Well worth It! - I traveled with my wife and 20 month old daughter. We had a wonderful time with Artur. He took us all over the island. We stopped for a famous quijada de Villa Franca do Campo. The lunch was a generous portion and very good. We’ve already recommended him to a few of our friends that are planning a vacation to the Azores.

Wonderful! - It was a great tour! Super informative and gave a great overview of the island. The only thing I could have done without was the last lake we went to at the end of the tour, supposedly it is not really visible for most of the year, so maybe that portion should be cut from the tour? Otherwise it was fantastic I would highly recommend!

Wonderful guide for a beautiful island - Arturo was the best guide! He made us feel welcome, and as several of our group had Portuguese heritage from the Azores took us to the Immigration Museum in addition to showing us the highlights of San Miguel island. We highly recommend Arturo as your private guide, will definitely recommend his tour to anyone from Hawaii visiting the Azores.

Private Tour with Gabriel - A wonderful private tour with Gabriel. He was polite, courteous and knowledgeable, an entertaining conversationalist. He pointed out many interesting facts and spent the right amount of time at each stop. Our Cozido das Furnas lunch was absolutely delicious! And of course, Gabriel was an excellent driver through the foggy twisting roads. I highly recommend this tour 10/10

Definitely recommend this little adventure - This is a great tour for an overview of the island. It is a lot too see in one day so it is good to do it at the beginning of your trip. Artur is a great guide and so down to earth. He took us to a local place for lunch. The food was very good.
