Great half day tour of the west end of the island
Great overall tour of the west end of the island. Felipe was an excellent guide. Was easy to find him and communication was great. He took us in his 4x4 truck around the rim of the crater for some awesome views. The dirt road was very rough in places and not suited if you have back issues. We then drove to a village and to Sete Cidades where we stopped for a restroom break and snacks if we wanted to purchase. Continued the drive around the lake and across the bridge and stopped at a few more viewpoints on our way back to town. He offered to drop us off back at the ship or in town if we liked. Would recommend, the only thing missing was the bright sunny skies that would have given us the blue and green colors of the lakes.

Great tour despite windy weather
Great Tour with a local. Accommodated our request for a short hike and chose a fantastic, scenic short trail well suited to our abilities. Great lunch included at his family's restaurant with amazing view over the north coast. Lovely guide. Would certainly recommend this tour!

Private tour.
It was a great tour to the volcanic lakes, and our guide was Eduardo who really made the experience worth while. He was really passionate about his Island and the knowledge he shared was evident of that. And being in a Land Rover for the tour was really exciting.

Great private tour!
This is a private tour and well worth the money. It was much easier to see the various sites around the island than with a larger group. Plus we could provide input on what we wanted to see. Joao was a very pleasant guide and we enjoyed our conversation with him about life on the island. Definitely recommend!

Outstanding tour in Ponta Delgada!
We had an amazing day thanks to our tour guide Rita! The weather was foggy & rainy but she tried her best to keep returning to the best views for pictures. We then had an amazing lunch of octopus , limpets & wine & she joined us at our request. Her love of the island is obvious & we learned so much about the Azores. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or day! We hope to return one day to see the other islands in the Azores that were recommended by Rita! Great private tour!

Awesome island jeep tour!
Fantastic jeep tour with a friendly, extremely knowledgable guide named Gonsalvo (sp?) who went out of his way to show us everything he could. He was an expert at taking pictures of our group of 4, spoke good English, and had a fun sense of humor.
To top it all off, he aided helped us make a reservation for dinner at an out-of-the-way place he recommended, which turned out to be another great adventure.

Unforgettable Experience
We had a fantastic time in Ponta Delgada - Sao Miguel Azores in September
Our tour guide "Carlos Simoes" was awesome.
He was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly , we now have a new friend in Sao Miguel, we can't wait to return!
We highly recommend him to anyone!

a day well spent!
incredible day. the views just kept getting better. i must have taken over 100’pics and that was after deleting the duplicates and not as good ones. we rented a car here since I read that you must have one. we considered cancelling because we could just drive. This is not at all the case! The 4 wheel drive took us to all kinds of places we would not have had access to. The landscape here is amazing and still so new to tourism.

Carlos is the best
My partner and I had an amazing private tour with Carlos, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He has such a deep knowledge of history and shared it in a way that was both engaging and fun — we learned so much without ever feeling overwhelmed. Carlos was also incredibly patient and made us feel completely safe the entire time. On top of that, he turned out to be a fantastic photographer, capturing some of our favorite memories from the trip. He was funny, kind, and truly went above and beyond — the best tour guide we’ve ever had!

Perfect day on Sao Miguel
Nilton was the perfect guide: funny, kind, knowledgeable, thoughtful and timely. Both he and his brother/business partner Thiago are life long residents of the island: there is no way we could have seen and learned as much on our own. Much better to leave the details to them and enjoy the experience instead. It was a great value as well, costing less than a car rental. We highly recommend 4Platanos Tours!
