This was an amazing PRIVATE TOUR with 4Platanos Tours. Our guide/driver was TIAGO, who was very professional and kind. Offered suggestions along the way, stopped where we wanted, and kept us right on time! Had a fantastic lunch at his family restaurant, which was tremendous. A full red snapper fish, along with veggies, bread, wine/ soft drinks. and dessert. Of course there were other things to choose also. Nice modern restaurant with a great view, and along the tour route. This was definitely worth the money especially if two or more of you are splitting the cost! Much more comfortable than hopping in/out of a van of 8 people. You will not be disappointed! This is the way to go!

Nilton of 4Plantanos was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide. He was very informative regarding the life, history and cultures of the Azores Islands and took us to the many highlights of the north part of Sao Miguel Island. We enjoyed our lunch at Nilton’s family restaurant which was included in the tour. Highly recommend 4Plantanos tours and would definitely use this operator to see the rest of the island during our next visit.

From the moment we were picked up, we knew we’d made the right choice! This small enterprise of two brothers (and their family restaurant) is a perfect way to see the west side of the island, culminating in a FABULOUS lunch (with equally amazing views). Every turn of the car brings more incredible scenery and knowledge of this island.

We loved this tour! We booked it last minute when our flight was cancelled and we had a full day in the Azores instead of a brief layover. This delay ended up being one of the best days of our trip, thanks to Ludgero. He and his family run this tour, which included lunch at their family restaurant, 4 Plantanos. We saw more than we anticipated and Ludgero was so kind and entertaining. The island is indescribably beautiful! We definitely will return for a full trip to the Azores and will use this company again! The tour ended with lunch, which was the best meal we had in two different trips to Portugal. Absolutely delicious!

This was a great experience. We went around the island and saw several views of the lakes and volcanoes. It was difficult due to the cloudy weather. Our driver knew many facts about the history of the island. We saw so much. We also had an excellent lunch at 4 plantos restaurant and made it back to the ship in plenty of time.
