Fun and informative tour!! - Vasco was a great guide. He made the tour fun and informative. Waited patiently for us when taking photos and when we went to see the hot springs. Vasco answered all of our questions.

A must-see destination - The landscape was exquisite, and the off-roading was fun! Would love to return to see more of the island.

Well managed tour of country side - Overall, the tour was well managed. We had 4 in our party. The vehicle could fit 6 but it would have been tight. Our tour guide Jose, was very knowledgeable and took time to explain about what we were seeing. He offered to stop as often as we needed to sight-see. We had a good 4-hour tour. We arrived on a foggy day, so Jose gave us a choice of where to visit. We choose the Sete Cidades route as planned. At points, especially in the mountain’s visibility was limited. We were unable to visit the King’s View, which is the view you see in most travel sites. As it turns out it is often foggy in so you will be lucky if you get this view. Some of the drive is over very rough terrain. While we were in a 4x4 vehicle, if you have motion issues or pain trouble, I suggest you avoid this tour. The one down side to our tour, is that there was no one waiting for us at the cruise terminal. There was a dozen of other people with signs but not us. I had to call the number provided, and they said that they had no record of our booking. This surprised me as Viator had given sent me a confirmation code that very morning. As it turns out the scheduling person for the tour screwed things up, but 15 minutes after our call Jose picked us up and we started our tour.
