Highly Recommend this Tour - Our guide Phillippe with Into the Wild Azores tour was fantastic! He took us to BEAUTIFUL sites in the volcanic region and told us everything we could ever want to know about the Azores. This is a great tour if you don't have time to do the hiking tour. You cover a lot of ground in a half day! Highly recommend.

Amazing way to spend a stopover!!!! - I had a 10- hour stopover in Ponta Delagado and I am so thrilled that I booked this tour!! Eduardo was kind and knowledgeable and made the experience amazing! Eduardo even picked me up from the airport and dropped me at my chosen restaurant in town! I cannot say enough good things about this tour! The sites were incredible and it was organized beautifully. Whether you have a stopover or you are just visiting the Island- do yourself a favor and book!!

Wonderful tour of the island - Mario was an excellent guide giving us a wonderful tour of the island despite the uncooperative weather conditions. As such he took us along the stunning volcanic coast to see the bright blue waters, natural pools and arch, and steaming vents. From there we climbed to heights to see magnificent views of the island coastline. Next we attempted a visit to Sete Cidades and the Blue and Green lakes in the mountain cauldron but the clouds dampened the water’s reflection of their true beauty. Finally we were off to an amazing pineapple plantation to discover the unique green houses and techniques, culminating in tasting the delicious fruit and drinks. Definitely recommend this tour.

Eduardo is a great guide - Eduardo was very attentive, answered all our questions. He was very knowledgeable of the places he took us. He always looked out for the group on all sites, and even accommodated two people who joined the tour last minute that didn't know any English. He made sure they were understanding his explanations (this is an English guided tour).

Beware !!! - We had booked this tour on TripAdvisor a day or 2 before but on the morning of departure our ship could not dock became of bad weather. I realise it was last moment but the ship refunded all tours that were booked through the ship. We booked direct with the company through TripAdvisor and did not receive 1 cent.
We have used TripAdvisor many many times and have never had to cancel before :(
Beware!!!
