We had 2 tours with Get Your Guide and the guide was the same - Hugo. We spent an excellent time. Hugo has a great knowledge of Azores, we leaned a lot about islands. Time was well managed, we had enough time to see everything without rush. The choice of local restaurants for lunch was very good! Thank you.

Whale trip was great, very knowledgeable, we saw lots of dolphins and a whale! Can get a bit choppy, bring your sea legs. The tour with Hugo was A++, absolutely perfect. Very knowledgeable of the island, perfect English spoken, lunch was amazing. Couldn't recommend this trip any more, just perfect.

There were two different providers. The whale watching tour was very hectic and unfortunately we couldn't really see whales. The boat trip was still fun. At the end the boat went to a dolphin school. So we saw at least a few more animals Guides, on the other hand, were very attentive. People were informed in many languages. We can give 3 thumbs up for the volcano tour by Green Visions. The guide's knowledge of history and biology was very impressive. Since we were alone, we had an exclusive tour. Lunch at Carlos' was fantastic, we felt very well taken care of by our guide, and we can only recommend this tour
