A fabulous way to spend the afternoon! - Our guide was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and made the trip very enjoyable. The views were amazing and the weather cooperated. I felt like we were able to see a lot in the half day tour. Highly recommend.

Awesome tour with detailed information - This was our best tour (out of several we booked for a 2-week vacation). Delfim was the absolute best! So knowledgeable and personable. He showed us all the main sites and provided so much detail that was really appreciated.

It was amazing! The guide... - It was amazing! The guide had a great knowledge of everything and we felt very safe with him. We are only two on the tour and he was patient and even agreed to bring us to the pineapple plantations since we had extra time. I 100% recommend!!

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.

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!
