Do this tour and ask for Natasha as your guide - Do this specific tour and ask specifically for Natasha. She is a certified guide with a master's degree in tourism (meaning the Azores). Natasha is a safe driver who conveys the story of the Azores and her love of her homeland. She is also organized and communicates well in terms of English (native fluency) and in terms of setting expectations. The outstanding trour amongst several other outstanding trips this vacation. This tour is good for people of all ages and abilities (pricy for 2 but reasonable for 4, you do need to be able to get in and out of an enclosed jeep). She even took us for a short break to get an afternoon snack of local pastry (we asked for this). The thing I learned from doing this private tour was the value for the price paid and how to ask for the following from a tour company : do you have insurance in case I miss my ship? Are your guided certified? What happens if there is bad weather, do we cancel or can the tour be modified? Important lessons. The views we had were utterly breathtaking. Be aware that there is a reason for a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Some of the roads are rough. A 'Portuguese massage"! But not too bad. And the views were absolutely worth the bumps!

Inside Access! - This tour with Natasha was exceptional! Being in the 4x4 jeep gave us inside access to the Sete Cidades beauty that a bus tour would not. Natasha stopped whenever we wanted to take a picture and that was very often! The dirt road part of the tour was exciting as well as interesting! We would book with Natasha again if returning to Pinta Delgado!! Thanks Natasha!!👏❤️

The best experience ever! - Simply put, Natascha was the most gracious of hosts - she was prompt, gelled with our group and made our experience magical. The tour itself was wonderful, and we are so blessed to have seen the Azores in the comfort of a 4x4 in a private setting. I cannot recommend this tour enough.

Best way to see Sete cidades - Ponta Delgada was a stop on our cruise, we didn’t have but few hours to explore the island so we decided to take a private Jeep tour…best decision we could have made!
Natacha. Our tour guide picked us up at the port and drove us to the highlands, unfortunately the weather wasn’t in our favor and the fog made visibility of the Sete Cidades difficult but that wasn’t an issue for Natacha, she took us thought back roads, small villages, and to the shore of the lakes.
We were able to see the lakes and their beautiful colors! She is a native of the Azores so we got some history and información of the way of life in this beautiful place! Finally she dropped us off at the oldest bar in the city.
Natacha is delightful and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend taking this tour instead of the bus tours, almost every passenger of the cruise ship told us they did not see anything and it was a waste if time.

High recommended tour guide and experience - Brilliant half day driven by Natasha around the lakes. She is an exceptional tour guide - asking what we would like to know as well as telling us her knowledge. She was very kind to the children (9 &11) and ensured that we got to do everything we wanted to, even dropping us at a more convenient location on the way back. Cannot recommend enough. On the tour itself - wow spectacular views and experience! You do go off-road and very high into the mountains, but never did it feel unsafe.

Great way to see the beauty of San Miguel - This was so much fun! Natasha provided a fabulous half-day trip into the hills on San Miguel for me and two friends, when we visited the Azores in July, 2023. We were able to go off-road, which made the tour even better; we could optimize the views and avoid the crowds. She was gracious, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. Highly recommend,

Around the rim with Natasha! - Our tour guide was Natasha Silvestre who in addition to being a skilled, seasoned, and salty driver was an interesting historian, humorous guide and passionate and patriotic azorean.
We loved the trip, she gave us ample time and she was interested in our feedback and reaction to San Miguel’s lush greenery and dramatic coastline.
I would recommend this excursion to everyone. We hope to be guided by Natasha again someday.

Best of the Azores - My husband and I actually spent 5 days with Natasha, enjoying many of the listed activities and exploring many of the beautiful corners of island. Her knowledge and love of her island were obvious from start to finish. Her English was great and she was very personable. She had each day’s excursion well planned out but was willing and able to easily adjust the itinerary if we requested. She offered the perfect mix of nature with some towns and treats that we wouldn't have found on our own.
I would highly recommend using Seazores to anyone planning a trip to the Azores; you will go home with a strong desire to return for more.

Amazing - Despite the weather, Natasha planned the perfect day around it while still being able to see all the highlights we wanted. Would highly recommend and will be utilizing them when we come back. Thank you!
