Foi uma excursão incrível!
Em um dia conseguimos conhecer os pontos principais da ilha de São Miguel e ainda comemos o melhor cozido do mundo!
Não tivemos que nos preocupar com nada, o guia levou-nos aos melhores pontos da ilha e ainda nos contou toda a história relacionada com a ilha.
Foi uma viagem cultural incrível (o guia é uma pessoa que tem uma cultura a cima da média sobre a história dos locais incríveis de São Miguel).
Recomendo, sem dúvida, esta excursão ... tornou a minha viagem incrível!

We initially thought to rent a car and explore the island by ourselves, but so glad we didn't do it.
Leoncio was our guide and he was exceptional. He picked us up at 9am sharp from the front of the hotel and we had an extensive tour of this gorgeous island.He brought us to places that we would not even found out about. The trip was incredible. Leoncio is a very knowledgeable guide, very proud of his island and he showed us so many beautiful places.We had a great lunch in Furnas and then as the weather was getting rainy, he did us a tour of the city.
I can't recommend this trip enough!!!!!Book it!! You will have great memories.
