Trip to the Nordeste - This was our third tour with ANC and it did not disappoint. Arrangements, both at the office and by our guide for the day, Vasco, went smoothly.
Nordeste is a beautiful region and this was our second trip with Vasco. He loves the island of Sao Miguel and it shows in his enthusiasm and knowledge. It was like a day out with a friend. The scenery is spectacular and it was lovely to see the natural beauty of the area.
Another fantastic trip with ANC.

Interesting and educational excursion. A lot of history and facts about the island, but also how people lived in the past. - The guide Vasco was very knowledgeable and we got to see and learn a lot from this part of the island. Stopped at various places where we got information and history about the place as well as time to walk around and look on our own.

Amazing!!!!!! - Just talking with Sylvia and learning so much about the land and the people who live on it. She was so open and knowledgeable. Let us take as much time as we wanted at each site. It was only our group and she gave us options to tailor our trip to our likes. Very good guide!!!!!

Nordeste tour with Ruben !! - Ruben is the best tour guide we’ve ever had. He was so knowledgeable about the history, the agriculture, the weather, and all the sites we saw.
He took great care of the whole group at lunch, making sure everyone had what they needed to eat & drink !!
He is naturally charming and kept us laughing with jokes and fun insights.
He really made the tour !!

Beautiful city on a beautiful bus! - We had the pleasure of being the first tourists on a brand new bus! We got to tour Ponta Delgada with a number of ANC’s employees and our excellent tour guide, Sarah. My husband and I enjoyed our tour and got a great overview of the city. I puke highly recommend this tour and this company.

Awesome scenery - We enjoyed the tour, the scenery was awesome. The highlight for us was Parque da Ribeira Dos Caldeiroes. It was a beautiful park with waterfalls, flowers, greenery and areas to sit off and relax. our only negative was the airconditioner could have been more powerful.

Many miles in a... - Many kilometers in a big bus so in some places you could not stop. We did other excursions in small groups that are more recommended.

Incomplete Tour. Very disappointed. - This tour was very disappointing. It was a foggy morning but the driver could have changed the route. We stopped in Nordeste,Povoacao and the Natural Park da
Riberia. The best part was the lunch. There was no stop at the ceramic factory,
Vila Franca, Santa Iria viewpoint or Rebecca Grand. This tour was not worth the price
