Senior couple. We did the first half of the tour (Sete Cidades) in the morning with WILSON SILVA in a jeep. We recommend him and were delighted. Unforgettable visit. Wilson is skilled and motivated. We experienced 'the four seasons' in three hours and sometimes a thick fog. What we sometimes lost in visibility, we gained in the magical effect offered by these weather conditions characteristic of the island. Thank you

Ce fut un plaisir de vous accueillir à São Miguel et nous espérons avoir l'occasion de vous recevoir à nouveau lors d'un prochain séjour aux Açores.
Truly an all day -8 + hours. Great tour guide. Flexible too. A great Island with so much to see and do. Helps to have someone knowledgeable lead one around. Nice to be in a small group. Only 4of us made it comfortable too
Our guide Carlos was fun and knowledgeable. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate but he did his best to make the most of the day. The one thing I wish I knew was that you need to book your tickets to the thermal springs the day before due to limited availability. We knew they were extra but assumed we got them when we entered Calderia Velha. We liked that the groups were small and pick up and drop off was included
We really enjoyed the tour and all the places in the itinerary. Lunch was enjoyable, too. But the highlight was our guide, Pedro, who is a very careful driver, with excellent English, and who told us many stories and facts about the island; at some point, he even produced a bag of cat food for a couple of stray cats. Definitely recommend them!
Ruben and driver (unfortunately I forgot his name) were exceptional. The trip when very smooth with very good explanations for what we saw. It was a great time and made more enjoyable by them. It helped that the other tour members were super friendly as well.
Very disappointed that the thermal pools were closed and that was not mentioned anywhere that I saw in the add. The main reason for the tour was the thermal pool so not real happy we paid the amount we did to not get what we wanted.
This is our second time using Viator in the Azores. This is also our second time with this tour to Logoa do Fogo and Sete Cidades. Our tour guide Henry was very professional and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the restaurant Sao Nicolou in Sete Cidades and the views and history of the island.
This was a great tour. Our tours guide, Henry, was excellent. We weren't expecting to visit a pineapple production and learn how pineapple are grown and harvested. The lunch was delicious at a local restaurant. We also enjoyed going to the sites of historic vulcanos and learning more about that. Al in all, a really great tour
Great guide who provided a wonderful tour despite the weather being against us for most of the day. Tried his very best to ensure we saw as much as possible wherever possible. The included lunch was plentiful and tasty with nice local wines, juices and coffee provided.
