What are people saying about Azores

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Small-Group Ponta Delgada Food Tour in Azores

Thomas_R, Oct 2026

Do not hesitate: Great food, great guides and a city tour!

More than a food tour (which was wonderful), it s also a walking tour of Ponta delgada. We learned a lot about the island, the people and history. Our guide Marco was well versed and answered every question. Then, the food: Excellent. Marco had an assistant who went a head to the next food stop to order food and have our table waiting. When we arrived, we sat immediately and were provided sampling of wonder Azorian dishes. No disappointments at all. Also, the meeting place by the city gates were impossible to miss and an easy, easy walk from the cruise terminal. 5 stars everywhere...

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.

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.

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.

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.
