Filipe was fantastic! Right on time, exactly where he said he would be. We sat out in his really nice truck with his informative but not boring commentary. We went at a nice pace usually staying just ahead of the crowd. Saw many great sights and stopped for a coffee and tart at a nice little place then headed back to the ship. The day was just perfect and you should not hesitate booking this tour. We really enjoyed Filipe and his knowledge. Thank you for a great day!

Wonderful day driving the caldera! Phillip was an amazing driver and guide. I had a wonderful time with him exploring Ponta Delgada.

Filipe is a great guide with lots of knowledge, the vehicle is clean and comfortable. He did a great job explaining the history and answering any questions I had. One thing to note: if you are easily nauseous in cars, this may not be for you, as the roads have a lot of hairpins, with lots of ups and downs, conbined with rough terrain.

Had an incredible tour with Filipe during our cruse stop and would recommend this to anyone looking for an adventure with a knowledgeable, safe, local guide who knows everything about Ponta Delgada and will show you the natural beauty of the island

Possibly the best tour we’ve done. Off-road was ace, we were the entry of every other group and our host was outstanding in local knowledge and excellent English. Everything about this was fantastic.

Great way to see the west end of the island. The views from the top of the crater were spectacular! The guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. We highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Punta Delgada!

This was a fantastic private tour in a 4x4 pickup. Guide was local and very knowledgeable. Safe driver. Took us to the best locations for viewing and photographs. Time well spent with memories to cherish. We booked this tour instead of a cruise tour and did not regret it. Thanks Felipe!!
