What are people saying about Azores

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.

Full-Day Nordeste & waterfall Tour with Lunch

Aatayna_H, Oct 2026

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!

Deborah_S, Oct 2026

Wonderful tour. We were...

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.

Azores Whale Watching Tour – Ponta Delgada

Tiffany_C, Oct 2026

This was a amazing...

This was a amazing experience!! We could truly tell how much the cared for and respected the Dolphins and Whales. We had the fortune to see both on the trip. They were so organized with look outs and communicating to various shops to ensure we could catch the sign of a whale. My son was elated.

Trixie_J, Oct 2026

Excellent trip

Super tour we had Joaquim as our tour guide and he was full of knowledge, very friendly and really took care of us. Lunch was delicious with plenty of the traditional food and drink. After lunch we had 2hrs at the botanic garden and thermal pools so had plenty of time to have a wander around and enjoy all three pools.

Off the Beaten Track Half Day Sete Cidades Jeep Tour

Shannon_F, Oct 2026

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.

Adventure in the Furnas, with volcanoes, lagoons and tea plantations

Brenda_A, Oct 2026

How to spend your day on the island

This was a wonderful way to see a little piece of the island. Júlio, our tour guide was wonderful. He was attentive and kept us on track to be sure we got to see everything on the list. Highly recommend and if you get Júlio as your guide, even better.

Quad Biking - Sete Cidades from North Coast (Half Day)

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.

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

Stacy_S, Aug 2026

Full adventure

Had a great time on this tour. Gorgeous views up close and personal with Sete Cidades. Plenty of opportunities to switch drivers if multiple people in one vehicle are of age. The only thing I would do differently is book a taxi back to my hotel as I did not have a rental ahead of time. The owners / tour guides were kind enough to call a taxi service for us, as service on my phone was non-existent at the meeting point.

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.

All West, Sete Cidades, Mosteiros, Ferraria - Private 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.

Cruise Travellers: Shore Excursion Sete Cidades & Furnas Volcano

Richard_H, May 2026

Wonderful experience! ...

Wonderful experience! Our tour guide, Bruno, was amazing. Very knowledgeable of the areas and quite entertaining! We saw some incredible sites. I would recommend choosing one specific ‘area’ focus. Otherwise lots of driving time. No fault of their part.
