“If I could give our guide and this experience 10 STARS, I would! From the moment we were picked up, we all felt like we were with an old friend. Our guide was fabulous- personable, funny, very knowledgeable about the island and we learned alot about Azorean history and culture. We went all over Furnas, used the hot springs (OMG) we felt wonderful- the spa is very classy. The dinner was huge and very delicious. It was an excellent experience that I and my friends would do again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend”

Biologist-guided Furnas volcano and Terra Nostra gardens with cozido lunch, thermal pool, and optional pickup in Sao Miguel, Azores.
“I wish we were able to give this trip a better rating, but we were pretty disappointed with the overall experience. Our guide, Laura seemed to have been thrown into running the trip even though she was unprepared and had limited knowledge of the things we did. Our guide also didn't seem very interested in the trip and barely spoke with us despite several attempts from our end to get her to be more outgoing. The trip started a bit late as we had to drive and wait for a whale watching excursion to finish and that wasted a good bit of time. From there we drove to furnas lake…”

“I booked this trip. U had to met at a meeting point so I got up early to walk there. Was 20 mins early . Waited for about a hour. No one showed up, I asked all the vans that stopped there if they were waiting for me and nothing. Now trying to fight with them for a refund is getting to be a lot. So I would never book with this company again. Unless they actually finally give me a refund. I held off on writing this. But it’s been a week and half and nothing !!!”

Every kind of day out across the islands, and the best of each.
