Our guide, Antonio from Pro Island Tours, provided an incredible afternoon. My cousin and I had a personalized experience that catered to our interests. We visited hidden gems that were uncrowded and visually stunning. One highlight was an amazing lava tube—though I couldn't share photos, it was truly unforgettable. Antonio was a gracious, friendly, and knowledgeable host. I highly recommend this tour.
We requested a private tour in Spanish, and it turned out fantastic with just the two of us. Dora was exceptional—very knowledgeable and engaging. He spoke excellent Spanish and shared interesting facts about the island, its customs, and volcanoes. We truly enjoyed our time with him.
This was an extraordinary experience that was both interesting and beautiful. Vanessa was kind and took great care of the entire group.
I had an amazing time on this tour. Our guides, Dora and Bernardo, were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and professional. Dora, who drove the Jeep, shared her passion for the island and its culture with us. Be aware that the journey to the caves involves riding in a Jeep, and those in the back seat should expect a bumpy trip on rough roads. The lava tube at Biscoitos could be challenging for individuals with limited mobility. Aside from that, it's a fantastic tour.
This tour was incredibly fascinating. Bernardo guided us to some captivating 'secret' caves and his enthusiasm for the island truly shone through, even on a less-than-ideal afternoon. I highly recommend it.
We had an incredible experience. Our guide was exceptional, full of knowledge, and very accommodating, making the tour enjoyable and entertaining.
Bernardo arrived on time to pick us up from our VRBO and offered us various options for our itinerary due to the rain. We discovered and learned about the island in ways we wouldn't have without this tour. Although we were disappointed that the main cave was closed, we were aware of this before booking. I highly recommend both the tour and Bernardo.
The tour was fantastic, despite the weather not cooperating. We visited Gruta do Natal, the Furnas do Enxofre fumarole field, and even took an unplanned drive to a small lagoon. Unfortunately, Algar do Carvão was off the itinerary as it was still closed. Our guide shared plenty of interesting information, and we really enjoyed ourselves.
This tour was fantastic. The guide was extremely knowledgeable, and since it was just the two of us, it felt like a VIP experience. We explored a cave typically closed to the public, allowing us to see it in its natural state.
Bernardo was an excellent guide. Two of the caves require an entrance fee, but they are still impressive sites. I would definitely recommend this experience.
