    Joao was an amazing tour guide! We saw and learned so much about the beautiful Azores. Lunch was excellent (esp with a dietary restriction)! Joao led a wonderful tour and even helped us take some beautiful photos! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the island.

    Joao was an amazing tour guide! He was thoughtful, tailored information to our interests, and made us feel very comfortable and safe. Would highly recommend if you want to get off the beaten path and immerse yourself in incredible culture and nature.

    We had a great western island tour with Carlos. He was knowledgeable, easy going, flexible, patient, and never once tried to rush us during the tour. We felt so comfortable with him that we booked the eastern island tour with him for the next day. We thoroughly enjoyed both days and have learnt so much about the Azores. Thank you Carlos.

    Jose is an outstanding local guide. His in-depth knowledge gave us insight into the history, culture and wonderful nature of Sao Miguel. We explored the Furnas area and had amazing time experiencing the thermal pools, tasting cozido cuisine and sampling tea and mineral doing waters. Thank You Jose for a memorable day!

    We had the best day with Marica and Felipe. Very pleasant and informative. A husband and wife team who know the island extremely well. We got a very complete tour with history bits, nature information, comfortable and clean ride for the family. We felt like we were hanging out with local friends who were showing us the best of the island. We highly recommend them for a fantastic day in São-Miguel.

    This was an all day tour (7 hours). We joined two other couples as Jose took us all around the island including the craters as well as the upper ridges of the volcanoes.

    Jose stopped at prime locations for pictures and conversation. We enjoyed lunch which he arranged at a local restaurant.

    MOST impressive was Jose's knowledge. He was a combination of historian, botanist, and geologist! A FOUNTAIN of information!

    Amazing orgnization, safe, great spots, time to walk around, photos and food. Great guide, Luis, thank you!! Super knowledgable, helpful and kind. Lunch was a buffet with some meet, fish, veggies and amazing desert. You won't leave hungry. Bring gloves, we got some for 3eur in decathlon, they served perfectly. We drove partly on the road and mostly off road, many sports that are not reachable by an average rented car and you can see loads when not enough time for hiking. We were hesitant if to go for half or full day but this one was amazing, we were back around 16:30 and passed by an amazing sunset recommended by Luis.

    Absolutely amazing experience with Carlos! He is very polite, friendly, very experienced with driving off road in wet conditions and he is very knowledgeable about the area! We booked him originally for 1 day but had so much fun that we added two more days. We were in Sao Miguel Azores for 6 days and spent every other day with Carlos. We saw all the major sites and some hidden gems that you can only visit via off road. He was flexible in picking and dropping us off. He almost spend 9-12 hours a day with us showing all the places we wanted to see and he thought would be great. His English is great and he he is passionate about his work and it shows. We saw so many crater lakes, beaches, lighthouses, stopped at famous and locally loved bakeries. We went to north, nordeast and the coast all around.

    Hugo was a wonderful guide on our full day tour - very knowledgeable, courteous and happy to accommodate our requests. Pick-up and drop off were right on time in a small, clean van. There were lots of stops, including a generous lunch (optional at own cost) at a small locally owned restaurant. The tour provided a wide variety of sights including the north and west, where we drove to the highest peak and felt the full force of a cold wind and the lowest warmer valley where we saw a beautiful waterfall and then Surfer's Beach. . Although the famous, colourful hydrangeas were long past their prime, we saw a large variety of plants, and miles of lush green countryside. A wonderful way to see lots of the island in one short day. This tour would easily accommodate anyone with basic fitness levels. You will experience a variety of weather conditions, so I would suggest dressing in layers. To sum it up, our guide described his island as a cross between Hawaii and Ireland and I would tend to agree!

    Eduardo picked us up on time at the cruise ship port and took us on a fabulous full day tour. He was well informed and obviously very familiar with the tour area. He adjusted the sequence of our tour by closely monitoring the weather and we avoided the rain in every stop we made. We stopped for an excellent buffet lunch and avoided the big cruise ship crowds as much as possible. 5 star service by Eduardo, kudos to Into the Wild!!

    An outstanding trip that I'd fully recommend. The guide was excellent, with loads of knowledge and information shared. Going by jeep to Sete Cidades was amazing as he took us off road, rewarding us with breathtaking views. There was also a short stop in the village and photo opportunities whenever we wanted. Thank you to the team and particularly the guide, Hugo!
