- 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.

Great tour with Eduardo! - We had a wonderful time with Eduardo! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the island’s history and shared so much insight about the local flora—it really added depth to the experience. We learned a lot and truly enjoyed every moment. We’d absolutely recommend this tour!

Nice tour - Tour was really great and the guide Filipe was very friendly and informative. I wasn't lucky with the weather but Filipe did his best to catch the viewpoints. Once I decide to visit Azores one more time, I will rebook this tour to enjoy Sete Cidades again

Best tour group! - We had an incredible time using Into the Wild tours! While the weather wasn’t the best that day, our tour guide Filipe was absolutely amazing, I learned so much about the Azores history & he took us around to see the sites & took time to explain our surroundings. He was actually the highlight of the tour itself! Cannot say enough good things about Filipe & Into the Wild tours, book with them! Pick up & drop off was perfect and the tour van was comfy. We will use them again next time!!

Great tour - Phillipe(spelling wrong): Outstanding tour. Could tell he loved his country and the natural beauty of his country. Small group tour. Shore excursion. 8 of us. 2 separate families. Minivan. He used a microphone in the van which was helpful. Plenty of time with each destination.

This tour will enable you... - This tour will enable you to see beautiful vistas, the green and blue lakes, and explore the western side of Sao Miguel. Our day was very foggy so it was difficult to see some of the views. However, our guide wisely did the itinerary in reverse and it did clear up enough for us to enjoy some very incredible sights. The one negative thing was the van was filled with 8 passengers and it was very tight. The guide had to orate in both English and Portuguese. That was fine, but it would be more comfortable with less people.

Weather Dependent - The guide was very nice and very knowledgeable, but I wish the tour had been canceled. Due to weather conditions we didn't see 95% of what we had paid to see.
