The pickup process is easy. The driver met us at the right place and the right time with our names displayed. There were 8 people at this tour. We fit into a BMW van. It is better than a big bus with over 30-40 people. It is a more intimate experience

Absolutely wonderful half day tour to Sete Cidades! Picked us up from cruise port and returned us promptly. Thoroughly enjoyed it and our tour guide Carla was an absolute gem! I highly recommend the tour and especially Carla!

    Excellent tour - first rate guide - great value.

    Jonathan_C, Apr 2026
    This was an excellent 4 hour tour of the NW of St Miguel Island. We were in a party of 8 in a very comfortable and well-driven Mercedes people carrier. Our guide and driver was Carla; she was wonderful and provided ongoing informative and interesting commentary throughout the tour, giving clear insights to the history and development of the Azores and it's people. Her local knowledge was first rate and my partner and I found her to be first rate in every regard. We would definitely recommend her as our first choice if ever we were to return. Thank you Carla.

    Pray for good weather.

    Good experience, weather didn’t cooperate but the tour operator did her best to get us the best views by changing routes.

    Great half day with tremendous guide Carla

    Dennis was a very good guide. He went out of his way to show us what we wanted to see. He is very knowledgeable about the island!

    We saw pretty picturesque spots for taking photos, with a quick stop at a pineapple farm on the way.

    Nightmate in the azores

    I am sure that on a clear day it must be beautiful the guide did nothing to change the itinerary so i did not understand why it was not cancelled i could have gone to the thermal waters/resort but i guess is all about money

    Great tour

    Great tour of the island would definitely recommend. Her tour guide was very knowledgeable. Our stops were so picturesque and beautiful.

    Danielle_G, May 2025
    The tour was lovely and Rui was a great and informative guide. The only reason why I’m giving three stars is that the company refused to pick me up even though my address was well within the bounds of pick up. In fact, we had to drive by my accommodation on the tour. This felt ridiculous since it was a 30 min walk for me or a five minute drive for them. Even tour operators in the neighboring town of Vila Franca (~30 km from Ponta Delgada) picked me up, so I really felt it was a shame that they did not pick me up.

    Just average.

    This is a beautiful island; so green. However, our driver/guide was just average. He was friendly but there were several long periods of silence.

    Exactly as promised. ...

    Exactly as promised. Really appreciated our guide getting out in front of the large busses. See Cidades without the crowd was beautiful. Each stop was precisely long enough and gave us an opportunity to get pictures of eachl site. Was rather foggy at the first few stops, but nothing to be done about that. Much cooler at the top, so be prepared. Wish I'd taken hand warmers and a hat! Pineapple plantation was very interesting- thought it would be similar to a generic in Apopka, but it was totally different than what I'd expected. Do go.

    Kind of boring this trip,...

    Kind of boring this trip, pickup take half hour to get me, and a few stops for the lakes. Total 3 hours. Not worth the money

    You booked half-day day tour Next time stay at home you are not welcome to the Azores.

    A spectacular cruise excursion….A Must See

    A fantastic experience from pick up to drop off. Miguel was a knowledgeable guide who went above and beyond in explaining the history and sights of San Miguel. He made us feel welcomed on the island and ensured our experience was top notch. Siete Cederes and the Lake region is absolutely stunning. We loved it so much that we are already making plans to come back.
