Lovely and informative tour of high points of Sao Miguel island including Sete Cidades, tea factory, north coast lookout, Furnas and hot springs and Terra Nostra garden. Diogo was helpful and informative about life in the Azores as well as information on sites. Entertaining. A great outing. Highly recommended.

Dennis_Z

What a beautiful excursion we had with Jose Melo. Jose was so informative about his island. The drive was so beautiful. A stop at a tea factory was educational and very scenic as well. The stops at Sete Cicades and Furnas Volcano were remarkable. We also stopped for a lunch break at a very cute local bakery shop in town, we loved it all! Thank you Jose, you made this so memorable for us, we want to come back!

Lindsay_P

We would visit the Azores again. Our tour guide was well versed in the islands history. Beautiful, lush landscaping and rolling volcanic hills. Amazing day. Thank you.

Diego did an awesome job with our tour of Punta Delgada. He was an excellent driver and we always felt safe. He even took us to some hidden local gems for amazing views. Definitely worth it!

Robert_B

Excellent young guide: friendly and informative! Excellent excursion! Beautiful countryside excursion route to Seven Cities, tea plantation with gorgeous rocky coastline views, and Furnas hot springs!

Andrew_D

This is a nice tour that goes to several sites worth seeing. The smaller van allows access to sites that bigger busses can not go. The 5-6 hour length of the tour gives the extra time to see more than just one or two high lights.

Jonathan_B

We arrived at the specified location to start the tour. In fact we arrived more than an hour early - and waited an hour and a half. Our tour guide never showed up (despite his deceptive tales otherwise). But fortunately we were able to hire an honest tour guide later - who saved the day for us!

I really appreciate iGoAzores, great company. On time pickup, very professional, and took great care of me when the other tourists were decidely late.

I would have rated it zero, DO NOT BOOK with a company called iGoAzores through TripAdvisor or Viator the guide DID NOT show up!! We and another couple were at the meeting spot 30 minutes prior
