Enjoyed the tour with friends - I enjoyed the view, and the tour guide was so kind and helpful. he let us into the insides of the culture of the island. Honestly they are super nice and gentle. Pro tip: be nice to the guide, and the length of the trip went from 3 hours to 4+, and we were so grateful for it.

Amazing day trip, magnificent views and excellent guide - An amazing trip with magnificent views. Our guide Ricardo spoke very good English and had a real passion for his island and its beauty. Even though it rained and it was foggy in some parts, Ricardo made this trip an unforgettable experience. Would love to come back here and take this tour in April or May to see the flowers in bloom but even now with rain and fog, the tour was excellent.

A must do in the Azores with the best guide - Daniel - This was our third and best activity while in the Azores. Traveling in a Land Rover and taking in the views of the Sete Cidades was fantastic and it was made even better by having a great guide! Daniel was a source of information, humor, and has great people skills. While we enjoyed the full day island tour and the food tour of Porta Delgada, completing our tour with a visit to the Sete Cidades was definitely the highlight and made even better by a great guide. I would recommend booking with Daniel highly.

One of a kind tour - Eduardo was amazing! He showed us the best spots that you may not find on a typical tour. He was very informative about the island history, told us about best places to eat, and it was just a great experience overall.

Sete Cidades Adventure of a Lifetime - I booked a half day tour of Sete Cidades with GREENZONE for my family as a capstone to our week on São Miguel. We were fortunate to get Eduardo (Eddie), an experienced local driver with excellent English and interpersonal skills, to lead us on what became a grand adventure. Our group of 5 ranged from ages 9 to 81 and everyone had a fantastic time. Eddie provided us with a colorful background on the island and answered all our questions as we journeyed through the lush farmlands on our way to the rim of the crater. This was a unique experience that you cannot get by the bus tours or by trying to drive and do a grueling hike. The views from around the crater rim were spectacular.The photos do not do it justice, you must experience it firsthand. We then drove down to the picturesque town to see its unique church of São Nicolau and a different perspective of the lakes at eye level. After our tour, we followed one of Eddie's recommendations for the best steaks on the island. Big shout outs to Eddie for the great adventure and for Sandra C for her excellent communication in arranging the schedule and pick up at our door. We HIGHLY recommend GREENZONE!
