About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- X7578ENjo_om0 contributionsGreat day with friends!I don’t know what I enjoyed more—the wonderful views at every stop we made or the vast knowledge that Daniel shared with us throughout the trip. An incredible experience!Written 13 March 2025
- zsuzsannas9630 contributionsMariana is an excellent driver/guideI went on a 4x4 experience in Ponta Delgada as an excursion organised by Ambassador cruise ship Ambition. Mariana was an excellent driver and guide. I thoroughly enjoyed it.Written 9 March 2025
- amysR841FC0 contributionsHighly recommendedWould recommend this tour to anyone and everyone! We were visiting São Miguel with family and Daniel C. was an absolutely phenomenal tour guide. The weather was not in our favor that day, so the views were not as great as they could have been, but this tour was still the highlight of our week. Daniel is incredibly knowledgeable and taught us so much about the Azores. Don't hesitate to book a tour, but make sure you ask for Daniel.Written 8 March 2025
- 174bernyl0 contributionsA very positive review of Greenzone Azores tour companyWe would like to thank Greenzone Azores and our guide Daniel for an incredible experience while we were in the Azores. We hired Greenzone for two private tours that allowed us to see most of São Miguel. Our guide Daniel’s passion for the place and his job are clearly evident. He has tremendous knowledge of the island and its special places. We toured in a very rugged vehicle that allowed us to go places where most vehicles can't. Daniel has a very strong knowledge of and comfort in English. He was able to keep us away from other tourists so we could enjoy our solitude in these special places. Daniel was very attentive to our interests and needs. We received full value for what we paid and we highly recommend Greenzone Azores.Written 7 March 2025

- Patricia W0 contributionsJeep tour to Caldeira das see CidadesThis half day trip to the western volcanic region was well worth the time and money. Our guide was well informed about the sights, flora, fauna, and history. We toured in a jeep which allowed for us to travel where most vehicles couldn’t go. Loved the entire experience! We were lucky enough to be able to view several lakes in spite of the fog because the sun came out at just the right time!Written 2 March 2025
- colettel9670 contributionsPerfect trip exploring glorious Azores. The garden was the best!! We will carry the memories with us!Marcia was a wonderful guide! Made us feel comfortable and we could have fun and relax. The perfect combination of providing information and letting us chat and laugh.Written 21 February 2025
- LoriO240 contributionsSo excellent!Absolutely perfect day with Rickard! We had pretty decent weather and he was quick to switch up the sites when the rain moved in. He was an excellent driver and also told us so much about local Azores life. We not only saw so much, but we learned a ton! He was great to talk to and I loved all the info about the places we were seeing. Highly recommend this tour and try to get Rickard if you can!!Written 20 February 2025
- Linda H0 contributionsMarcio is the best!!Marcio was an amazing tour guide! We learned so much about the island! Marcio made our day great. We loved the gardens and lunch. We will definitely be back! Thank you Marcio!!Written 19 February 2025
- jimoK5774DD0 contributionsGreat tour with Eduardo!We were picked up at our rental and were given a quick description of the island before departure. Eduardo gave an expert running commentary and a personalized list of recommendations on the short drive to Sete Cidades. The tour in Sete Cidades was just what our group of five was looking for, with a good adventure, much of which a rental car could never do. Eduardo had us get out and explore at a few key spots, and we had a small break in little town of Lagoa Azul. A great overall tour with a great guide!Written 16 February 2025
- grahamp2600 contributionsSete Cidades & the west side of Sao MiguelReally enjoyable & informative tour with Eduardo (Eddy). Weather was mixed but we saw & learned lots. Highly recommendedWritten 14 February 2025

He was born on Sao Miguel and he knows it well!!Written 13 February 2025
- suesF3752ME0 contributionsGreat experience and went off the beaten path!We did the half day tour with Eduardo. He is a fabulous guide! We truly went off the beaten path! What an experience!

Ricardo picked us up at our hotel as planned, for a half-day tour of Sao Miguel’s Sete Cidades. His jeep was comfortable for the 4 of us. In Ricardo we had a guide who knows the Azores inside out, and is passionate about showing us and teaching us about the geography and natural history of his homeland. He took us to places off the beaten path that we wouldn’t have seen on our own. He was most generous with his time–we recommend him without reservation.

Fantastic, fun and informative tour into and around Sete Cidades. I was one of four passengers in a Land Rover. Our guide and driver explained everything in detail and had a great personality. It was a bit scary in spots due to the bad road, but the Land Rover was the perfect vehicle for the trip all the way around the mountain. Highly recommend!

A truly amazing experience! We saw some beautiful scenery and nature, and learnt so much about the Azores. The stops on the tour were perfect and included the famous two lakes and a small, pretty town where you can grab a quick drink. Marcio was a fantastic tour guide - a very kind man who had lots of knowledge about his home that he was clearly happy and proud to share with us, we could not have asked for a better tour guide! I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting São Miguel Island - it is so worth it!

Would 10/10 recommend taking this trip while in Sao Miguel. Our driver was amazing at giving us information about the island and its history. The views were absolutely breathtaking and we couldn’t recommend more.
note if you have a weak stomach to motion sickness, the ride gets quite bumpy so would consider taking a gravol beforehand

We took this half day Sete Cidades Crater tour while on a stopover in the Azores during our transatlantic cruise. Gui was a wonderful tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and took us to see some amazing sights. The scenery was breathtaking and he knew where we could get the best views. I would highly recommend Gui and this tour.
