I did find the service comfortable and it seems to go "everywhere" in Ponta Delgada... But despite the advert they do have only one trip per hour... but it is plenty as both ways I was alone in the bus...

I booked a last minute tour with Miguel for a private visit of the Island and it was just wonderful! He was very accommodating, lovely to talk to and willing to make the experience as nice as possible for the client. I had a few places in mind I really wanted to visit and he managed to find a way to take me to all of them. He is also very knowledgeable about the island and had a few anecdotes in his sleeves ;) I truly cannot recommend him enough and will definitely call him again whenever I come back to Ponta Delgada.

Artur was the friendliest guide you can imagine! I highly recommend the tour to Nordeste, with lots of stops at cool spots, beautiful viewpoints, parks etc. If you're looking for some time away from the crowds at P.D. + want to experience the rural/more native Azores: go north!

We picked the all-in-one tour which included Twin Lakes, fire Lakes and furnas. We were greeted at the cruise ship terminal with our name on a board. After everyone arrived we took off in a van and proceeded to sightsee this Island. Besides the beauty of the island one thing that stood out to us was how clean it was, we did not see any litter on the highway,roads or anywhere. We spent the day zipping here and there giving us enough time to get out and look around at each stop. Now that we have seen the island if we ever go back we would like to just strictly go to the hot springs/bath and enjoy a meal that has been cooked in the ground. Their van was comfortable and tour guides were pleasant and happily answered any questions asked.

Enjoy our Jeep Tour full of natural beauty and lush vegetation, situated in the most rugged part of the island. This region reflects well the magnificence of the nature of this island, as is visible on the various viewpoints that emerge along the coast such as Ponta do Sossego, Ponta da Madrugada, Tronqueira or the Arnel Lighthouse, among many other special places.

We really enjoy this trip ! The guide, Luis, is very nice. He can speak a bit french too which was very helpful. The tour allows you to enjoy a lot of landscapes and some adrenaline too. More in the morning than the afternoon (do not hesitate to take the wine for lunch then !) I would definitely recommend it.

Spend a day exploring hidden gems of São Miguel Island, away from the big crowds! The island of São Miguel is beautiful everywhere and has a lot to see besides the super famous attractions. Tour in comfort by minivan in a small group led by an expert guide. Drive through the quiet roads of the inner island surrounded by forests and green pastures. See the native vegetation of the Azores in well-preserved areas and learn about their uses in the early history of the islands. From ample views from mountain tops, to waterfalls, cliffs, a small lake, this tour goes to many amazing places that are not part of the main tourist itineraries. This tour is accessible to everyone and doesn’t require difficult walks.

Inclusions: Lunch included with drinks, dessert and espresso

Loved our Hidden Gems tour so much we ended up scrapping our other plans last minute in order to add the East Tour including Furnas w/ lunch tour. As always, the tour guides (we had Filipe on one tour and Miguel on the other) are very knowledgeable, speak fluent English, are super friendly, and really go above and beyond (like they'll carry your babies for you. Seriously). The vans are spacious and comfortable, the prices are more than reasonable, and the sights you will see are priceless. I cannot say enough good things about these tours- a great way to see the island, learn something about its history and culture, take in breathtaking scenery and to just RELAX!
