Overall Ratings

On this trip you will be able to clearly see and even smell the volcanic origin of the islands! The valley of Furnas impresses especially by the many contrasts ... the most beautiful fertile landscapes, lush vegetation and hot, sulphurous springs. Let yourself be carried away in the contrasting landscapes of São Miguel ... In Furnas you have about 2 hours at leisure - try the typical dish of the region, the "Cozido das Furnas" and / or visit the magnificent Terra Nostra Park with the famous thermal pool (Admission 8.00 €). At the end of the tour we visit the tea plantations. In the traditional walls of the tea factory you will taste the local tea and you will learn more about the tea production.
Inclusions: Air-conditioned vehicle, Bottled water
Exclusions: Lunch, Entrance to Terra Nostra Park

This tour was the best thing we could have done on our trip. Josef answered the phone himself when I called and we were so happy he was available to take us on a tour. There were six of us and we were so comfortable in his clean Mercedes Touring van. He was an expert driver (a must on these narrow, steep roads) and was so knowledgeable about everything we asked about on the island. I seriously cannot say enough good things about him. We never would have been able to see everything we saw today without him. If you only have a short amount of time to see all the amazing sights and vistas, hire him immediately. The experience he gave us today was priceless. He also will accommodate everything you ask for. He can do it all!! We wanted to have a local lunch and he found the most magical place for us where only the locals were. It was an amazing buffet lunch and nothing has ever tasted better in my life. We wanted to go to the lakes, the thermal pools and the ocean and he took us to all of them and MORE! We also got taken to the beach to an amazing little place called Tuka Tula where everyone knew him and was teasing him and we had lovely drinks. We never would have found this place without him, or been treated so well. We tried all the local Azores liquors at the Mulher de Capote, and soaked in the in the warm waters of the Termas de Ferraria (AMAZING!!!). He is also very funny and has a great sense of humor and was very entertaining. I would give it 50 stars if I could.
