3.006 of us sat in two back seats which were facing each other, awkward and uncomfortable. The driver/guide had a strong accent and no microphone and was difficult to hear/understand. His driving was scary at times. We stopped a few times so he could have a cigarette. The sites themselves were nice.
Tour was as advertised! ...

5.00Tour was as advertised! Weather cooperated to provide outstanding views of the craters, lakes and ocean. Miguel was very accommodating. He was very responsive to a couple of my pre-tour communications. I even enjoyed the pineapple drop more than I expected.
Well Worth Your Time and Money

1.00Azores Dream tours never showed up - said they lost our confirmation - I think since nobody else booked that tour they just decided to cancel without letting us know. Yes, they issued a refund but we had to scramble to find an independent tour operator at $60 more - they won’t respond to me regarding issuing an additional credit for the $60. Viator has wiped their hands of this issue even though they endorse/recommend Azores Dream Tours
Pedro was fantastic - knowledgeable - pleasant and very caring

5.00Our guide took us all over. She was very very knowledgeable, fun, friendly and truly caring. Andrea took us to the volcano lake, tried local food, saw a few churches, beaches and extra time was spent in the city learning so very much.
