Hi Andre, thank you so much for an excellent ATV tour of Sete Cidades! Our whole family had such a fantastic time. You were a wonderful guide, and the scenery, trails, and adventure made it a truly memorable experience for all of us. We really appreciate your knowledge, enthusiasm, and care throughout the tour. It was one of the highlights of our family trip. Thank you again, Andre!
Great views, and enjoyed my first time on an ATV, though I would recommend wearing a mask unless you want to look like you came from Dune
Tour was extremely fun! Our tour guide was wonderful and took as down beautiful trails to find multiple amazinf views as Sete Cidaded and the twin lakes!
I had an absolutely amazing experience exploring São Miguel, and a huge part of that was thanks to Juan. As a solo traveler, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but from the very beginning he made me feel comfortable, welcome, and completely at ease. Juan went above and beyond to show me some of the most beautiful and unforgettable spots on the island. He clearly knows the area extremely well and shared places and views that I would never have discovered on my own. Every stop felt special, and his enthusiasm for the island made the experience even better. What stood out the most was how genuine and friendly he was throughout the entire trip. Rather than feeling like I was on a typical tour, it felt like I was exploring the island with a close friend. He was professional, respectful, easy to talk to, and always made sure I was enjoying myself. To top it all off, after spending the day exploring together, Juan even kindly dropped me off at the airport. That level of care and hospitality is rare and truly appreciated. If you’re visiting São Miguel and have the opportunity to tour with Juan, don’t hesitate. He helped turn my solo trip into one of the most memorable travel experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!
This was a great way to see part of the island. We loved riding around in the buggies and getting a different perspective of the northwestern side of the island. All the views were breathtaking. Getting to the meeting spot was easy. It can get a little chilly, so I recommend having a light raincoat or sweatshirt.
Our tour guide Andres was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and checked on us throughout the tour to make sure the experience was good.
The buggy tour was such a great experience. Even though the weather was rainy and foggy, I had so much fun touring sete cidades. My guide was great and altered the route to allow me to see cool sights even with the fog. He was also very knowledgeable about the area and answered any questions that I had. I would 100% recommend this experience for anyone looking for something memorable to do while visiting!
Thank you for the kind review was great to be able to show you our little island in the middle of the Atlantic.
What a special day! We were very lucky to be the only ones for this tour. Had a chance to connect with our guide Andre on a different level and we really appreciated the conversation all afternoon. Be prepared to get dirty, there is a lot of dust. Check meeting point as there are a few different towns that have operators and you may need a taxi depending on where you stay. Superb service/wonderful experience!
We have done a few quad trips around the world and this one is up there. You travel through ponta delgada and then onto scenic country roads and then up to the amazing scenery of craters, with photo stops along the way. It was mainly on the main roads with some off road. We had a quad each which was well worth it - we really enjoyed it. Note their insurance covers you on the roads but not off roads, we took the risk as our private insurance would not have covered us but all was fine. It was June and still a bit cold up there when not in the sun but they gave us coats which we needed when on the quads. Recommend the trip and the quads were in really good condition.
There was limited visibility but Andre, my guide, made the most of it! Had lots of fun driving around!
