Delfim the guide is great. He is very friendly, funny, on-time, knows the area, plans a fun trip and makes sure everyone is ok and happy. We loved the time getting off the main roads and exploring the hard to get to places of the island. Beautiful views and exhilarating experiences. Thanks again to Alice and Delfim.

I have been to over 75 countries and I can definitely say that I had the most amazing experiences in Sao Miguel with this company. I ended up being alone on my tours, we did the Nordeste and then the Lago do Fogo and eastern part of the island with Sete Cidades. Filipe was the most wonderful guide and companion any visitor could ever ask for. Very knowledgeable about his land, a true native of the Acores, he knew where to take me for the best shots, views, and hikes, and always maintained a good spirit even if the weather wasn't always perfect. I wish I would have time to do more hiking trips with his company, it was truly a lovely experience getting to know the beautiful island of Sao Miguel with Filipe. Highly recommended, if you go to the Acores, ask for a tour with Filipe!!

Words cannot express, how much we loved touring around Sao Miguel with Funtastic Azores. Both Paulo and Marco were amazing guides and did more than expected. Sao Miguel was truly fantastic and even better because of them. Thank you Paulo for organizing everything and I cannot recommend your company enough! Their tours are by far the best way to get to know Sao Miguel!
