Not a bad way to spend a layover - I booked this experience because I had a 36 hours layover in Sao Miguel and it really exceeded my expectations. Gonçalo was a very good guide: very knowledgeable and friendly. He answered all our questions and offered nice recommendations. The views were also very nice. It made me wish I had more time to visit Sao Miguel. I recommend!

Great way to see Sete Cidades! - Unfortunately, it was a very foggy day when we had gone, but it thankfully started to clear up. The kids really enjoyed the 4 x 4 and taking the off-road routes. Our guide and drivers - Gonçalo and his partner were very informative. We had two vehicles, for two families of four. The vehicle was spacious and we felt safe as they navigated us through the twists, turns and hills. They picked us up right at our hotel and dropped us off at a relatives house afterwards without any issue. The scenery is beautiful and unique, definitely a highlight of the island. We enjoyed our stop at the green Love Café. Try the cocount/chocolate/St George cheese dessert. One of a kind! definitely recommend this tour and the guides/drivers. Thank you for a great experience.

Enchanting island tour - Goncalo was a wonderful guide/driver and a pleasure to spend the morning with. He picked us up promptly at the cruise ship and answered talked about the island and what we would see on the tour. He patiently answered all of my questions. He was extremely knowledgeable as he was born on the island. I would highly recommend a tour with T4W and Goncalo as your guide.

Awesome Jeep tour from Punta Delgada Sete Cidades - First and foremost, Delfim was awesome❣We have never encountered a Guide so thorough, passionate and "GENUINE" whilst conducting his tour. He is a plethora of information from start to finish. Believe me when we say "you not only have a delightful tour, you are TRULY enlightened of how this beautiful country came to be and how it continues to embrace the natural order of both the land and culture of this country. Again .... Unbelievable drive with amazing veiw and narration. Highly recommend 👌

Excellent Tour with an Outstanding Company - What a fantastic tour this is and a truly great way to experience a part of the beautiful island of Sao Miguel. The scenery and sites that we visited along the way were spectacular, and traveling in this kind of vehicle with experienced guides allows you to experience the island in a different way than you'd otherwise be able to do by simply traveling the main routes. Best of all, we were fortunate to have two fantastic guides - Gonsalvo and Miguel - with us the day of our journey. They both went above and beyond, and were incredibly kind, hospitable, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and engaging throughout, providing us with some great insights about the culture, history, and geography of the Azores. I highly recommend this tour based on the very positive experience we had...

An amazing half day - This was an amazing experience, one not to be missed. Margaride was our guide and she went out of her way to make the half day one not to forget she is so dynamic and knowledgeable and made our experience out of this world.The views were incredible and my photos do not do justice to this amazing island. Do not hesitate in taking this amazing experience.
