Andre was great! A perfect English speaker and very knowledgeable. We were a party of four and his clean and comfortable Mercedes van was very comfortable.
The meeting information was horrible. It had us going across the island 30 min to meet. When I tried to call or message the provider, I never received a response. Had to call viator and they were not much help also
Greetings Mr Sims, We are deeply sorry that you were disappointed with the meeting information. We would like just to remind you the informstion you have on your ticket or displayed at the activity webpage "What's Included Free Pick up and Drop off at Your Hotel/Cruise Ship Terminal or Airport in Ponta Delgada In this case you didn't have to search us for 30 min in the city or be waiting for us since 1:00pm one your tour had a starting time at 2 pm. The only option was to meet us inside the cruise ship terminal where your ship docked, 1 min after exiting the ship's door. As you were dully informed, your guide was touring other clients in the morning period and, as you well understand, for safety reasons he is not allowed to asnwer phone calls while driving or guiding. As soon as it was possible, I personnally answered you call and informed you were we were, Inside the Terminal where you found us. I sincerely hope you had a great tour to the Island and return for a better experience in the Future Best Regards, Mário Rosa CEO and Local Guide IdilicAzores
Amazing overview of the island! Guide was super knowledgeable regarding island history and the things to do when or if we had more time.
Dear Mr Paul, Thank you so much that you enjoyed our tour and our Island. Hope to see you in the near future exploring another tour to a different area in our beautifull S Miguel Island
We had an amazing private tour in the Azores and couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Rodrigo was incredibly knowledgeable about the island, its history, and all the local spots, and he shared so many interesting details throughout the day. He was attentive, friendly, and very generous with his time, making sure we never felt rushed and that we got to see everything we wanted. His enthusiasm and professionalism really made the experience special. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does, and it made the tour even more enjoyable for us. We can’t recommend this tour enough — it’s an absolute must-do when visiting the Azores!
Greetings, Thank you for your review. The best profession in the world is the one that we make with joy and pleasure and most of all, we love to do it. Thank you for your kind words of appreciation, and hope to see you agin in a near future back in Azores. All the best Mário
The drive around the volcano was amazing and interesting. Mario was an excellent tour guide. Highly recommend.
Greetings, Thank you for your review and also thank you for comming to the Azores. There is a lot more to discover.... just come back:) All the best Mario
Rafael met us immediately past security at the cruise terminal. He walked us to his Mercedes van parked 50 feet away. From that point on, he shared the love of his home with us. He did a great job taking us to all the places to see and was able to miss the busloads of tourists in each spot. It was a pleasant way to see the island in a leisurely way. Can't recommend this enough.
Wonderful tour. Very friendly guide who was super knowledgeable, it was so enjoyable and nice way to learn about the area.
We had a wonderful tour guide, Jose. He was extremely knowledgeable and informative about Ponte Delgado and the tour of Sete Cidades. It was a wonderful tour, we saw many beautiful places, and he was extremely accommodating. We would highly recommend this tour.
Greetings! Thank you for your great review. It was our pleasure to welcome you in S Miguel Azores and take you all to some of the best spots on the Island. Hope to see you again in a near future. Mario
We spent a lovely afternoon with Mario. The van was comfortable and nice way to spend a day after several days of hiking. Mario was so informative and interesting! The views were breathtaking and surprises were welcome. We stopped off for a snack and rest and then finished with a visit to a pineapple farm. Completely unexpected! I highly recommend this tour.
Hi Mrs Tara, Thank you for your review. It was my pleasure to welcome you and your family and take you all to some of the best spots on the Island. Hope to see you again in a near future. All the best Mario
Erik was a great guide and friendly with kids. He helped watch our little one and even entertained them at the many places we stopped. He grew up on the island with a long family history there so was great to talk to him about island life and what to explore. He knew alternatives for places to eat and places to take us.
Greetings Mr Ajay, Thank you for your review. All our best efforts to make your feel comfortable and at Home. Warm regards, Mario
