View is very nice! Enjoy the day! But, The car equipment is worse than expected, the air conditioning is completely useless, and it is very hot and stuffy. The tour guide is very enthusiastic, but it would be better if he could be more punctual.

The entire tour was so interesting. Our tour guide, Raffielle, was excellent. We saw more than we expected. So lucky to have had good weather to see the blue and green lakes. Loved the volcano town we visited. Can't believe a whole town of people live there as the volcano is still active. The entire tour was enjoyable.

Spectacular views, fascinating insight into the island's history, geology and environment. Our guide was well informed and friendly. We especially liked the small van with just 8 passengers, including us 3, so we didn't have the hassle and wasted time of getting on and off a big bus. Comparing our experience with friends who took a big-bus tour to the same destination, we realized we got to make a lot of stops where their bus just slowed down, and they never got a break or a good look at the sights. We also got dropped off afterwards at a place of our choosing in Ponta Delgada instead of being herded directly back to the cruise terminal, which gave us plenty of leisure time to explore, get a relaxing lunch, and shop. And we paid far less than the cruise line expedition would have cost.

Great company. Spoke English and provided an intimate experience (20) people in a mini van style bus Highly recommended.

The tour was 1/3rd the price of booking a cruise ship tour. However, the minibus with straight-back chairs was uncomfortable. The "guide" was quiet, just answering questions from 2 couple at the front of the bus. On the 3 stops, she didn't come and talk about the area. She merely let us off the minibus, told us the time to be back and then waited for the late returners to come back. It would have been good had the guide been more informative

Our cruise ship was unable to dock in Ponta Delgada due to a Portuguese port strike. Azores Dream Tours were very kind to return the payment even when the cancellation was late due to the late confirmation of the strike. Thank you for understanding and we will book again with Azores Dream Tours when we return to Ponta Delgada.

All the wonderful views of the island & learning all about the lifestyle. We appreciated the guides' effort by returning to a viewing site when our first visit was clouded.

Pete_R

Gonçalo with Dream Tours did a wonderful job explaining how pineapples are grown in the Azores. We toured the Sete Cidades where the blue and green lakes were explained. We stopped at the small village near the Cidades with a church built in 1857. While the weather wasn’t the best the tour was great.

Mark_D

The weather wasn't the greatest, even had some sprinkles. Couldn't really see the different colors in the lakes, but had an enjoyable time. We had never been to the Azores before and the plants reminded me of living in San Diego.

Andrew_W

Big problem as our ship did not dock due to the weather. cancelled 90 minutes before docking. I have so far had no luck reclaiming our excursion money paid. The travel company say contact Trip advisor who are not responding to my messages. So as it stands could not recommend using them.
