Fantastic tour - Fantastic tour. We saw all of the major attractions in one day. Carlos was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge is second to none, and his general knowledge about the Azores is brilliant. I would certainly recommend.

Great tour, great driver - Carlos was great, it was like he had an encyclopedia in his head regarding the attractions on Sao Miguel and the history of Portugal. He had a great personality, perfect English and made sure we saw everything we wanted to see without rushing us through anything. We would 100% recommend this tour.

One day tour with Carlos - We did a full circle tour of the island with Carlos, and it was absolutely amazing! He picked us up promptly from the airport we were impressed by his deep knowledge and passion for the island. Carlos knows the history, the hidden gems, and the best spots for breathtaking views.He was incredibly engaging throughout the tour not just with the adults, but with the kids too! They loved him, and he kept them involved and entertained the whole time. If you're short on time and want to make the most of your visit, Carlos is the person. We HIGHLY recommend him! Don’t look any further—you won’t regret it!

Greatest tour in Ponta Delgada - Carlos is an extremely knowledgeable guide, a gentleman and a provider of world class customer service. We thoroughly enjoyed his tour and highly recommend him for a tour of the entire island. Well spoken and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

A terrific guide for a wonderful island! - Talking with Carlos. We don't travel for sights, but to learn about contemporary conditions where we're visiting. Carlos is one of the most knowledgable guides we've ever had, anywhere in the world.

Wonderful custom day - Carlos was friendly and great with our 2 and 5 year old girls. Car seats were ready to go for them and he even buckled them in for us which helped us get settled quickly as we had such a short time on the island during a cruise port stop. Carlos’s was knowledgeable and gave us historical and current affairs information.
We stopped at a view point with a chapen on the hill and our girls loved seeing the cats who live there. Carlos came prepared with cat food for them to feed the cats! He was flexible and allowed our kids to be kids. We also enjoyed learning about his life and his kids, as well.
We appreciated the flexibility of picking and choosing what to see and do and would definitely book with Carlos again!

A Fantastic, Friendly, and Unforgettable Tour - A truly personalized full day tour of the island, with breathtaking views and fascinating historical insight that truly blew us away. On top of it all, my fiancee and I are expecting our first child on July, and it's not an exaggeration to say that every comfort and consideration was made available to her every step of the way. Cannot recommend highly enough!
