Achieving the WOW Factor! - In addition to the traditional type of tour, our guide, Gabriel, went the extra mile taking us to very unique locations not normally seen by most. His knowledge and language skills added to our total enjoyment.

Exceptional - We enjoyed a magnificent day on the island of São Miguel. We visited the 7cidades lagoons and snorkeled in a natural volcanic pool. Our guide was fantastic and made us feel very safe.
Organize everything with Azores Islands Experience, they are TOP!!!

Beautiful views and super friendly people - Gabriel was the BEST guide! We learned so much about life on the island and saw magnificent views and the hydrangeas lining the road were impressive even though they weren’t all in bloom.
Having a guide in a nice car with just our group allowed us to ask a lot of questions and get a first hand perspective from someone who has lived there most of his life

Great half-day tour - Gabriel was awesome! We really enjoyed our sight-seeing tour. The views and scenery of the lakes and towns were incredible. Gabriel was very knowledgeable about the natural and human history of the Azores and provided us with lots of interesting information throughout the tour. Also the vehicle was very comfortable. The abandoned Monte Palace hotel was a highlight, with spectacular views

What a Country! - Our guide, Gabriele, knew and took us to the best spots on the island. He was a fun guy to be with. We were good friends by the end of the tour.
I can't describe the scenery as I couldn't do it justice. You have to see it for yourself.
