This is THE ONE tour for Sao Miguel - The perfect island tour with the amazing Leandra. Pick up was great and van very comfortable. We saw so many places on this whirlwind tour and even the restaurant caldera stew was (unexpectedly) very delicious and (unexpectedly) excellent value. Couldn’t recommend highly enough! A very lucky find 🍀

Exciting Azores! - On time pickup from cruise ship. We were in 3 vans. The tour was amazing and included the tea plantation , Lagoon, Hot springs, Botanical gardens and a wonderful lunch. The guide was knowledgeable and very kind to my husband since he had a bit trouble walking. The tour is much cheaper than what the cruise line offers and a much smaller group.
