Our tour was amazing! Our guide, Mariano, was absolutely fabulous! I booked this on our own as a shore excursion from a cruise. Mariano was at the cruise terminal about 15 minutes early from our pre-established meeting time. A private 4wd jeep tour was definitely the way to go here! We could go places tour buses couldn't. Mariano was extremely informative. He gave us so much information about the Azores and Sao Miguel Island and answered any questions we had. On a half-day tour, you do not have time to see the entire island, so we focused on the west side and Sete Cidades. We were not disappointed, and the scenery was just beautiful! We highly recommend T4W and Mariano and would absolutely book them again the next time we are in Ponta Delgada.

Luis was great and the tour beautiful. Very appreciative of the excellent communication from the office prior to the tour. Everything went smoothly from pickup to drop off back at the ship.

We set up a trip to see Sete Cidades as an excursion off of our cruise. Our guide/driver Delfin came to the cruiseport in a Toyota 4 x 4, which was perfect and absolutely necessary for our half day outing. Delfin quickly felt more like a friend and was full of information and stories about the area. He had fallen in love and moved from mainland Portugal about a decade earlier. We very much enjoyed him and he knew all of the best spots for photo stops and how to avoid the bus tours. We also had a nice coffee and pastry break in a small town near the lakes that turned into a tasty highlight. I look forward to returning some day to the Azores and expect to use this company again.

We had a basically private tour with Margareda, and she was phenomenal! It was the best excursion of our 25 day cruise. She took us of the beaten path to explore the micro climates of Ponta Delgada. She was passionate about all the Azores has to offer. I highly recommend booking with T4W tours. It was the absolute best day! Afterwards, she dropped us off in the city center to enjoy an authentic Portuguese lunch.

The trip was incredible! Miguel was the best tour guide. He was very knowledgeable. We had a great morning touring the Sete Cidades as well as some great spots to and from there. Miguel was very friendly and pleasant making our trip extremely enjoyable. Thanks Miguel

We LOVED this half day private tour with Mariano! Pickup was smooth from the cruise terminal and we got to personalize our day based on our interests and the weather. Mariano is so knowledgeable about not only the history but also all the natural history of the island too. Learning about the different plants and types of landscaping was fascinating. Having the private 4WD vehicle is key because you can go off the beaten track into areas that have amazing views a large bus could never get to. I was worried the “off roading” was going to be too rough or bumpy but it wasn’t too bad! We had a great time and I would recommend this if you have a day in port here! Thank you again Mariano!!!

Absolutely the best shore excursion. Cruise excursions were out of the question as we don't like being driven around in massive coaches. On the other hand, our very capable 4x4 driver, Philip, spoke perfect English, and as the cloud cover was bad on our selected trip he persuaded us to choose the west of the island instead. We were so glad he did. He took us to some amazing viewpoints and he was full of very interesting information about his homeland. He and his vehicle took us to places that a coach could NEVER have accessed. I can thoroughly recommend T4W for the sightseeing *trip of a lifetime*

We had a full day whale watching trip cancelled so wanted to do something else and booked this trip last minute to get out and see some sights of the island. This we did! even though it was only the afternoon our brilliant driver/guide Filipe, took us to some amazing view points that we wouldn't have been taken to on a pre booked commercial trip. Filipe was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our afternoon and got some amazing pictures.

Our scheduled shore excursion did not happen because high winds on 10/29/19 prevented our cruise ship from docking at Ponta Degada. A very big disappointment for us as we were looking forward to seeing the beautiful scenery we have been reading about. The local tour company responded promptly to my email and provided helpful information so that I could initiate a refund request. Contact with Viator at the end of our cruise resulted in an immediate refund of the cost of the planned excursion. Viator's customer service is outstanding! They went above and beyond what I was expecting and my short telephone contact with them resulted in one happy customer. Can't wait to travel again so I can book excursions with them.
