My friend and I had a blast with Sabrina on our private tours in Sao Miguel. She was patient, fun and helpful on both trips (Furnac and Sete Cidades) It felt as though she was also on vacation with us. She was our driver, tour guide and photographer. We searched everywhere for passion fruit ice cream and Sabrina found it for us at the end of our tour...that was a perfect end. Can't wait to visit Sao Miguel and connect with her again. We highly recommend her for tours in Sao Miguel. She is very knowledgeable, fun and full of ideas for the tours.

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.

Went on three different tours with Andre. All of them exceeded expectations. What a wonderful experience! When the weather didn't cooperate, Andre always had a back up plan that never ceased to amaze. Can't say enough good things about him, his depth of knowledge and this company. It really meant a lot to us that Andre was able to encourperate a short stop at my Mother's village, a place she hadn't been in about 65 yrs. He is part of our family now! Obrigad Andre and BigBlue!

The plantation is beautiful and the information regarding the process is educational. However, the experience only took around 15 minutes. There was no speaker or guide and the equipment was not running when we were there.

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
Exclusions:
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!
