I couldn’t have asked for a better guide on the tour, just wow! João is the best guide I’ve ever had on a tour which says a lot since I’ve been to almost every continent. Don’t hesitate to book! All of the reviews mentioning João and how great he is are true. He is very knowledgeable and is happy to answer any questions you have. Want to know about cheese, cows, flowers, birds, the history of Azores? Ask João!

This tour was amazing! The hot springs at Terra Nova are huge and gorgeous, with incredible gardens, I easily could have spent a whole day just there. We also went to beautiful gardens with waterfalls, and everywhere we went the hydrangeas were in full bloom (I visited in late June). Our tour guide João was super fun and enthusiastic about all of the destinations, and knew all of the perfect spots and the perfect angles to get the best pictures for family photos or instagram. He made the whole day super fun and was extremely friendly and welcoming. At the hot springs, the water can stain your clothes a little bit, so I recommend a dark colored swimsuit. Also I could not get the lockers there to work, but that had nothing to do with the tour company. I took this tour as a solo female traveler, the Azores are my first stop on a 3 week backpacking trip. I only got to see São Miguel this time, I will have to come back in the future and see more of the islands!

I did not feel out of place or like the “odd man out” at any point today, it was a great experience. I only got to see São Miguel this trip, I will have to come back in the future and see more of the islands and how they compare!

Joao (different from our Joao for the west tour) was also a fantastic guide!! This was a great way to see such incredible sights on this beautiful island. The lunch in Furnas was incredible.

Katiya was amazing at telling stories of the Azores while building a rapport with each tour member. I have rarely seen such a competent and engaged tour guide. Highly recommend!

Jim_P

Very much enjoyed our tour. Katya was a fantastic guide who clearly loves the island. Coastal views were spectacular and the caldeiras around Furnas were quite other worldly. Was nice touring in a small and friendly group too.

We had a beautiful day with our cool witty guide Gonçalo in the east of the island (and you will go totaly east not just Furnas). The tour is NOT necessarily weather dependant but it helps. You will have a very nice time exploring Furnas and surroundings and having a generous time for a swim in Furnas thermals and the huge garden. After that you will be hungry, which is good as you will taste the local steamed dish cooked underground using just the warmth of earth. You will visit beautiful waterfalls of the east and go to the "world's end". It was my second time in Sao Miguel and we did East and West again with the Pure Azores.

This was an easy going tour. Beautiful way to see half of the island. The viewpoints are breathtaking. We travelled with a 9 year old and he loved the hot springs. The lunch was delicious. Our guide Gonçalo was very knowledgeable and funny. He made the tour memorable.

My mom.and sister really enjoyed this tour!! There was so much to see and Manuel was super helpful. We stopped at some great spots that weren't populated with all the other "tourists". The food was also great! Really enjoyed being able to see where it was cooked, then got to eat it. It's alot of food, so make sure your belly is empty!!
