to anyone.
