Great tour, with a great guide! 10/10 - Pedro drove us in his 4x4 car all around the Sete Cidades Lake and the west side of the island, driving over agricultural paths that only locals know. He told us really interesting stories, explained everything in detail, and gave us great recommendations. Despite the unfavorable weather conditions, he did his best to ensure that we could see nice views. He even added an extra stop to the tour that was not planned! If you are visiting São Miguel, do not hesitate to contact him!!

Fantastic jeep tour for whole of family. - Fantastic personalised tour, catering for family of 5, ages 10 to 50. Pedro was so welcoming and informative. We learned alot about history and nature of islands, going off road where we would never drive, the boys loved this experience. Pedro also organised that we could go biking and took us to a spot for a dip/jump in ocean pools at end of the day. This was a brilliant way of starting our week and a holiday highlight. So relaxing as Pedro did all the planning/driving and you can sit back and take in all the stunning scenary. I highly recommend.

The best guide with 4wd in the Azores - We had a beautiful day with Pedro. His 4WD vehicle was able to go off road to places we had never seen before. Coincidentally our last guide to the Azores was with his Uncle. Both are awesome. Due to fog we were unable to see the Sete Cicades from offroad but we ended up at the S. Nicolau church where we walked around the cute town. We then drove to see the green and the blue lake. Pedro shared the folklore of the area. We had a delicious lunch with the best dessert - a queijadas da vila at Restaurante Lagoa Azul. Next stop was Mosteiros and it was lovely. We drove back through pretty towns looking at homes for sale before stopping in a local grocery to try to get more of the delicious desserts to take home. Pedro was awesome and we can't wait to return again to tour with him

Unique experience with a great guide - We had a pleasure of spending 5 days with Pedro. It was absolutely unique and memorable experience: amazing views, swimming in an ocean heated by natural springs, great food -just to name a few. We spoke to several people who went to this area with different guides or by rental car and they were all surprised how many more highlights we saw. Pedro is an excellent guide who knows how to listen and customize the tour according to your specific wishes. Can"t wait to return. Obrigados Pedro!

Couldn't have asked for a better day! - Pedro was early to pick me up and was very friendly and outgoing from the start. He shared a lot of information about the island itself and his life growing up there. He gave me plenty of time to stop and look around at the viewpoints and offered up stories and jokes throughout the day along with incredible views. This experience was something I had been looking forward to for a long time and it exceeded my expectations and was the perfect day!

Surprising West - Sete Cidadas was exactly what I expected. You have to climb as high as possible to get the entire effect. What was surprising was the South west part or the island. Outcroppings, Lava, shoreline all beautiful.

Excellent private tour experience - My husband and I came to the island as part of our honeymoon in Portugal and Pedro blew us away. I contacted him before the trip to share some things I wanted to see and he was very responsive. He had a very well thought out itinerary ready the day of, which took into account both weather and crowds. We got to see all we hoped to see, plus some surprises! His English was excellent and he shared a lot of helpful information as well as answered all our questions. Very highly recommend him! We would use him again on another trip to the Azores.

Beautiful and safe tour for solo traveler - Pedro is an incredible caring and professional guide! Born and raised in São Miguel, he will show you the island like no one else! He has so many exciting stories about the island, you could go on a trip for days without being bored! The jeep is super-clean, comfortable, and safe. For the lunch, he brought me to a very nice local place. Other days, we just packed some sandwiches at a nearby bakery. We also grab some cups of coffee on the beach, facing the ocean. He knows hidden places no one knows and he is gifted to plan tailored experiences according to your wishes. Amongst all, Pedro is just an incredible human being. On one hand, we had very nice conversations, and on the other hand, he also respected my moments of silence, while we were, for example, admiring the landscapes. As a solo traveler, I felt super-safe and I trusted Pedro every step of the trip. Pedro is someone you can rely on, and he is very empathetic. He will be there for you and make you discover São Miguel the "true" way. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience 🙏 😊
