Loved this!! - Marica and Phillip were awesome! They are super informative and also just a delight to be around. They gave us a great tour of the island and offered us lots of photo opportunities. The only thing we would have liked is a bit more walking time and less time in the car, but it wasn’t great weather so this might have contributed to more time spent in the car. Despite this, we loved all of the sights. The lunch experience was also fantastic!!

Amazing Trip! - Enjoyed an amazing trip in Sao Miguel thanks to Follow Me Guided Tours. Marica and Felipe’s knowledge of the island allowed us to take the backroads and feel like we’re getting let in on the local secrets. Best part was not having to plan anything or rent a car. They picked us up from the hotel daily and guided us to new parts of the island each day. 10/10 recommend. Thanks for a memorable vacation!

Follow Me Guided Tours Are Special - I met Marica and Filipe last year while on the island. I couldn’t wait to engage with them again. They are warm, funny, knowledgable and quite accommodating. Having used their services last year, Marica was able to suggest very different hikes and activities. There is so much to see on Sao Miguel and we were able to cover a lot. They took us on awesome activities including swimming in a hot spring in the ocean, hiking through a forest and viewing the island from the mountains. It was spectacular. They speak fluent English.

Outstanding experience - We took a full day tour to explore Sao Miguel with Follow Me Guided Tours. Marica and Filipe were very friendly, incredibly engaging, and super knowledgeable. They customized the itinerary for us and went out of their way to ensure we had a wonderful experience. We've taken private day tours in other countries, and this tour- thanks to Marica and Filipe- stands out as the best. We recommend spending a day with them while visiting Sao Miguel!

Highly Recommend! - This was amazing! We got so much done it such a short amount of times it’s actually quite unbelievable. We were here for a little short of two weeks and only booked one day of a guided tour with Philipe and Marica. I wish I would have booked another guided tour with them! You can see so much and learn so much about the island in such a short period of time. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend. Worthwhile. Go private! - Enjoyable tour even though weather was questionable. Knowledgeable guide Marika and her husband Philippe driver were spot on timing idiots to minimize crowds and maximize weather. Highly recommend.

Knowledgeable guides always one step ahead of the crowds and the weather! - We did 3 full day tours with Follow Me. Every day was well planned and the guides could think on their feet and swap around our days as it suited the ever-changing weather. They were knowledgeable about the history of the island, culture, politics, plant life, and good spots to see and restaurants for lunch. We always got to places and did our visit, and were leaving just as the big tours would come. It felt like we were spending time with friends.

Sao Miguel - Your Way [But Better} - If you’re planning a trip to Sao Miguel, just stop whatever else you’re doing and email/call the two-person team of Filipe and Marica (the duo behind Follow Me Guided Tours). You simply aren’t going to find a better value on the island. The combination of knowledge only a longtime local can provide, with excellent customer service, with a true love of nature and experiences, and superb conversationalists, equals an unforgettable holiday. Stop reading blog posts. Don’t worry about Instagram. These two will make sure you see everything Sao Miguel has to offer. You’ll see it before everyone else. You won’t wait in line, you won’t waste time. Let them know your preferences, and they’ll cater to your interests. They’ll make every effort to adapt on the fly to suit your needs - and they’ll do it while communicating with you promptly and efficiently. Everything you could ask for in local guides - plus much more! We did four full days with these two, and we wish that Follow Me Guided Tours would follow us wherever we went on our next trip!
