We got stuck in the back of the Jeep and were tossed around like rag dolls for most of the trip. We ere facing each other and my husband got very car sick from the experience. I ended up with a bruise on my forehead from being bounced around so much. Not a great experience at all. Probably would have been different if we were in a regular seat. Also, our guide smelled of cigarettes and almost every stop he pulled out a cigarette to smoke. Very unprofessional. We ended up getting a rental car the next day and wish we had just done that from the start.

My husband and I had the best time! We did a half day for Sete Cidades and signed up last minute and we are so glad we did! It was just my husband and I, so it was a private little tour and our tour guide was amazing. She educated us on so much information on not only the village and lake of Sete Cidades, but of Sao Miguel and the other islands! She brought us to other breath taking views, it was amazing!

We took a whale watching tour as well as a tour of the island on two different days. We were very lucky to have great weather both days. The whale watching trip was exceptional. The guides and crew were all very professional and the catamaran tour boat clean and comfortable. We were fortunate to see Sei whales as well as three different species of dolphins, as well as tuna and a school of fish in a ball formation, which is apparently uncommon, being set upon by the dolphins and tuna. Our tour of the island involved seeing the calderas of Sete Citades and Fogo, as well as thermal springs. Miguel was a very professional, friendly, knowledgeable guide . The scenery was beautiful. Both tours were top notch

Well - I booked before with another, and they were unwilling to tell me how many passengers could go into a Jeep. So we decided that they did not fit with my expectations. So I found Futurismo, who told me a minimum of 6, but some could also 8. When I met many friendly fellow cruisers on our cruise, we asked for the larger vehicle. Patricia was incredible: she found a larger vehicle for us so we could celebrate our 25th anniversary with many friends and must leave anyone behind. Paolo was the perfect guide. We had luck and the best weather to have an enjoyable tour. It was inspiring. I know: whenever I am back on Sao Miguel, Futurismo will be the first contact to ensure a great tour on Sao Miguel again. Obrigado!!!

Our tour guide, Paolo, was outstanding. we had a great trip. The only problem was a little bad weather that limited our view of Lagoa do Fogo. Certainly not his fault. Enjoyed the sights of this beautiful island, with some history and insights along the way.

Nunu was a truly amazing guide— it was great to see all of these incredible sites with an experienced guide. His knowledge and expertise was fantastic and his commentary captured the wonder of the Azores! Highly recommend this tour but especially my guide!

Guides Paulo and Felipe were knowledgeable and personable….happy to lend a hand when needed …..kept my pace rather than forcing me to keep up….weather as perfect and would highly recommend the Sete Cidades trip…they provided lunch…which we ate overlooking Blue Lake…can’t think of a better view

Recomendo esta viagem em jipe. Passamos por sítios incríveis que por carro era impensável. Tivemos um guia que foi a cereja no topo do bolo. Parabéns Ricardo Tavares pelo seu profissionalismo.
