Recommended! - An unforgettable tour with unique insights! The full-day tour was a real highlight! In addition to the well-known sights, we also visited local spots that had a special charm and allowed us an authentic insight into the region. Our guide Helena was simply fantastic – with a lot of wit, charm and warmth she made the tour a positive experience. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and her extensive knowledge of history has enriched the journey incredibly. Especially valuable were the numerous tips for the further stay. This tour is highly recommended for anyone looking for something special and want to experience more than just the standard tourist resorts! Thank you for this wonderful experience!

A Great Time! - Got to see some beautiful sights and have a delicious lunch, Helena was the best guide! She taught us so much about the local culture and what life is like here, I feel like we really gained a deeper understanding of Azorean life and culture from her.

Great! - In October, I had the pleasure of taking the East Side Tour of São Miguel in the Azores with my mum to celebrate her 50th birthday, and it was amazing. Joao, our guide, went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. His deep knowledge of the island, combined with his warm and engaging personality, made the day so special. Thank you 😊!

An unforgettable tour, not to be missed. - I highly recommend going on this tour. Our tour guide Joao was absolutely amazing. He explained everything to us in a very informative but lighthearted manner. He has a great sense if humour and lunch provided was delicious. The scenery is out of this world. You will not be disappointed.
