What are people saying about Azores

São Miguel West: Van Tour with Sete Cidades & Lagoa do Fogo

Matthew_H, Nov 2026

Best Views of Sao Miguel Island!

We lucked out on the weather with terrific views of Sete Cidades in the afternoon. Our tour guide, Andrea, was very helpful answering all of our questions and telling us the history of the viewpoints. Definitely worth doing a west side tour rather than the east side tour if you have to choose.

Small-Group Ponta Delgada Food Tour in Azores

Matthew_H, Nov 2026

Sao Miguel downtown small group tour

Great food tour to try the island’s best foods! Top favorites were the quejadas (small pastries), alcatra beef with French fries, and chocolate volcano with ice cream dessert! Our tour guides were Andrea and Maria, who explained some history about the island. More details than I expected, but very informative. It was also very helpful that they showed us the cheese store, where I bought some items after the tour. Everyone was stuffed afterwards. Would do it again. Max of 12 people, so it was easy to hear the history and stories behind the food.

Essential San Miguel: 2 Day-Tour of Natural Wonders & Top Spots

Ronda_E, Nov 2026

Lots Covered, Perfecting Pacing

We booked a 2-day tour in São Miguel which covered numerous volcano vistas, waterfalls, pineapple and tea plantations, cheese tasting, hot springs, gardens, our Lady of Peace sanctuary, lunches, geothermal cooking, bakery, ports, churches, a thermal bath, watching surfing. and so much more. The guide Henry was fantastic. He was well versed in the island's history, geology, and culture. We learned so much and the pacing was good. There was plenty of time to enjoy the sites. Some stops required moving and others required relaxing. The late October weather did not always cooperate during vista moments, but no one can control the weather, not even Henry. LOL It is so difficult to say which part of the tour was the best, so I say each part was the best of. Henry showed such consideration when he realized he could pick us up at our front door rather than down the street at the designated location. The 8-passenger tour van was clean and comfortable and pick-up timing was as described. We also had a chance to get to enjoy the company of fellow visitors from around the globe, in our case Austria, Greece, the US, and Canada. I highly recommend this Viator tour and Henry as tour guide, if you want an authentic, stress-free way to see the real Azores, rather than a crowded tour bus!

Volcano of Sete Cidades Private Tour

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!

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.

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!

Furnas Volcano & Tea Plantation With Traditional Lunch, East Tour

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.

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.

Canyoning Experience - half day

Tahl_R, Sept 2026

Went with my brother for...

Went with my brother for his 50th birthday. We had a blast. Due to some no shows we basically had a private tour so that made it extra special. The guides themselves Thomas and Alberto (I think) were the stars. So friendly and warm like they were our buddies just having a blast in nature. Two thumbs up for sure. Just know the physical requirements before booking.

Half Day 4x4 Private tour from Ponta Delgada Azores

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!
