Wonderful Lakes of Sete Cidades - I had an amazing experience with Azores Islands Experience! Everything was very well organized and allowed us to truly enjoy the beauty of the Azores.
A special thank you to our guide, Gabriele, who made the tour even more memorable. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the island. He shared many interesting facts and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included throughout the day.
Thanks to him, the experience was not only beautiful but also fun and engaging. I highly recommend Azores Islands Experience and especially Gabriele if you want a truly authentic and enjoyable visit to the islands!

Tour of Seven Cities - The Seven Cities are one of the most stunning places I have ever visited. The lagoon, with its shades of blue and green, surrounded by mountains and lush vegetation, looks like an exit from a postcard.
The tranquility of the venue, the fresh air and the panoramic views of the viewpoints make the experience unforgettable. Each point offers a different and equally impressive perspective. It is a magical place, perfect for those who appreciate nature, silence and breathtaking landscapes. A mandatory visit to São Miguel!

Inexplicable - One of the most impressive views I've ever found: depth, silence and an almost unreal beauty.
Visiting the Crater of Seven Cities was one of the most striking moments . The view of the lagoons, one clearer and another deeper, surprises you when you reach the viewpoint. Access is easy and well signed, but it is worth going with a guide. I recommend walking a bit around the tracks — each curve reveals a different framework and is well worth it

Unforgettable experience - A destiny that surpasses all expectations.
The magic of the island culminates in the stunning Seven Cities crater, where the contrast between the blue and green lagoons creates a breathtaking landscape.
Each mirage reveals an even more impressive setting, making it seem like we’re in a perfect natural setting.
An experience that will stay in memory forever.

Exploring the Azores with a Friend – Twice! - I toured with Gabriele last year, and when I returned to the Azores this year, I made sure to book with him again — that’s how great the experience was! I spent three amazing days touring the island with him, and it was just as wonderful as the first time. Traveling with Gabriele feels comfortable, safe, and genuinely fun — like exploring with a good friend. He’s incredibly patient, takes fantastic photos, and his passion for his hometown shines through in every story he tells and every beautiful spot he shares. If you want an authentic, relaxed, and unforgettable experience in the Azores, Gabriele and Azores Islands Experiences are the perfect choice!

An amazing introduction to Sete Cidades - Gabriel was a highly knowledgeable and personable guide. Despite the rain and fog, which kept us from seeing some of the beauty of the Sete Cidades areas, he did his best give us a great experience.
