Sete Cidades and Lagoa do Fogo were beautiful! And our driver did a great job navigating the dirt roads and traffic on the island. But we didn't get to explore Ribeira Grande, we just drove by the center of town and the driver pointed at it, we didn't even stop. Nor did we get to swim in or even see the waterfall at Caldeira Velha, we just drove by the entrance and weren't given an option to go, even at our own expense which we didn't mind paying for. And the tour ended an hour early, so it's not like we didn't have time for those two activities. Sao Miguel is a beautiful island, I just wish we would have done all the activities on the itinerary that we paid for.
