My husband and I have lived in São Miguel for over two years already and have seen a good bit of the island already. But I’m kicking myself that we didn’t do this tour sooner because we saw things that we would have loved to show people who have visited us. And we would have sent some of our visitors on this very tour. I’ve been on a lot of tours throughout the islands and this was one of the best. The guides were knowledgeable and personable. And the route they took us on was fun (for driving) and stunning (for views). This is one to repeat! And we’ll be sending future visitors on this tour.Excellent tour, our guide was very knowledgeable about the geography of the volcano and local legends! Tour was well paced and takes you from oceanside to the rim pf a volcano. Incredible views!
