5.00Great half day trip. Easy pick up from cruise ship. Enjoyed the roads a bus couldn’t go. Amazing landscape. Delfin was a wonderful driver and extremely knowledgeable about the history and surroundings for not being a native.
Wonderful trip

5.00A fantastic guide/driver. Breathtaking views. A great and friendly experience - I couldn't recommend it enough! As nobody else booked this trip on that day, this was essentially a private tour - and yet no corners were cut. Much appreciated and thank you!
Best Guide ever!

5.00I had already turned to Viator in Madeira and was very satisfied. I did the same thing in the Azores for two jeep rides. Punctual, competent and kind. Our guide Gonçalo was fantastic, he made us discover hidden places and not accessible by rental car. Everything is perfect.
Goncalos give the best tours

5.00Goncalo took me and my family on one of the most memorable tours I’ve ever been on. He showed us some of the greatest views and look out points thats Azores had to offer. He also taught us so much about the history of the island and what it had to offer. He was even able to answer every single one of our questions. He is very personable and made conversation easy for us. The jeep tour was very nice overall I would recommend Goncalo to anyone wanting to have a good time and see amazing views.
Not a bad way to spend a layover

5.00I booked this experience because I had a 36 hours layover in Sao Miguel and it really exceeded my expectations. Gonçalo was a very good guide: very knowledgeable and friendly. He answered all our questions and offered nice recommendations. The views were also very nice. It made me wish I had more time to visit Sao Miguel. I recommend!
Great way to see Sete Cidades!

5.00Unfortunately, it was a very foggy day when we had gone, but it thankfully started to clear up. The kids really enjoyed the 4 x 4 and taking the off-road routes. Our guide and drivers - Gonçalo and his partner were very informative. We had two vehicles, for two families of four. The vehicle was spacious and we felt safe as they navigated us through the twists, turns and hills. They picked us up right at our hotel and dropped us off at a relatives house afterwards without any issue. The scenery is beautiful and unique, definitely a highlight of the island. We enjoyed our stop at the green Love Café. Try the cocount/chocolate/St George cheese dessert. One of a kind! definitely recommend this tour and the guides/drivers. Thank you for a great experience.
Merci Miguel. Obrigado Miguel. Bravo.

5.00Goncalo was a wonderful guide/driver and a pleasure to spend the morning with. He picked us up promptly at the cruise ship and answered talked about the island and what we would see on the tour. He patiently answered all of my questions. He was extremely knowledgeable as he was born on the island. I would highly recommend a tour with T4W and Goncalo as your guide.
