There is no ugly place on this island - Despite a partially closed day, we managed to see many beautiful scenes. The guide made every effort to ensure that everyone had a good experience and is very knowledgeable about all the places and about the Azores in general

The best day we had while in the Azores - What an incredible day! Pedro, our tour guide was amazing and very patient as our group took many, many photos. He was also very knowledgeable and seemed like he truly loved his job. Lunch was delicious as well!! My husband and I had the best time. Highly, highly recommend this! Thank you!!

Has the most amazing... - Has the most amazing experience. Even with the rain in forecast and the fog that didn’t allow us to see the lakes from the top, our guide provided a lot of information and had a couple of stops showing us different sides. It’s beautiful! We liked the mix of paved road and dirt road. Many people seeing us drive up in the buggy’s would wave or smile with intrigue. Someone from our hostel was on foot, and recognized me and my friend and later that day commented on how cool that was.

Bucket list experience - Words cannot describe the feeling of driving an open air buggy on the rim of a volcano! This is an amazing tour full of stops and sights. The food served was buffet style, however, it was freshly cooked and delicious. I highly recommend this tour as a bucket list purchase! Our guide did an excellent job of keeping us on track while still allowing us the freedom of stopping where and for how long we wished. Do not miss this tour!

Very fun and complete experience. - Very fun experience both for the buggy and for the many places we visited. We stopped at different viewpoints and passed through many paths that are impossible to pass by car, it is a very complete route. The buggy is very enjoyable since you spend quite some time driving it. We were very lucky with the guide, Pedro, a man who knew many paths and thus avoided as many stretches of road as possible. He had lived in the area and that was a plus.

Fun and Educational! - What could be more fun AND educational than a trip through the city and into Sete Cidades on a UTV?? Luis was incredibly knowledgeable on both the geography, geology and the history of the area. What a fantastic, relaxing tour that maximized our time without ever feeling rushed. My teens adored it and I'm looking forward to doing it again!

UTV ride and island tour - Rueben was a great guide. Very enjoyable experience. We started out on a rather cloudy day, so he tailored the experience to suit, giving us an amazing view of the lakes at the clearest part of the day. He even have us some good advice for the remainder of our trip. Would highly recommend.
