Experienced guide and driver - What a beautiful tour of West San Miguel Island we did today! Eight busy hours with João! In addition to being an excellent driver and introducing us to the most beautiful panoramas of the island, he is an experience guide who knows his subjects thoroughly, both the history of the Azores, as well as geology, botany, etc. He answers all our questions, and knows how to entertain the band with humor and sensitivity (his musical knowledge moved me) Thank you João for this exceptional day!

Awesome experience!... - Awesome experience! Goncalo was a great tour guide and was full of jokes all day long - super entertaining day in addition to gorgeous sights! It was also super nice having Goncalo personalize the tour a bit by showing us his neighborhood and even introducing us to his mom! Met great people on this tour and would highly recommend!

Must do! Great experience! - This is the best way to see the west part of the island. The guide was excellent with a super funny dry sense of humor. Our teenagers wanted to stop at the beach and have a dip and the guide accommodated no problem. The others on the tour were friendly and personable and had a go with the flow attitude. We would absolutely do this again!

Sao Miguel west - I think it all depends on who is your guide: Ours was not good at all , instead of providing us with meaningful info, all he did most of the times, was hitting on young girls. They didn’t mind , but this tour turned into Instagram, TikTok and some other absolutely useless content. This is very disappointing considering it was the the only tour we’ve booked and we’re looking forward to learn more about the island. As far as lunch: they bring to this buffer place, at this was the world food we’ve tried in Madeira, Azores and main land . I understand it must be some business relationship between the owner and tour operator ,however, we really expected better food. I would NOT recommend
