BEAUTIFUL... TO DO ABSOLUTELY! - Our 4h excursion with TW4 JEEP was beautiful, well beyond our expectations. Our Guide who spoke French was EXCEPTIONAL! He was so friendly and generous. He picked us up at our Pension in Ponta Delgada and dropped us off again. We benefited from all his knowledge about volcanoes, weather, history... He showed us some fabulous places including the famous Lagoa do Fogo. We were even able to do a little hike, very nice. We took the excursion at the beginning of our stay and so we could enjoy the suggestions of our Guide (restaurants, beach, visits...) We loved and recommend 200% excursions with TW4 JEEP. Do not hesitate to contact them... For the record, it is more interesting to go directly on their site than through intermediaries. It is necessary to specify by email that you want a Guide speaking French.

Superb! - Lagoa do Fogo, great place! Would be much better if completed with the whole trekking around the lake.

Great tour and tour guides! - Our family, group of 12 people ranging from 1 year old to 74 years old, went on a Half-Day Jeep Tour from Ponta Delgada - Lagoa do Fogo today. We had an amazing time. The ride was very comfortable, the tour guides were all top notch! They were very friendly, kind, and super informative. We had several different abilities (infants to people with joint problems) and they accommodated for everyone so they could experience all aspects of this tour! We were able to access parts of the island that we would have never been able to experience! We would recommend them 100%!

Terrific tour! - We had a terrific tour with Mariano. We had rented a car and driven around the island the day before, but he took us on back roads and shortcuts that we would not have known about. He also added a personal touch to the geologic and cultural history of the island. He was so kind, knowledgeable and funny. It would not have been the same without him as the guide! Through no fault of the tour company, the lake was shrouded in fog so we couldn't see it, but it was still a great tour with other sights. Would highly recommend and ask for Mariano!

Excellent experience. Highly recommend - Tour guide, Miguel was excellent. Fog prevented a clear view of the lagoa, but he pivoted and showed us other interesting sights. We will tour with him on our next visit to S Miguel.

Disappointed 😞 - The vender said they never received the confirmation for the Tour. Even though I received 2-3 messages of confirmation before the tour. The vender that work with Viator was very rude and she tried to brush me off and set me up with taxi driver who could not do the actually tour for us. I was terribly disappointed and frustrated because it was an experience lost. I do not know when I will be able to visit Azores again!
