Cute Cidades 1/2 Day Buggy - What an experience Rueben our guide was a wealth of knowledge and because it was low season we were the only buggy so he road in the backseat with us. Lots of little tidbits on information during the drive and at the stop points. We had been to Crete Cidades on our own twice for the views but the information tied all the pieces together. Highly recommend.

Buggy Off-Road - Amazing experience. Beautiful scenes and driving off-road adds to the overall picture. The tour guide was awesome providing a lot of interesting details about the island. We are very happy that we booked this activity.

Imperdible - We love the adventure. The guide was 5 stars. At first it rained but then the weather was high. We mark from 8:30 to 12:30. Definitely the best time since there were not many tourists. I suggest bringing stitches and waterproofs. Above all, believe that it is worth it, for the fantastic views and the approach to places where they would not be if they were not by buggy or similar means of transportation

Fantastic day in buggy - An extraordinary experience!! We were with a 4-year-old boy who had a good time pipe! The scenery and roads have been very good. Our guide Luis was super friendly and patient despite being 45 minutes late due to a mix-up at the meeting point 😅.
Very funny!

The tour was amazing. Sao... - The tour was amazing. Sao Miguel itself is a jewel of nature and driving the buggies is wayyy too much fun. Our guide was also super knowledgeable. Whatever you wanted to know, he would know the answer. Overall definitely a tour I recommend.

Just fantastic! - We took the afternoon half-day tour to the crater rim of the volcano “Sete Cidades” in a buggy. On our tour there were several stops: ideal for a rider change - which we made - and to enjoy the breathtaking views. We also had a break in a restaurant and the time for coffee, cake and use of the toilet.
Our guide gave us interesting information about the origin of the island, the volcanoes and the green hills and was always ready to answer questions.
Important: Even in sunny and warm weather I would recommend a wind and rain jacket and even a thin sweater. This should be worn before the tour begins. One is “at the mercy” of the wind. In some cases, altitude meters of 700 m are reached, where it becomes very cool.
We can absolutely recommend the tour. We had a fantastic tour, incredible fun and an equally fantastic guide. Thank you.

Discovery of superb viewpoints in buggy - Very nice excursion with despite everything a lot of road buggy for cars... It's not the buggy in Corsica or the Basque Country.
Very friendly and perfect guide!
Thank you for providing glasses for the buggy because we take plenty of eyes! Dangerous limit if a vehicle throws stones
So the boss knows what happened!
