Our guide Gabriele treated us to a fantastic day. The pick-up was on time and he made us feel welcome immediately. I liked that he took the time to learn a little about all the tour guests and encouraged conversation between everyone. The highlight of the trip for us was the botanical gardens. Lunch was interesting but could have included more veggies. I would recommend this tour especially with Gabriele as your guide!

Eduardo is the best guide I’ve ever met, and I do tra el quite a lot. He is so kind, competent, friendly, he even made us visit some secret spots and made us experience taking the cozido out from its hole on the ground. So amazing! We had a lovely day, I highly suggest this trip: it was so awesome and interesting!

The tour was very well-organised and we had the chance the visit spectacular places with an authentic and well-prepared local guide. Our tour guide, José drove us along many of the unique and amazing spectacles of the island of São Miguel that would be more complicate to find on one’s own. We had sufficient time to enjoy the view and to take advantage of the places. Thanks to our friendly and proficient guide, we could learn new things about the places we visited and the island in general. We had a great day.
