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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Great activity for all levels
Very inclusive — we were part of a group of people with a range of fitness levels, but our guide made sure that we could all participate safely and that no one was left behind. We experienced wonderful views and learned about the history of the area—a great activity! (Tip on finding the meeting spot—your GPS may tell you it’s the 3rd exit in the roundabout—but for us, it was the 4th exit. If you take the wrong exit and wind up at the hotel ruins, you took the turn before the correct one.)

Great private tour with family business!
Wonderful day in Furnas! Nilton was an excellent guide - kind and knowledgeable. He navigated the tricky roads with ease in his very comfortable car. As a lifelong resident, he shared lots of interesting information about life on Sao Miguel. He brought us to places we would not have found on our own. He and his brother are a family business - they take pride in the business and their home and it shows! Highly recommend!
