O casal Santos decidiu ir por uns dias a São Miguel à descoberta! Mas esta viagem só foi uma verdadeira aventura porque tivemos a oportunidade de contactar com Denis Correia. A sua humildade, conhecimento da ilha, grande disponibilidade e simpatia foram os ingredientes necessários para fazer deste sonho uma realidade. Com ele ficamos a conhecer mais e melhor, a beleza natural e peculiar de São Miguel, bem como os seus tesouros/ património cultural.
“Magic Tours Sao Miguel”
We originally rented a car but found it difficult getting around and so decided to go with a tour and the Lince hotel suggested Magic Tours. We found Dennis to be a most informative, friendly person who knew the island of Sao Miguel extremely well. He brought us to beautiful and unique places that we would never have found on our own. From the authentic Portuguese lunches to the world class views of lakes and landscapes (not on the map) to his comfortable conversations, to one of a kind spots that were most enjoyable. Thank you Dennis. We highly recommend a tour with Magic Tours!!
“Great way to see Sao Miguel, Azores”
I had only a few days in the Azores, and arranged for a half day tour while staying on Sao Miguel. Dennis picked me up at my hotel in the morning, and asked me which sites I’d like to see. I’d already set it up to go to Lagao do Fogo, which comprised of visiting a ceramics factory and some site seeing at the lake. But Dennis asked if I’d rather go see the volcanic lakes at Sete Cidades, which is more nature-oriented. Ten minutes up the road, we turned the van around and headed up for the hills of the western part of the island. Great choice. Dennis was a boon companion and guide, explaining the customers, and place, and with the charm and demeanor of a friend, more than just a guide. It was a personalized tour that enriched my visit with a local touch. We drove high into the hills then down to Seste Cidades, had a great lunch and then drove back through the island. I highly recommend Dennis’ Magic Tour for Sao Miguel. Muito BEM!
O NOSSO AGRADECIMENTO AO DENIS,MARIA DE DEUS E NICOLAU PELOS BONS MOMENTOS QUE PASSAMOS EM S.MIGUEL
OS VOSSOS CONHECIMENTOS ,SIMPATIA E BOA DISPOSIÇÃO FIZERAM COM QUE ESTES DIAS FOSSEM INESQUECÍVEIS.
UM ABRAÇO
ANTÓNIO E SÃO
We had one day to spend touring San Miguel. We connected with Azores Magic Tours through our hotel. Dennis Correia met us promptly at 9:00 and the five of us headed out for an all-day tour of the southwest part of the island. The tour was very complete: pick de Carvao, Empadas Lakes, Vista do Rei, Lagos do Santiago, Cerrado, Fogo, and of corse, the stunning Sete Cidade. Midway through the tour, Dennis took us to a restaurant in Candelaria…it was the best Portuguese food we had during our 3 weeks in the islands. It was filled with locals so you knew it was genuine. At the end of the day, Dennis took us to a Tea Plantation that was not on this tour. Excellent tour and excellent customer service from Dennis.
Really enjoyed our trip to Furnas (50 euros). Our guide was charming and friendly.
We visited the chefs cooking stew in the hot volcanic soil, then swam in the gorgeous baths (2 euro entry) of naturally hot 35C water which was heavenly. It was raining but that made it even better – I suspect that in hot sunny weather it would not be as fun!
Next we had the traditional stew which was quite different to what we expected. 5 of us shared a big plate of it: chunks of beef, pork, chicken, chorizo, blood sausage and pigs trotters (we picked out our favourite bits!), yams, sweet potatoes, potatoes, carrots, green and white cabbage. It was quite plain in flavour (I was expecting something spicy) but definitely worth experiencing!
Then we visited the town of Furnas where the ground steams because of the volcano underneath! Pools of constantly boiling water bubbling away. It’s crazy to think people live there – if you’re feeling morbid, ask your guide if anyone has ever died here…
Lastly, we visited the tea plantation and enjoyed sampling the teas.
We had been worried because it was such a rainy day but this tour was the perfect option. Definitely recommend even if the weather is fine!
We booked a tour with Denis at Azores Magic Tours before we took our cruise and we are so glad we did. Denis was awesome! We had a 1/2 day tour for an amazing price and he aimed to please! It was a beautiful island and Denis was so friendly and informative. We are so glad we booked the tour with him and not the ship. He stopped at a great snack bar for lunch that had great prices too. He even stopped at the pineapple farm which wasn’t on the tour. We all had a great time and Denis went above and beyond to please us! Thanks so much Denis!
os nossos sinceros agradecimentos pelos vossos tours, simplesmente maravilhosos.
Um agradecimento muito sincero ao Claudio que nos acompanhou ás 7 Cidades , e ao Nicolau que nos guiou as Furnas e Nordeste . Um excelente serviço que recomendamos, muita simpatia e conhecimento histórico dessa maravilhosa ilha.
Um abraço , até sempre. Antonio Santos e Helena.
Many, many thanks for the wonderful service from Dennis and Nicholas! We shared many days of our two week vacation with them as they showed us the Seven Cities, Furnus and more. Both were also prompt and helpful with all of our transfers with clean vans and two baby seats for our twins. A special appreciation for their help, friendly attitude and big smiles. We would recommend Azores Magic Tours to anyone looking for a fun, relaxed way to view the island.
A visita aos Açores nomeadamente a São Miguel- Ponta Delgada não seria tão perfeita sem a preciosa ajuda do sr Denis Correia e também do Cláudio, que nos guiaram em 2 passeios fantásticos, através dos locais lindos e cheios de magia. Com os vossos conhecimentos, simpatia e cordialidade deram-nos a conhecer um pouco mais dessa linda terra que é um presente de Deus, tornando bem melhor a nossa estadia e aumentando o desejo de lá voltar. Sem duvida vou recomendar!

As first time visitors from Canada we had an awesome time with Denis. So knowledgeable and friendly. Answered all our silly questions. Great sense of humour. Til we meet again Denis… Thanks for the grand time. 🙂
Eu e uma amiga fizermos o tour das Sete Cidades e gostaria de agradecer à vossa empresa e ao senhor Nicolau (nosso guia) pela simpatia.
Foi uma pena o tempo não ter ajudado para podermos ver alguns dos locais do tour como a Lagoa das Sete Cidades…
De resto, as pessoas com que nos cruzámos (restaurante, Mulher do Capote) foram também muito simpáticas.
Certamente que voltarei um dia aos Açores e irei escolher outro dos vossos tours. Talvez o das Furnas, como o senhor Nicolau sugeriu e que nós acabamos por não fazer por apenas estarmos aí mais um dia.
O nosso agradecimento á Exma. Sr. Paula Correia, pelo magnifico Tour das Sete Cidades e lagoa do Fogo.
Bem como no 2º Dia ao Tour do Nordeste, embora com um bocadinho de chuva foi uma viagem maravilhosa na Companhia do Casal de Esposende que nos acompanhou e da nossa guia a Sr.ª Paula Correia, que nos levou a tudo onde podia e o tempo permitia.
No 3º dia, tivemos com guia o Exmo. Sr. Denis Correia que nos guiou as Furnas.
Um excelente serviço que recomendamos, muita simpatia e conhecimento histórico dessa maravilhosa ilha.
Um abraço , até sempre. Humberto e Dina Gomes.
Me, my best friend and our mums had 2 full-day excursions in Sao Miguel and we had the opportunity to meet Paula and Denis.
We had a fantastic time! They were funny, kind and highly professional!
We highly and heartly recommend them to all tourists visiting Azores.
Best wishes

Dennis is a wealth of knowledge about Sāo Miguel Island. His love of the island is infectious. He is one more reason to visit this incredible place.
