5Fantastic time in Punta Delgada
I wasn't expecting much from this excursion and, to be honest, my impression of the tours offered in Ponta Delgada weren't really interesting to me. I was so glad I took the plunge with this tour though. Our drive to Sete Cidades and the northern part of the island was breathtaking. We stopped at several viewpoints for pictures of the lakes and our tour guide offered to take some spectacular pictures of my family. My daughter especially loved feeding some ducks at the shore of Lagoa das Sete Cidades with some spare cat food the guide had. My favorite part was our visit to the Mosteiros Islets, something I've only seen in pictures and, combined with the area's cliffs and black volcanic sand beaches, made this booking well worth it. To top off all the gorgeous scenery we visited, our tour guide was very knowledgable of the areas and provided insight into all sorts of questions we had. He also knew there would be other tours visiting the areas we went to and adjusted our itinerary so that there were either very few people or no one else but us in the areas we visited. It really made our tour feel personal and curated just for us.
4Beautiful Island Tour
Good tour of the island. We were taken all around to see the beautiful sights. Fair amount of walking (up hill).
5It's a cool place! Just do it!
A great all around tour of a very interesting place. Carlos was our amazing tour guide ...he's a local who shared so many tips and tidbits !
5Excellent 1 day tour of the Azores!
This tour allowed us to see almost all of the Azores. It encompassed the beautiful blue and green lakes at Seta Cidades then we travelled to a tea plantation where we tasted tea. Our next stop was the Botanical Garden that boast 10,000 plants finally our visit to for now allowed us to see the steam escaping from fissures ‘s in the Earth along with the bubbling clay Along the way we saw beautiful green landscape areas and the rocky coastline. Our guide, Henry was knowledgeable and thorough. He could answer questions on a variety of topics. Don’t miss this tour.
