A self confessed Porto Geek.. but we all loved it. He also shared his top tips for us to use going forward. Despite a heavy shower, it did not detract from the trip so please do not let the weather put you off. The e-bikes are excellent so no real fitness required (but turn on to Eco and have a decent workout!) We would def do again. 10/10”

“We planned this trip with a Jeep Tour and then at the last moment changed our mind to the Quad bike/buggy tour….. what an incredible thrill to actually be in charge of the vehicle going up, steep hills/mountains through the terrain… We recovered so much of the area and it’s just hard to explain, but our guide was fantastic. We plan to come back to the Azores and this is something I would do again.”

If there were a longer tour when you can actually visit the monastery and the Maat museum I would book it. Our guide was terrific and always made sure we were following closely, stopped traffic for us too. I really enjoyed this experience, would like it to be a little less rushed”

I definitely recommend this trip for all that like to explore a little off the beaten path. My recommendation would be to take a warm jacket or lots of layers. Though the weather said 18, I was underprepared and if not for Betsy (on the tour), who was kind enough to lend me her down jacket my experience might have been different. My only recommendation to the tour company would be…”
