It is possible to find genuine handicrafts and delicious gastronomy here which you can see and taste at your stop in Nordeste village.

Our tour to Nordeste and the waterfalls of the eastern areas of Sao Miguel Island was absolutely wonderful !! Our guide, Hugo M, was great. Friendly and fun, full of information. Makes sure his travelers are taken good care of! The scenery everywhere was spectacular and the lunch of fresh, local foods was delicious! Totally recommend…you will not be disappointed.

The tour showed us many hidden and beautiful aspects of Sao Miguel. It is a tour well worth taking in addition to the other "must do" excursions, and complemented our 4 day visit to the island. I really recommend the route and the helpful and knowledgeable guide who went the extra mile to show us as much as possible.

We went to the Azores with Mein Schiff3, unfortunately there were no more excursions available through TUI Cruise. Thank God we had a fantastic tour with wonderful impressions through Get your Guide with our guide Hugo Melo, who presented his island with body and soul. We fell in love with the island of Sao Miguel and will visit it again for a holiday. The lunch was excellent with the locals with many delicious specialties and local drinks. The only tea plantation in Europe was well worth seeing and interesting and was explained to us in great detail and we tasted and bought green tea, with the tour guide helping us very nicely. I can only recommend Get your Guide and will book the next tour there again.
