Guia muito simpático em tour completo Fizemos um tour bastante completo, e que se foi adaptando ao tempo meteorológico. O guia foi amável, discreto, interessante e sempre agradável. Passamos um dia excelente, aprendemos muito, vimos muito e adoramos a simpatia do nosso guia-acompanhante-choffer-etc… Totalmente recomendável. A simpatia do guia não foi em nenhum momento forçada ou “comercial”, mas sim natural e agradece -se muito numa viagem assim! Obrigada pela excelente experiência proporcionada!!

Fizemos esta tour depois de uma boa experiência na tarde anterior (Sete Cidades), por isso a simpatia já era conhecida. Neste dia, com um tempo mais seco, tornou-se ainda mais agradável visitar a ilha de São Miguel com a simpatia, atenção e disponibilidade do Miguel! Recomendado a qualquer visitante!
embora o tempo não tivesse ajudado, e para compensar este imponderável até tivemos direito a uma ida extra ao Mercado de Ponta Delgada! O Miguel foi muito simpático, atencioso, e sempre com muita disponibilidade! Recomendado!

Reservar as nossas excursões com a Azores Dream Tours, foi simplesmente a melhor coisa que poderiamos ter feito. Poupámos bastante tempo e evitámos as preocupações e os perigos inerentes ao aluguer de um carro (a nossa primeira opção). Para além de termos aprendido imenso sobre a ilha, a sua história e curiosidades, o que não teria sido possível sem a presença destes fantásticos Guias. O Miguel e a Hélia que nos acompanharam em diferentes dias são excelentes profissionais, com um conhecimento enorme, flexíveis, humildes e de uma simpatia imensa, o que contribuiu imenso para o nosso conforto e para o sucesso dos passeios. Foram nos disponibilizadas toalhas, chapéus de chuva e garrafas de água. A atenção e a personalização do serviço foi sem dúvida a chave.
Para os que quiserem conhecer a Ilha de São Miguel, recomendo vivamente a realização de 2 passeios Full Day ou 1 passeio Full Day + 2 Half Day, como nós fizemos. Conhecemos as Furnas e provámos o típico cozido confecionado na cratera do vulcão; desfrutámos de uma experiência termal incrível na Poça de Dona Beija e no Parque Terra Nostra; visitámos os emblemáticos miradouros de onde pudemos observar a Lagoa do Fogo, a Lagoa das Sete Cidades, a praia de Vila do Campo e as belíssimas paisagens da ilha; visitámos a primeira fábrica de chá da Europa – a Gorreana – onde nos foi possível efetuar também uma degustação; contemplámos de perto a famosa cascata da Ribeira dos Caldeirões e ainda visitámos a Fábrica de Cerâmica Vieira e uma das famosas estufas de Ananases – a que fica localizada em Fajã de Baixo.
Em suma, as nossas expectativas foram completamente alcançadas ou até ultrapassadas. Não poderiamos ter usufruido melhor da nossa curta estadia em São Miguel, uma ilha tão bonita e à qual iremos com certeza voltar. Obrigada!

Reservamos 2 excursões na Azores Dream Tours (7 cidades/lagoa do fogo e furnas/nordeste) e foram os melhores dias da nossa estadia em São Miguel.
Vistas incríveis, locais magníficos, sempre acompanhados pela simpatia e disponibilidade dos nossos guias, Vera e Gonçalo.
Foi uma forma magnífica de conhecer esta linda ilha, a sua história e lendas e os seus recantos e encantos.
Serão vivamente recomendados por nós e a nossa escolha para uma próxima visita.
