Excellent experience. Highly recommend - Tour guide, Miguel was excellent. Fog prevented a clear view of the lagoa, but he pivoted and showed us other interesting sights. We will tour with him on our next visit to S Miguel.

Wonderful half day activity to see Lake Fogo (and other little gems) - An awesome tour! Our guide Telmo was so lovely and personable, funny and super knowledgable with lots of little fun stories about the Azores - the perfect guide! He tailored our trip to the rainy morning and it really felt that he was happy doing it and was not rushing us at all. It was a perfect half day activity and would highly recommend it (and especially Telmo)!

Perfect day in spite of the weather - Delphim, our guide was great, but the weather wasn’t. No craters for us but a wonderful day was had. He shared his city with us. We were picked up at the cruise ship terminal ad taken all around the island. Lots of cows, hot springs and water falls. Can’t wait to return

Beautiful introduction to Sao Miguel - Philips was Fabulous!!! Knew the history of Sao Miguel, and the names of all the flowers and trees. He schooled us on the indigenous history of the flora and import history also. Picked us up at our hotel in Caloura and drop off, and took us thru the town and recommend a fabulous seafood restaurant on the ocean. I only wish we did not have prior reservations on other days because I would have spent the next 4 days with him.

A great tour after a stumble. - It would’ve been 5 stars, but we didn’t go on the Jeep tour. There was a mistake, and we were booked (correct confirmation number) on another day. We were put on another tour, actually an upgrade. We liked the guide a lot, couldn’t have liked her more. Very knowledgeable and a great driver. She gets 5 stars! We got lucky on the weather, as it had rained before and after our date.
