A Must see if in Sao Miguel - This tour was one of the highlights of our trip! The guide was so knowledgeable and experienced. The views were breathtaking! But honestly the guide made the tour for us. She was friendly, knowledgeable and made the day comfortable and well worth the money! I went on this tour 7 months pregnant and she made sure to go slow and check on me to ensure I was comfortable. Absolutely 100% recommend and would do again.

Jeep tour with Mariano - The tour with Mariano was an incredible experience! He took us to see the most enchanting places on Sao Miguel island, telling us about the history and traditions of the Azores, without forgetting some nice anecdotes! The off road driving experience is also very nice!! Very knowledgeable, we highly recommend him to everyone. Valentina and Mattia

Great knowledgeable local guide. Spectacular views and interesting sites. Forget the buses. - View from the weather station down to the lake was outrageously beautiful. Took backroads avoiding masses on buses. Lunch by the ocean for a mid-trip break.

Jeep tour fun - Mariano was an excellent tour guide. He showed us many untraveled roads around Sete Cidades and Lagoa do Fogo. We really enjoyed the day. Lunch was fantastic and very filling. Could not have asked for a better guide.

Best tour ever! - If going to the Azores this is the tour for you. We had Eduardo as our guide and he was amazing! Request him if you can. We had been on a long cruise and had many stops in Europe but this was my favorite! What a beautiful island paradise!! Love it here and Eduardo was so knowledgeable, fun, and took us everywhere! This is a must do tour!

Far Exceeded Expectations - Our tour guide arrived precisely on time at our lodging in Capelas, greeted us warmly, and assured us that he was eager to make our experience as rich and full as possible. Delfim was warm, friendly, and extraordinarily knowledgeable about the history, geology, flora and fauna, and culture of the area and encouraged and answered our many questions as the four of us proceeded on our highly entertaining and informative 8 1/2-hour adventure with the good-natured Delfim and his trusty Toyota 4x4. Beautiful weather, incredible views, side roads we would never have explored on our own, and a wonderful buffet at Lagoa Azul in Sete Cidades followed by a stroll along the shoreline of the lake. Then a steep and scenic descent to Mosteiros and a leisurely drive along the dramatic coast with stops along the way to savor the views. We have been on many tours over the decades, but none better than this. Delfim is one of those individuals who loves his work and goes the extra mile for his clients. He provided a truly memorable experience for each of us, and we highly recommend T4Wazorestours and would book again with Delfim in a heartbeat.

Breath Taking - Mariano was absolutely amazing! He gave us amazing facts about Azores and accommodated us. It was just me and my friend so it felt like a special private tour. The views of Sete Cidades and Lagoa do fogo were breath taking. We only toured Sao Miguel island but I would definitely come back to visit the other 8 islands! Lunch was great as well! Thank you, Mariano. :)

Get off-road with T4W! - What an incredible tour operator! We visited the Azores via cruise ship at Ponta Delgado. Our ship was in port early a.m. and departing early in the afternoon. Alice allowed us to start an hour earlier than usual (8am instead of 9am) so we could make the most of our short time on San Miguel Island. Telmo met us with his 4x4 ready for a group of up to 8 people in total. We wanted to see and do things quite a distance apart -see Setes Cidades (the famous two lakes and town) and visit the thermal pools and waterfall at Caldeira Velha. Telmo made it happen! We are grateful for all of his knowledge - he answered all the questions we gave him from island flora and fauna to political history of the Azores. He even loaned us a towel for the thermal pools (we forgot to grab one from the ship) AND ran into a local supermarket to find us a local specialty dessert one of us had heard about from a friend. If you're wondering who can get you off-road and away from the tour buses for a local experience, look no further than T4W!

Incredible - Truly an incredible experience! Sandra curated the perfect private tour for us on the west side of Sao Miguel. She is incredibly diligent in communicating and coordinating our tour. Bento is a historian, an expert guide, and a great driver on some precarious roads. He taught us so much about the island and the Azores; from how it was formed to local cultures and traditions. I would highly recommend T4W to anyone considering touring Sao Miguel.
