Gary Travassos is the best! He is a wonderful fellow, as well as most knowledgeable, prompt, courteous. His prices are very reasonable and the vehicle was clean and comfortable.

Our group of 4 had an outstanding tour by Carlos of Furnas Crater Lake & Fire Crater Lake (unfortunately the later was not visible due to clouds so we went to an alternative water fall and park which was wonderful). Gary was very responsive in coordinating the tour, and Carlos did an excellent job of guiding us around Sao Miguel.... More

As previous reviewers have noted, his knowledge and pride in San Miguel is obvious and we could not... More
