Absolutely amazing tour with Jose and this was our favorite day visiting Sao Miguel by far! Jose was so friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. We learned so much about the island, its nature, and history. We would not hesitate to book this tour again and will recommend Jose to any family or friends who may come to the Azores. 10 out of 10!!

We booked this tour as a family (all adults) for our last day on the island & it was the perfect ending for our stay. Our guide José was amazing, he was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the islands, the plants & birds around us, and the geology of the land. He also chose the perfect view points for every place we visited. We would definitely join José on other trips if we ever go back to Sao Miguel.

We booked this tour as a family (all adults) for our last day on the island. Our guide José was the perfect guide. He picked us up on time, and he proceeded to explain about the history of the island. He was extremely knowledgeable about all topics from history to the geology of the land to the plants around the island. We loved the day, the views were amazing, and José was an exemplary guide. We would definitely go on other trips with him if we ever come again to Sao Miguel.

Jose was a phenomenal tour guide! We learned so much about the islands and their history, the plant and animal life, and general culture of the Azores. The views were stunning, and as a licensed tour guide, Jose had access where others didn’t. It was so nice being on a private tour where we could take our time, and Jose really listened and catered to our interests. If you have a day on Sao Miguel, we would highly recommend this tour! It is a long day, but the experience of a lifetime!

This tour was so lovely. We visited many breathtaking panoramic viewpoints and saw a waterfall, black sand beach and observed many animals. Our guide, José, was very pleasant, knowledgeable and accommodating. I highly recommend!

We had an incredible tour with Jose! The listing was accurate and we were able to see even more than what was listed. This was our favorite excursion in the Azores and a fantastic way to see Sao Miguel island. Jose is an awesome guide and has a great read on people to give the proper level of information/detail depending on their interests and he's a pleasure to spend time with. It is truly difficult to say exactly what was our favorite part of the tour. Jose was prompt in the morning and the vehicle was clean/roomy for a group of 4. We spent the early part of the day driving around one caldera to various view points and learning all about the island. Lunch was incredible and Jose joined us and taught us about local cuisine. Jose let us walk around a bit independently by a lake after lunch to relax and take in some views along with little stops to explore various parts of the island. Can't say enough about Jose and the overall experience - 10/10 and would absolutely recommend booking this for your visit.

Carpe Diem - Seize the Day!!! and we did!!! What an amazing day with Jose'. Meeting us right at the port for pickup and return. His knowledge and stories of his island were wonderful. Since it was a private tour, he would stop for us whenever we asked and for how ever long we wanted. We had local fare for lunch which was a treat! We are still talking about our beautiful day in the Azores. But we feel the experience wouldn't have been the same if we didn't have Jose' narrating throughout our day.

Jose was great. He was informed, patient, explained everything well. Pace was neither hurried or slow. Weather did not fully cooperate, but Jose did the best he could with identifying alternate photo ops.

This was an all day tour (7 hours). We joined two other couples as Jose took us all around the island including the craters as well as the upper ridges of the volcanoes. Jose stopped at prime locations for pictures and conversation. We enjoyed lunch which he arranged at a local restaurant. MOST impressive was Jose's knowledge. He was a combination of historian, botanist, and geologist! A FOUNTAIN of information!

We had great weather and an amazing guide. I’ve never seen so much natural beauty. Our guide Jose was born and raised in the island and is extremely knowledgeable of the nature and history. It was a perfect day. I’ve never taken so many pictures, by the end of the day my wife and I were exhausted from nature overload, and I mean that in the best sense. You can’t count on the weather, but with a little luck you will be amazed!
