What are people saying about Azores

John_S, Nov 2026

A truly fantastic day!

Nilton was our guide. He is truly a local. He shared not only beautiful views of his island but also stories of his growing up on it and how it has changed. We saw some amazing sights and had a fantastic meal at his family's restaurant with incredible views. He even brought us through Ponta Delgado and wandered with my wife as she purchased some T-shirts for family and friends. It really felt like we made a friend. A wonderful experience all around!

This tour was great! The...

This tour was great! The team were amazing and we loved seeing so many dolphins! I'd recommend wearing the waterproof jacket, as we did get wet with the spray. The tour guide gave us a lot of information about the dolphins we saw which our 10yo enjoyed.

Small-Group Ponta Delgada Food Tour in Azores

Lois_J, Oct 2026

Fun, educational and yummy

This tour had more stops than others that I’ve done, 6 in all. We had a great guide and there was a chef that went out in advance of us to each stop to prepare everything for us. Guide was knowledgeable about food, as well as other information about Ponta Delgada and the Azores. My favourite stop was at A Tasca. Comfie shoes are a great help on the stone road and walkways, but there isn’t too much walking in between each stop.

Side by Side Tour - Sete Cidades from North Coast (Half Day)

Tartatatinyalgomas, Oct 2026

Very cool

There were two of us in a buggy, although on the same excursion there was a quad and another buggy driven by the guide. We had to cross a bit of countryside before entering the caldera area, sometimes by road and sometimes by trails. The excursion was very impressive, through and around the caldera and lakes of Sete Cidades, which is one of the island's biggest attractions, and thanks to the vehicles we accessed paths that, otherwise, you cannot reach by car. Several stops are made at strategic locations, including a final lookout point, Pedras Negras, toward the beach.

This was my favourite...

This was my favourite tour out of all the island tours we did! Our guide Jose Melo was exceptional; a great balance of information (history, interesting facts), sight seeing moreover actual time to explore these sights…unlike other tours where it is a pass by or you get 10-15 minutes. He was very accommodating, courteous, and really made every minute of the tour count. The lunch was delicious too! But all the sights we saw were stunning, and I am very glad I did this tour to cover the eastern part of the island. Thank you, Jose!

Wonderful tour. We were lucky to have nice weather and were able to see all the sights we had hoped to. Stunning views. Very nice buffet lunch provided, we got to try many local dishes. Biggest thanks goes to our guide, Manuel, who was so knowledgeable and accommodating. Having grown up in Sao Miguel, his love for the island especially shone through.

Highly recommend

We loved every second of this tour. The drive, the scenery and of course our guide. He was very knowledgeable & accommodating. The weather changes quickly there so he pivoted and made sure to allow us to see as much of the beauty as he could in the time given. Highly recommend for a first full day on the island tour.

Excellent trip

Scott_H, Sept 2026

Amazing tour with an amazing guide!

We took a four wheeler and had an amazing time. It was the biggest the roads on the island felt for us since we got here. Our guide was one of the most patient kind people you could ever find and had great information at the stops. We would absolutely do this again except this time I think we would do the full day tour.

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!

Donald_K, May 2026

The ultimate private tour!

Carlos was very kind, knowledgeable, caring and flexible. He picked us up at the cruise ship dock on time and toured us all around at our pace. He explained the historic and significant spots of interest and answered all of our questions. When we needed to stop for a restroom and lunch he gave us our choice of options. Carlos is the man! And the Azores are just amazing! Lastly he got us back to our cruise ship in plenty of time.
