La vache ! The best in the Azores, Don't hesistate
Do not hesitate to do this tour or any other tour with Funtastic Azores. Paulo is so knowledgable, and has the desire to share so much with you. It feels like he had 3 lifes to study and know this much. It was the best tour we've had in the azores (we did 2 with other companies). The only downside is that we couldnt do more tours with him as he was already booked. So don't hesitate and book all the tours you can in advance with him ! Thank you so much Paulo - Bye from France

Funtastic Azores Tours Is The Only Choice!
Paulo delivered an awesome customized tour over four days to my husband and I. We thoroughly enjoyed Lagoa do Fogo, Furnas, Sete Cidades, and the last day, a wonderful meal slow cooked by the steam from the fumarolic field underground, and an intriguing tour of a tea farm where we learned about how teas are grown, harvested, and cured. There so much good to say, my words will fall short in describing how wonderful Paulo made us feel. Each time we hiked, Paulo provided us with an overview of what to expect from the route to what we’d see. He is gracious, kind, professional, safe, takes pride in his work, and truly is concerned about guest satisfaction. Further, Paulo knows Sao Miguel’s diverse ecosystems taking the time to explain the various fauna, floras, volcanos, and so much more. We highly recommend Paulo and hope one day to return to learn more from Paulo. Very enjoyable!
Response from the operator: My review of your review would be also as a 5 star one. I am delighted and I am feeling fulfilled to be able to reach your satisfaction at this level. Thank you for everything.

Funtastic Azores: wonderful option
The excursion to Sete Cidades was fantastic. But the fact is that the day dawned cloudy and very foggy, it seemed that we had no luck choosing the date. However, Paulo (the guide) reviewed the weather and proposed a number of changes to the tour, to begin the tour later and aim to enjoy it better, as it was likely that after a few hours this fog would lift and the clouds would leave. Their recommendations and proposals fulfilled their function: we ended up enjoying Sete Cidades, because the weather improved and we even knew places not planned in the beginning. It proved a success.

Fun, knowledgeable and flexible tours!
Paulo is an excellent guide. He’s very knowledgeable and fun and flexible with scheduling activities. Our family of 6 ranging in ages from 5 to 69 all enjoyed the 2 days we spent with him last week. I highly recommend these tours.

Paulo is an excellent tour guide, go for it!!
Paulo is an excellent guide! He went above and beyond to provide us a private guide to Sete Cidades and Furnas. We loved his passion for the history of the islands and would highly recommend any tour with him.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review. Every bit of recognition is highly appreciated. Thank you.

Walking tour to Sete Cidades with picnic lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ponta Delgada.
How much does Walking tour to Sete Cidades with picnic lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $86 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ponta Delgada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Walking tour to Sete Cidades with picnic lunch take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ponta Delgada is not rushed.
Is Walking tour to Sete Cidades with picnic lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ponta Delgada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Walking tour to Sete Cidades with picnic lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Walking tour to Sete Cidades with picnic lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Walking tour to Sete Cidades with picnic lunch?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ponta Delgada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ponta Delgada and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Walking tour to Sete Cidades with picnic lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ponta Delgada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ponta Delgada?
+
On Outty we rank every Ponta Delgada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sao Miguel West Van Tour Sete Cidades and Fogo Lake plus Lunch, Jeep Tour Full Day Sete Cidades & Lagoa do Fogo with lunch and drinks included., Off the Beaten Track Half Day Sete Cidades Jeep Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ponta Delgada?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ponta Delgada?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
