What are people saying about Ponta Delgada

Lauren_W, May 2026

Great family tour!

We had such an amazing tour with Delfim! We were traveling on a cruise and only had the day in Ponta Delgada and this tour was perfect for us and our 4 year old. He was very friendly, had great conversation, and was very knowledgeable about the island. It was nice to have the flexibility to choose what we wanted to see and also have him take us around to hidden gems. Highly recommend this tour!

Volcano of Sete Cidades Private Tour

Robert_B, May 2026

Spectacular day

This private tour was perfect for my husband and me. Upon meeting at the cruise port Tiego informed us the weather would be very foggy at Sete Cidades and we would be unable to see/appreciate anything on that side of the island. He suggested an alternate tour and we went with that. It did not disappoint! We drove north stopping stopping at scenic overlooks, at a local bakery for pastries, and then at the only tea plantation/working tea factory in Europe. We continued to the Furnas Valley where we were able to lean and appreciate the Azores volcanic activity. Fascinating! Since we were unable to eat at the family restaurant Tiego reserved a table at a restaurant where we had the famous Cozido à Portuguesa - hearty and and delicious! Tiego was very personable and full of information. He also took us to the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Paz - tour buses are unable to reach this place (wink!) We highly recommend this tour. Will use again on our next trip to the Azores.

RobertGregory_H, May 2026

Great experience

Excellent tour and guide. Knows all the sights and routes. Very polite - great English - private tour lets you ask questions and customize the experience. Clean BMW and comfortable seats. We were on a cruise ship so no problems with returning to ship on the afternoon booking (and we were able to start a little early).

Private Guided Tour to Furnas and thermal baths.

Vicky_W, May 2026

Wonderful time spent in the Azores - Ponta Delgada

We had Tiago as our host for this tour. We had a little bit of a delay in the start as Viator had given Tiago the wrong pickup but Tiago quickly messaged and remedied the problem. We were then off for a great 5 hour tour and had a wonderful time. Tiago was very knowledgeable and gave a lot of facts about the Azores and the history. We were able to see everything that was on the tour and spent a good amount of time in the Thermal Baths. Great Job Tiago.

Dorothy_P, May 2026

Experience the Local Area

Our tuk tuk guide Tomas was a delight to spend a couple of hours with. Professional, knowledgeable, good stories, good driver, personable, respectful and fun. The drive in and around Ponta Delgado gave a good insight to the area and actually made me want to experience more of the island. The stop at the Pineapple Farm was a plus. Go for it !!

Sete Cidades: Private 4x4 Tour Half Day

Judy_E, Mar 2026

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.

São Miguel, Azores - Private Tour 9 hours in 4 seats car "Exclusively for You"

Dennis_A, Nov 2025

Extremely knowledgeable

Our tour with Henry was fantastic. He curated our stops based off our wishlist, and suggested alternatives as some of the viewpoints were not visible due to weather. Despite the weather, Henry was fantastic and had no shortage of facts about the history of the island, answering all our questions and educating us on the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out with whatever timetable you have- Henry was accommodating and would be fantastic for anything from a half-day to a multi-day tour.

Private Tour with Carlos

This was an amazing private tour. Carlos was over the top we were in a cruise and we were delayed coming I. To the port. He was there waiting when we got off the ship. He was very informative and learned a lot about the area. We spent ample time at every stop and throughout enjoyed it all.

Best Of The Best

We booked 2 days with T4W and was fortunate to have Miguel as our driver / guide. He went out of his way to accommodate on our request which included stopping at a small town of my great-grandfather’s birth. We saw and experienced so many sights that would not have been possible with a standard your bus/van. Great company and better employees. I highly recommend.

Private Half-Day Tour to Sete Cidades São Miguel Island

Tony_C, Oct 2025

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!

Jessie_X, Sep 2025

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!
