Tomas took my wife and I on a comfortable and informative tour of Ponta Delgada in his TukTuk vehicle. He was born and raised here so he was able to give us a lot of interesting information. We enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it.

We booked this tour last minute from our cruise ship. Tomas was easy to communicate with and handled the changes we requested easily. This was an enjoyable and informative tour of sites in town and at a couple of beaches. Tomas demonstrated that he has studied the history of the island while pointing out the sites we visited. I would not hesitate to book again to see more of Ponta Delgada.

We spent a delightful morning with our guide, Tomas. I had a lot of questions about the history of the city and he had the answers. We were really happy with Tomas and with the places he showed us and the accompanying history.

This tour was well worth the time and price. This Guided Small-Group Tuk-Tuk Tour turned out to be private! I was the only tour member who showed up. It was great. Tomas was a very good guide, he was born and raised on São Miguel Island. Tomas has comprehensive knowledge of Ponta Delgada, its geography, history, and industry but also much more than that: He is very up-to-date with current events, and with viewing those through the prism of history. Tomas was warm and friendly and a great conversationalist. I came away from this tour with a good understanding of Ponta Delgada and its central place in the historical development of the Azores. My appreciation of Ponta Delgada’s layout, buildings and commerce was heightened by observations Tomas shared with me, about their historical origins, and their cultural and political significance. Thank you again, Tomas!

Tomás was an excellent guide to bring us around the main points of Ponta Delgada on private tour. Very friendly and flexible with what we were interested in. Would recommend to anybody who wants to become familiar with the city!

This was a wonderful way to see the city sites while we were in port on a cruise. Tomas, the operator and tour guide was wonderful! So genuine, friendly, and pleasant.

Tuk Tuk is a great and fun way to see the sites for a group of 4. Tomas was very knowledgeable. Only issue was sometimes the people in back of Tuk Tuk could not hear when traffic went by

We had a wonderful tour with Thomas throughout Ponta Delgada City Centre and surrounding neighbourhoods. Thomas clearly loves his hometown and is proud to share it's stories and culture and history with his clients. His communication for pick up was exceptional and we never felt rushed on our journey. The Tuk Tuk gave us the fresh air of a walking tour, a virtually private tour with only 4 clients at a time and ease of access to get in and out of the Tuk Tuk. We felt safe and comfortable on the tour.

Thomas was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable. He was very kind and friendly and took time to explain the areas we visited. The TukTuk had shoulder harnesses and seatbelts for safety.
