Very funny but loose quality food - The eating firm didn't have much quality. But that didn't stop us having a great time. The tour is very nice. Children had a great time and adults better still. It is a highly recommended activity with children as it allows access to many places that cars cannot.

Great day, despite fog - We had a great day on our quad bike tour. The quad bikes were well maintained, and the guide started off slowly to give us a chance to acclimate. There was a lot of fog the day of our tour, but the guide did a great job working around that, to optimize our experience and views. We very much enjoyed the conversation at lunch with our guide. And the food was excellent! We 100% recommend this tour. It was a fantastic way to see the west side of the island!

11 tours - not 1 bad experience. - 11 trips with Filipe and his tours. Every time different. Every time positive. No complaints. If you come to the Azores and don't go with Filipe on this tour, you're missing out. Today was amazing weather but in 11 trips I've seen it all. Regardless of how hot or cool or windy, wet or dry - Filipe knows how to make the tour enjoyable, scenic and unique. I bting colleagues, business partners, family, friends and sometimes come alone for the mix of peace and adventure. Highly recommended any time of year!

Great drive off the beaten path!! - We did the full day buggy tour, awesome experience, a must do! This tour is amazing, highly recommended! Very well organized is suitable for everyone from solo rides to family groups. Our tour guide Filipe was great and shared information about area historical facts and fun local folk stories. The views from the many stops along the way are breathtaking! We also had a very nice lunch at a restaurant in town. Thank you Filipe for the memorable day!

Amazing quad tour of Sete Cidades - We did a full day ATV tour with Azores Outdoor Activities at Sete Cidades. It was amazing! The tour was great, with amazing views of the volcano and lakes. The full day tour lasted about 7hr, but with numerous stops, including a very nice lunch. The quads were comfortable and the day went very fast. We got to see the lakes from multiple vantage points, including lake level. My family would absolutely recommend this excursion. Filipe was a great guide. Thanks for a memorable day!
