★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 15 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $78

Explore Sete Cidades from Ponta Delgada with pineapple greenhouses, crater lakes, mountain viewpoints, and a small-group guide.

“Exactly as promised. Really appreciated our guide getting out in front of the large busses. See Cidades without the crowd was beautiful. Each stop was precisely long enough and gave us an opportunity to get pictures of eachl site. Was rather foggy at the first few stops, but nothing to be done about that. Much cooler at the top, so be prepared. Wish I'd taken hand warmers and a hat! Pineapple plantation was very interesting- thought it would be similar to a generic in Apopka, but it was totally different than what I'd expected. Do go.”

“What a great tour! Our guide, Thiago, was waiting for us at the port when our cruise ship arrived, and he took us around the island to see the sights. He catered the tour to our areas of interests, and when we talked to other guests onboard the ship later, we realized that we had seen sights that no one else had seen. It was a great tour, Thiago is a great guy, and the Azores are absolutely beautiful, but get out of the touristy area!”
