We got picked up at our meeting spot on time. Delfim asked about our main points of interest and planned our route surrounding it as well as providing his own recommendations along the way. During the tour, he stopped several times to take pictures as well as provided the history and facts about the island. He was very knowledgable, friendly and funny. We were able to see all that we had planned and more, and by the end of the tour we felt that we had explored so much! We would definitely book another tour and would highly recommend to family and friends!

Car rental prices were outrageous so my bf & I booked this tour instead, and it actually ended up being our favourite day in the Azores! We went to some very remote/underrated places that we would’ve have seen had we been driving ourselves because we didn’t know they existed. The whole experience is customizable depending on what’s important to you. Our guide Delfim was amazing. He was exceptionally warm and funny - we genuinely felt like we spent the day with a good friend. He was chalk full of knowledge of the history and geology of the island as well. While the private tour is more expensive than the group tours available, we felt that our experience with Delfim was well worth the extra cash as he went above & beyond to make our day incredible & we didn’t have to adhere to any strict timelines or plans. And of course, it is always nice to support a small business :-)
