Visite privée d'une demi-journée en 4x4 au départ de Ponta Delgada Açores

I booked with T4W to see Sete Cidades, Lagoa do Fogo and Furnas across three days, and it was easily the best money spent. The team employs very knowledgeable and highly passionate guides with excellent English-speaking skills, and by booking a private tour we got to adjust our itinerary based on our personal interests and what the weather allowed for. Of the three major destinations Furnas was my favorite. There is an easily accessible viewpoint where you are treated to an incredible view of the lake and the neighboring town. It's not quite as majestic as the view at the peak of Lagoa do Fogo, but still one you absolutely cannot miss. If you are a fan of tea than your visit to Furnas should include a stop by the Gorreana or Porto Formoso Tea Factories. At Gorreana you can sample black and green teas, and it is the larger of the two. Porto Formoso only serves black tea, but includes a picturesque garden you can wander following the tour. We're not fans of green tea, and we love gardens, so naturally we stuck with Porto Formoso. The bulk of our day was spent exploring Terra Nostra garden. The garden does not take very long to traverse, but there is so much to see that you can easily spend over an hour touring the grounds. This is also the site of the famous Terra Nostra hotel, and entry to the gardens provides access to bathe in the hotel's hot spring. Personally though I'd recommend visiting the hot springs near Lagoa do Fogo. There's quite a mix to see in Terra Nostra garden. Personally I'm a huge fan of the hydrangeas - we saw a mix of blue, purple, pink and even white ones. Another section includes humorous stone carvings of various animals, which look even more quirky now that they're covered in moss. My kids though mostly enjoyed chasing each other across a multitude of paths and hanging out with the resident cat. Because we spent so much time in Terra Nostra garden we only took a brief spin through the neighboring town. There's a lot to learn though - in particular, the traditional methods for using the hot vents to cook food.

We had a wonderful time traveling around the Island. We were on a cruise excursion. I would definitely do this again and Highly recommend to others. We were able to see everything and get a more personalized experience. I am so glad we did this!!

tour guide was knowledgeable professional and very friendly. 4x4 enabled us to go places and experience things that were great

We had such an amazing tour with Delfim! We were traveling on a cruise and only had the day in Ponta Delgada and this tour was perfect for us and our 4 year old. He was very friendly, had great conversation, and was very knowledgeable about the island. It was nice to have the flexibility to choose what we wanted to see and also have him take us around to hidden gems. Highly recommend this tour!

We had a phenomenal trip with Luis as our driver introducing us to the Azores for a four hour tour including off road areas around Sete Cidades. We were able to stop at our leisure to explore some small trails, the remaining aquaducts and assorted views as the weather changes throughout the tour (mist, fog, sunlight, all part of the Azores charm.) We stopped for a delicious coffee at the lake edge and then returned downtown. He provided us with an extensive history of the Azores in addition to a tour of the area to truly appreciate the unique geography of the island. We requested to be dropped to walk downtown and he provided a great stop at the church which we were able to enter. With his explanation of the Azores background it made the church visit much more meaninful. I highly recommend this tour group for Azores visits.

Our guide and driver Gonzalo was excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable about his beautiful island.highly recommend this tour and driver.

We had Marcio as our tour guide and he was wonderful. He drove us all over and explained the area. It was a terrific adventure and one we will always remember

We had a great tour of the interesting places and we also had time to walk around the town. Unfortunately as it was a Sunday not much was open. Our driver, Jose, was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. He made the trip very special. Thank you Jose

Marcio was a wonderful driver, full of interesting and fun information. We were very lucky with the weather, so we could go all the way to the top of Pico da Barrosa. What a view! The 4x4 jeep was definitely needed! Then Marcio took us to the Caldeira Velha hot spring, and had a wonderful dip in it. Finally, we got to see the Gorreana Tea Plantation. It was magical! Marcio met us punctually at the cruise terminal and drove us to pre-agreed-upon sights. The tour was only 4 hours, but we got to see a little bit of this beautiful island. Marcio was willing to drop us off at the Jardim Botanico Jose do Canto, so we could explore the botanical garden and then slowly make our way back to the cruise ship by walking through Ponta Delgada. Sao Miguel is such a lovely island! We hope to be back one day.

What a trip! Half day tour with our knowledgeable, outstanding, tour guide, Luis, was so amazing! He showed us so many view points along the way! Excursions outcomes are mostly dependent on our guide, where they take us, what they say about the place, and Luis totally delivered. I highly recommend their company!
