An Excellent Tour! - Our day on Sao Miguel Island in the Azores with our knowledgeable guide Josef was one of the most enjoyable tours we have experienced. We are frequent travelers and I work in the travel industry so I am quite discerning. Josef was on time and picked us up in his 4 x 4 truck at the cruise terminal, then explained what we would see on the island. We went up into the mountains and viewed volcanoes, beautiful vistas, small towns, parks, thermal baths, and more. He speaks perfect English, is very thorough and descriptive, and as a lifelong resident offers a unique insight. We were back on the ship in plenty of time. Book his tour!

Definitely recommend - José was an amazing man, he provided information about the island and our journey throughout the tours. Gave us enough time to wander around at all the points of interest and even dropped me off at a nice sunset point even though it was out of his way. Definitely recommend this tour

Nice Day / Great Views - We visited Ponta Delgada via cruise ship. Jose, our guide picked us up right at the port and after picking up one other couple we traveled into the mountains to view the beautiful lakes and waterfall of the area. We finished up at a nice black sand beach where we saw a few surfers riding the waves.

Great tour and guide! - Our guide, Jose, was terrific! He was friendly, easy to talk to, and had a wide display of knowledge, from geographic to vegetation and farming, historical and political. And of course the volcanoes and their impact past and present.

Great trip on Sao Miguel - Spent the afternoon with Jose and despite the weather being cloudy we had a great time. We had already been on a few tours but had not been to this area yet. Jose took us on some back roads and his knowledge of the island is vast. He gave us a history lesson of the Azores which helped us to get a better understanding of what we’d seen this past week. Highly recommend spending a day with Jose to learn more about the island where he was born.

Spectacular tour with local expert - We loved our tour with Jose! He is an expert of Sao Miguel. We learned so much from him, from history to nature to geology, and got to see amazing sites along the way. I would recommend any tour with Jose, especially a full day if you have the time!
