5.00This private tour was perfect for my husband and me. Upon meeting at the cruise port Tiego informed us the weather would be very foggy at Sete Cidades and we would be unable to see/appreciate anything on that side of the island. He suggested an alternate tour and we went with that. It did not disappoint! We drove north stopping stopping at scenic overlooks, at a local bakery for pastries, and then at the only tea plantation/working tea factory in Europe. We continued to the Furnas Valley where we were able to lean and appreciate the Azores volcanic activity. Fascinating! Since we were unable to eat at the family restaurant Tiego reserved a table at a restaurant where we had the famous Cozido à Portuguesa - hearty and and delicious! Tiego was very personable and full of information. He also took us to the Chapel of Nossa Senhora da Paz - tour buses are unable to reach this place (wink!) We highly recommend this tour. Will use again on our next trip to the Azores.
Very Nicely Done

5.00Neilton was a fantastic guide. He tools us to places that the buses couldn’t get to. He was kind and professional. He took us to his family’s restaurant for lunch and it was wonderful.

5.00We were picked up promptly from our ship by our guide. Unfortunately we had a lot of fog on the first part of the tour and did not see much on the overlooks...not the tours fault. Once we got on the other side of the island it was beautiful and we had great views. Lunch was at the Guide's family restaurant. There was a spectacular view of the ocean and the food was very good. The staff was great and we enjoyed it very much. We drove through some small towns that were very nice. Our guide was able to accommodate our request to make a quik stop at the pineapple farm. We appreciated that.
Don't miss this tour!!

5.00We would heartily recommend this tour. Tiago was a marvelous wealth of information as his family has lived here for generations. His warm and gentle nature kept it open to ask many questions. The scenery was gorgeous and Tiago got us to the best viewing spots. And the lunch at his family's restaurant was fabulous. We had a comfortable car, beautiful weather and a delightful day.
Personal, interesting and delicious lunch

5.00Private tour was spectacular and very flexible to the customers. The best part was eating delicious Azores lunch at the tour guide’s family restaurant. A lifetime resident of the Azores, the tour guide had very interesting history and details about the region. Highly recommend this tour.

Highly Recommended!

5.00Tiego was a great tour guide. We loved having a private guide and vehicle instead of being with a large cruise group on a bus. The included lunch at his family's restaurant was delicious and had a beautiful view. I highly recommend this tour.
