Guided Tours Sete Cidades and Lagoa do Fogo Full day

Posted By : 943sanazt
The tour was comprehensive and amazing! Our guide, Luisa, knew all the best places and most extraordinary viewpoints on the island. She was patient, knowledgeable, and very attentive. We got to see the highest spots and hidden gems around Sao Miguel. Would definitely recommend going on this fun journey for a day.

This tour itinerary has changed although it does not say that on the website or in the initial booking information. There is significant walking uphill now with the addition of the waterfall stop and the relaxing hot springs are no longer visited. With good weather the views of the lakes at Sete Cidades are breathtaking but there are crowds of people everywhere. Buffet lunch was varied and interesting but again very crowded.

Company changed the tour itinerary without informing us, so we missed the thermal pool, Santa Barbara beach and vine making place

I did A LOT of research on different tour companies/Sete Cidades tours, trying to find a tour that would suit me and what I wanted to see - this one fit my criteria in terms of viewpoints, group size, and good reviews ... although they need to update their website as a few of the spots they listed as stops have apparently since been dropped... Caldeira Velha, the liquor factory, and the pineapple plantation are no longer stops on this tour. It was a long day so I understand why they needed to tighten up the itinerary... but to avoid disappointing people (and awkwardness with the poor guide), they really should update their info :) I also didn't get any response to my email inquiries until after I had booked the tour... I almost ended up choosing another company because of the lack of response, but I am glad I persisted.

The tour itself was excellent. Filipe was a wonderful guide: very informative, kind, and engaged with the group. He also did a nice job introducing everyone to each other which was appreciated :) . Lunch was buffet style and provided a variety of options (mostly meat and fish), and also included tea, coffee, wine (pineapple juice in my case :) ), and a dessert (biscuit cake or rice pudding were our options). It seemed like a lot of tours stopped there, because it was quite chaotic and busy when we arrived. While I was a bit disappointed that we didn't end up going to some of the stops listed on their site, in the end I had a great time and I am glad he switched up the schedule a bit so that we were able to see Sete Cidades with blue skies. We were given enough time at each stop, and I liked that we had a chance to walk to some of the points instead of just hopping in and out of the van... the walk to Miradouro Boca do Inferno was really lovely. And that was my favourite viewpoint as well!

Great tour. Very nice and very educated guide.
Very inexpensive for all that you received . Included buffet lunch.
Would definitively recommend .
We were thinking of renting a car, but decided to do the east, the west and the Furnas Night tour with this company. So glad we did it this way. Saw the whole island with great info and no worries with driving. ( Some roads were closed and of course our guide new how to get to the scenic areas. The people that rented a car were having problems with this.

Our guide Phillip is the best. He is such a kind and considerate gentleman. He provided all the historical and relevant information on the way. Really appreciated.

Beautiful nature, stunning views, but we couldn’t go to the hot springs because of the rain. Our tour guide was very nice, seemed to know everything about the island, we liked the tour

It was such a nice day. Pick up at the hotel wich was nice because you didn't had to rush in the morning. It was an relaxed day with Bruno and really had a great time. Also because Bruno is such a nice person and we laughed the whole day. Didn't feel like we rushed things and we could see things at our own pace. Bruno told us a lot about the island and he probably knows everything. Just ask him! I would recommend this tour with Bruno to anyone!

Bruno is an amazing tour guide and a really nice person. I really liked the peaceful tour with all the most beautiful places across the island. You definitely should choose him to go find amazing spots. He is also a very good photographer so he may take you a great facebook profile picture for your life ;) hehe. Highly recommend him!
