What are people saying about Azores

JA_A, Nov 2026

Amazing

We had an absolutely amazing day! The guide was great. Very friendly. The path he takes is absolutely stunning. He stopped several times for photo opportunities. We stopped half way at a cafe for a quick coffee and snack, and restroom break. It wad about 70*F in port today but when you get up the mountain it got COLD! Bring a jacket. I highly recommend this for everyone. There was just enough water and mud on the path to make it extra fun. We got an uber from port, the drive takes a little longer than expected so leave adequat time. It also takes a little extra time to get off the ship in this port because it is an industrial port and you have to take a bus from ship to gate. The owners of this business were very accommodating. They responded promptly to questions.

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

Emma_W, Nov 2026

Manuel is the best!!

Absolutely brilliant tour of the west side of the island from Ponta Delgarda. Mail was so knowledgeable and friendly and we have had the best day with him exploring this beautiful island paradise. Lunch was typical Portuguese cuisine with meat and fish and i highly recommended the local beer to go with it. Thank you for the best day xx

Small-Group Ponta Delgada Food Tour in Azores

Leanne_M, Nov 2026

Loaded with great tastes and learnings

Lots of food! Met at port, walked to try breakfast morsels along with knowledgeable guide, Lana. She told us so much about the history and commerce of the Azores. Then to a Farmers market, more nibbles, a restaurant for chorizo and a bean stew, more history and architecture info, cultural background info, a place for fish, beef and wine, more walking and then a dessert at the end. Really good. We learned loads. Lana was really professional and lovely person. We arrived late and she was very understanding. Recommend this tour. There were only seven of us so a really nice size group.

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

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

Scott_H, Sep 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.

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.
