This was an amazing and intimate tour. The guide was knowledgeable, funny, and a very calm and skilled driver. He gave us great insights into the history of the Azores.

Delphim, our guide was great, but the weather wasn’t. No craters for us but a wonderful day was had. He shared his city with us. We were picked up at the cruise ship terminal ad taken all around the island. Lots of cows, hot springs and water falls. Can’t wait to return

It would’ve been 5 stars, but we didn’t go on the Jeep tour. There was a mistake, and we were booked (correct confirmation number) on another day. We were put on another tour, actually an upgrade. We liked the guide a lot, couldn’t have liked her more. Very knowledgeable and a great driver. She gets 5 stars! We got lucky on the weather, as it had rained before and after our date.
