The gem of the Azores

Guide was well-versed in the location, landscape, and best places for pictures. One of the best excursions we’ve been on and worth it. Awesome views of the caldera (imploded volcano). The gem of the Azores.

Bruno was a wonderful guide and we had a great time. I was a bit nervous with two children, but everything was very safe! A great time!

Highlight of my birthday trip

Published on Nov, 2024

Far and away the highlight of my trip! Guide was excellent. The tour kicks off from his driveway, where his friendly dog hangs around while you check-in and get ready. Machines were new, clean and well maintained. The tour takes you around Sete Cidades via routes you normally wouldn't hike. Half day afternoon tour felt like plenty of time and our strategy of heading out in the afternoon worked for the clouds burning off!
