We loved this tour! We booked it last minute when our flight was cancelled and we had a full day in the Azores instead of a brief layover. This delay ended up being one of the best days of our trip, thanks to Ludgero. He and his family run this tour, which included lunch at their family restaurant, 4 Plantanos. We saw more than we anticipated and Ludgero was so kind and entertaining. The island is indescribably beautiful! We definitely will return for a full trip to the Azores and will use this company again! The tour ended with lunch, which was the best meal we had in two different trips to Portugal. Absolutely delicious!

This was a great experience. We went around the island and saw several views of the lakes and volcanoes. It was difficult due to the cloudy weather. Our driver knew many facts about the history of the island. We saw so much. We also had an excellent lunch at 4 plantos restaurant and made it back to the ship in plenty of time.

Our guide Tiago was excellent. Personable and relaxed. Driving us to multiple view points and stopping whenever we wanted to jump out to take a photo. The included lunch, with several choices and generous portions, was also great. It was at his family’s restaurant, above the sea, with excellent views. We couldn’t have asked for a better day.

We had a private tour Driver was right on time. The Island was beautiful and the Villages was great to walk around. The food was great. We would love to visit again

We loved every moment of this trip. There were four of us on the tour. We saw breathtaking vistas and countryside. “Lou”, our driver was friendly and very knowledgeable. He gave us plenty of time to explore, take pictures and ask questions. We ended up at the Platanos family restaurant and it was a delicious Portuguese dinner. I ate a delicious Red Fish dinner and delightful homemade desserts. My husband had the steak and raved about his meal. We were full heading back to our cruise ship.

We had a wonderful day! We were picked up on time at the port and drove all over the west side of the island. The scenery was amazing and our guide, Tiego, was so friendly and informative. We were even brought to their family restaurant at the end to have an authentic Portuguese meal! It was delicious! This was one of the best tours I have ever been on!! It was a great day!!

Peter_J

The best thing about our tour was being with a driver/guide who was knowledgeable about the island and had a deep affection for the place. Our time with him gave us an insight into life and society in the Azores. So, thank you very much for an excellent tour.

Thiago was an excellent, knowledgeable, friendly driver/guide who took us to the highlights of the northwest of the island and an outstanding family run fish restaurant for lunch. Highly recommended.

We did this tour with 2 brothers from 4Plantanos (a family business run very efficiently) and had a truly special day making memories as we toured the areas. We have no reservations whatsoever recommending this company and these two brother guides Tiago and Nilton. First, our ship was delayed getting into port and brothers Tiago and Nilton, were already waiting for us. I sent a message through Viator alerting them to our port arrival delay and they replied immediately to not worry. I was impressed how responsive they were but have to admit throughout this booking process, this company was very responsive and very easy to deal with! We were a group of 4 generous-sized adults and realized we could not tour together in one vehicle so Tiago arranged 2 cars at no extra charge to us. We would have happily paid more but made sure to compensate them by giving a better tip. We saw so many beautiful sites around the Sete Cidades area and both brothers were very knowledgeable about all facets of the areas visited. We never expected to see such lush foliage and unique fences of stone and hydrangea bushes. The two lakes in the caldera were stunning and with a bit of fog rolling in, a bit ethereal. We drove past a fascinating moss-covered aqueduct before driving down into the city and stopped at several overviews back toward the caldera as well as out to sea which were spectacular sites to behold! And little did we know how many cows we would see out in lush green fields with stone or hydrangea fences. The volcanic hillsides were covered in brilliant green foliage resulting in scenes that could have been in Ireland or England. We stopped at the village church and were able to go inside to see a unique ceramic mosaic in the baptismal font area. From here, we stopped at another mountain overview in the far NW where we had beautiful coastal views. Around each corner, we saw stunning scenery even this late into the tourist season. Next was a huge surprise for us - Tiago and Nilton took us to their family restaurant overlooking the ocean for an included delicious full lunch of local wine, bread with local cheeses, a special steak dish or local fish (both entrees were so tasty) and dessert which we never got to since we were so full! What a treat giving us the chance to eat authentic Portuguese foods and such a special touch. We stopped at a local cemetery and further drove down to the seaside fishing and swimming ponds with a rocky shoreline. From here we drove back to Ponta Delgada and had a quick tour of a few sites here, too. Our tour was only 4 hours but we saw everything we wanted and was described in the tour synopsis. You won’t go wrong booking with this company and I recommend it without reservation! You will have a beautiful day and feel like you are saying goodbye to good friends by the tour’s end.

The entire tour was fabulous. The driver accommodated our late docking. He was very knowledgeable and provided a detailed tour of the beautiful island in Azores. We had a delicious lunch at his family’s restaurant. I highly recommend this tour company
