Fun experience jammed into one day

Published on Sep, 2024

Fun guide fun group. Booked it day before because we didn’t want to rent a car on tight streets. It was awesome. Professional local and fun driver.

An amazing tour with Joao!

Published on Sep, 2024

I went with three of my friends on a northeastern tour around the east circle and Furnas volcano, and it was one of our favorite experiences! Joao was an amazing tour guide; he was incredibly knowledgable and funny. We had a lot of laughs in our group, and it made the tour one of the best ones I have been on. I definitely will visit again!

Best times

Published on Sep, 2024

We had an amazing time on our tour with Join Tinerary! Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also funny, making the experience even more enjoyable. The views were breathtaking, especially from the Miradouro de Santa Iria. The stop at the Gorreana Tea Factory was great – we loved the free tea! He was super helpful with taking our photos, and the warm water at the thermal baths was perfect for a relaxing swim. Every stop was well planned, and we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Highly recommend this tour!

Great experience

Great tour and tour guide! Was a really fun experience. The small tour group size is ideal for solo travellers as you get to meet people.
