A fab half day trip to Sete Cidades - Great half day trip - we got to see some spectacular views. We loved being amongst the natural beauty of Sete Cidades. Particularly liked the pretty walk to Lagoa do Canario and the slightly challenging short walk to Boca do Inferno. We had the added bonus of spending an hour of free time down on the lakes of Sete Cidades which was amazing. Our guide Eduardo provided us with lots of interesting information and the minibus was very comfortable. Highly recommend this trip.

- The best way to visit Sete Cidades if you don’t have a car! The tour includes stops at the most breathtaking viewpoints, where you can truly soak in the stunning landscapes. There's also a short stop down by the Lagoa blu. Paolo, our passionate guide, even introduced me to kima, my new Azorean addiction 😊 Highly recommended tour!

A perfect way to get a taste of this part of the island! - My group of four friends loved our tour with Eduardo! The pick-up was very smooth and we were joined by another couple, but the van was still very spacious and we were all comfortable. Eduardo was full of interesting information about the sights we were seeing, but also about flora/fauna, São Miguel Island, the Azores, and Portuguese history. We learned a lot and we felt very safe. Eduardo was great about giving us information, but also letting us wander a little and take in things for ourselves. We loved the surprise of visiting one of the pineapple plantations in Ponta Delgada at the end of the tour because we were hungry, and it ended up being quite a hot afternoon, so the pineapple treats were amazing! We definitely recommend this tour for a group or even solo. It's a great way to see this part of the island with an expert who can drive the very narrow roads.
