This has been by far one of the best tours I’ve ever had. Andre was extremely helpful and accommodating. He knows the Island very well and the tour was full of historical, cultural as well as fun facts about the Azores. Furthermore, every site we visited was beautiful and mind-blowing. Not disappointed at all. 10000 % recommend it.

This was my favourite tour of the ones I did while on the island. It packs in so many stops and they're all very different so it stays interesting throughout. Please note that the lunch isn't included in the price but the restaurant we were take to was great with several vegetarian options as well as the cozido and all drinks were included in the 15€ price. The hot springs and pineapple plantation were both highlights as well as the stop at Furnas lake for a short walk. We arrived back about 2 hours later than scheduled though and so did our friend's who did it the next day. I'd recommend all visitors take this tour if you want to see a huge amount of the island without feeling rushed.

I had such a wonderful time on this tour. The guide, Andre was so personable and so knowledgeable and he truly enjoys showing off his island and it shows. And he was able to answer all of the questions about anything island related. Such a wealth of knowledge. I could not have asked for a better experience. My favorite moments of the day were the hot baths and the pineapple farm. The island is beautiful with the colors shining bright throughout. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you Andre for such a wonderful day and such an amazing spirit!
