Our tour guide Vera was an amazing tour guide stopping at all of the tourist spots on the eastern part of the island. The Poca da Dona Beija is a must see as well as the Furnas where they cook the stew lunch in the volcano. Fabulous day would recommend if visiting St. Miguel for a short time especially.

Definitely book this tour! They picked us up in Lagoa at our hotel and the whole trip was amazing. We stopped at the best viewpoints, got to see where the cozido is boiled at the Furnas and had spent over an hour in the Terra Nostra Park where we got to swim in the hot springs. After that we had lunch at one of the most popular cozido restaurants in Furnas. Our tour guide was super friendly, very knowledgeable and very accommodating also. I am here on my honeymoon and have never been to the Azores and this was a PERFECT way to see so many places I might not otherwise see or be able to drive to. It is a long day but it is worth it!
