Thomas was super informative and accommodating. Kept my kids well entertained. Highly suggest doing this!
Our Tuk-Tuk ride - on the only Tuk-Tuk in the Azores - was both fun and informative. Tomas is friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about his beautiful home island. The length of the trip was exactly right, and we enjoyed ending the trip at the pineapple plantation.
Fantastic, knowledgeable driver. A fantastic overall experience. Kids 11 and 13 loved it as well. Super fun.
A great way to get to know Ponta Delgado. Tomas shared great information about the city and the island itself. He was very knowledgeable and fun to talk with.
Such a great tour with an amazing guide. Tomas was absolutely fantastic and one of the first activities we did visiting the island. Tomas was knowledgeable and entertaining the whole time and was incredibly flexible. 10/10 recommend especially anyone boosting Azores for the first time.
We had a wonderful tuk tuk experience with a kind and accommodating local guide Tomas! We enjoyed getting some history behind the Azores and the sites around Ponta Delgada that we would have missed otherwise. Thank you Tomas for a fantastic introduction to Ponta Delgada!
Our guide, Tomas, has created a great introduction to Ponta Delgada, its history and culture. Stopping at key locations gave us excellent insights into the city and island’s beginnings, its spiritual heritage and the beauty of its volcanic foundations. We appreciated Tomas’s insights of his home. Strongly recommend the tour and we also suggest you buy a pineapple bowl when you stop at the pineapple “plantation”; it was delicious.
This was a very personalized tour. Tomas was so excited and friendly and really took the effort to explain history and culture. It was a lovely time.
Great half day tour, seen loads of places we would never have found ourselves. The pineapple farm was great. Guide was lovely and knew all about the local area.
It was a great tour! The tour guide was very kind and funny. He gave us time to explore each spot. His meeting spot is on the street, so if you get there early, just wait and keep an eye out.
