It was superb. The vistas were green and so luscious. It was worth every penny I spent on this tour. The 4- wheel drive was excellent and perfect for the terrain. Our guide Rodrigo was excellent, knowledgeable and shared a lot about the island. The different viewpoints for the green and blue lakes were spectacular. Coffee stop at Sete Cidades was a bonus. Who can forget the hydrangeas. Loved it! Loved it! Loved it.! Not to be missed on your trip to Azores.

We booked a private tour through Get Your Guide and the tour company ( Into the Wild Azores Tours) was amazing! They were very flexible with the times because of our cruise ship and our guide, Eduardo, was waiting for us close to the cruise terminal. He was an excellent guide with so much information about the Azores. If you are fortunate enough to book a tour with this company, you will not be disappointed!

Amazing half-day tour when you have a long layover. It was fairly foggy at first up in the mountains but they started to fade as the day kept going. Rodrigo was an amazing guide that translated between English & Portuguese, and was incredibly informative of the sites we saw. Highly Recommend!

Multilingual guide and very informative and energetic. Thanks Filipe

Your guide was informed and funny. Overall great experience!
