    I have been deal with this bike shop since 2019. I have rented bikes from them on several occasion. I have purchased two bikes as well as all my gear from them. More recently I rent several of their new Scott Strike E-bikes. I highly recommend doing this to explore the island or joining them on a guided ride. If you need and service work done on either your Road or MTB bikes they do great work.
    Keep up the great service.
    Thanks for everything see you again soon

    When you go to Sao Miguel, Açores, you have to try this. It is an amazing experience. You feel like an actual race car driver. Incredible adranaline rush.

    Can't visit the islands without stopping here and taking a spin.

    We rented a car with ANC. They were waiting for us at the airport and are taking us to the rental office. It is a short drive of 5 minutes. The staff was very friendly. They took the time to check the car. We had to pay a deposit of 500 euros. When we returned the car, we got the deposit back.

    I know how difficult choosing a car company is and I can only recommend Azores Easy Rent. Great service since I made the reservation explaining me the process so that i wouldnt worry (we would arrivelate at night).
    Our flight was delayed and they adapted. Seamless and fast check in upon arrival. Then the next day we had a little problem with the driver’s window, it stopped working. They immediately proposed us to come by and got another car they had available (this was luck too!). I think good service is not only when everything goes great but also when solutions are found, and this was definitely our case. Both cars were spotless and in very good state. Staff is super friendly and efficient.
    Checkout was done at the specified time and quickly. Thank you so much to everyone at Azores Easy Rent for treating us so well!!
    I recommend taking their easy insurance so that you dont need to worry about anything - some places are tricky and you never know! (nothing happened to us though).

    An excellent trip with cycling around Lake Furnas, observing the geothermal cooking, swimming in the iron rich pools and breathtaking scenery. Dina was superb in helping us to choose great bikes and picking us up later than the scheduled time.

    The MTB excursions of Sete Cilades and Furnas were out of this world. We will never forget this experience. Our guide Emmanuel was the best, his knowledge of Azores, his MTB level is unbelievable.

    The opportunity to do a private couple tour was amazing. He made us feel like we have known each other forever and we were just hanging out with a friend "Ride Like A Local" is their motto and they are true to their word. full day with lunch in the park was delicious and a beer and a snack in Furnas was very nice.

    Barbara organized everything and Emmanuel did the rest.

    See you next year!

    Incredible adventure start to finish! I rented a bike for the day, but ended up with amazing service on top of the bike itself.

    Emanuel dropped the bike off at my residence in Ponta Delgada and gave me tips for trails. I was going to hit Lagoa do Fogo but Emanuel informed me that those trails had not been maintained recently, so he saved me a complete disaster of a day. He then pointed me on a route from Sete Cidades to Mosteiros including 4 different trails, one of which was not on Trailforks. He was able to pinpoint the start on Google Maps by memory so I was able to find the start no problem!

    The bike was incredibly nice (Transition Sentinel, worth over $5,000 new), well-maintained, and they were easygoing about the whole hand-off process.

    Highly recommend and would absolutely use them again to go check out Furnas next time!

    After having done 3 long hikes in 4 days, my husband and I wanted to give our feet a break. Biking was a perfect way to get around Furnas Lake! We picked up the bikes from a van at the lake and we were able to return them to a gas station in Furnas at the end of our ride for a flat rate (I think it was around 7 euros per person - I can't remember for sure as it was a couple of weeks ago). The bikes and helmets were in good condition. We were also supplied with some helpful maps and directions. This was a great way to get around the lake and still have enough time and energy to visit some of the attractions there, like the Monitoring and Research Centre and the Jose de Canto Garden (it has a lovely waterfall that I would not have felt like walking to if my feet were already tired from walking around the lake).

    Nuno is am amazing, kind man who really likes to help. The bike was great, Nuno pampered me with a repair kit with a pump and interior in case I got stuck, a large and wide bag that hung on the bike and was very useful for me but beyond the bike Nino helped me a lot! Information on corona tests, tidal times and what helped me the most - transportation from place to place on the island with the bike at a price that is much lower than the price of a regular taxi. Each ride became a tour where we stopped at spectacular viewpoints , at the tea factories on the island .. in the lake .. Nuno always spiced up the trips, with details and information about life on the island. Each ride with him was an experience in itself! Thanks Nuno !! My trip would not have been the same without you

    O Gabriel não é só um guia, é O GUIA!
    A minha estadia de uma semana em São Miguel com a minha família, os meus pais (os seniores de 80 anos) e a minha filha de 15 anos e filho de 18 anos foi absolutamente fantástica graças à orientação (lugares, actividades e restaurantes), companhia e carinho que o Gabriel nos dedicou,
    O Gabriel reúne três características, nem sempre fáceis de encontrar num guia, e que o tornam especial: é inteligente, divertido e dedicado. Ficámos a conhecer São Miguel, locais mais e menos populares, gentes da terra, história e hábitos locais, proporcionando momentos de lazer e de qualidade para cada um de nós, nas diferentes faixas etárias. Os meus pais e filhos ficaram encantados.
    Recomendo vivamente a agência do Gabriel, profissionalismo e atendimento personalizado, a pessoa que faz a diferença para uma estadia única e a desejar repetir.

    Gabriel is not just a guide, he is THE GUIDE!
    My week-long stay in São Miguel with my family, my parents (80-year-old seniors) and my 15-year-old daughter and 18-year-old son was absolutely fantastic thanks to the guidance (places, activities and restaurants), company and affection that Gabriel dedicated to us.
    Gabriel brings together three characteristics, not always easy to find in a guide, that make him special: he is intelligent, fun and dedicated. We got to know São Miguel, more and less popular places, local people, history and local habits, providing moments of leisure and quality for each one of us, from different age groups. My parents and offspring were delighted.
    I highly recommend Gabriel's agency, professionalism and personalized service, the person who makes the difference for a unique stay and looking forward to come back again.

    Just completed a fantastic riding vacation on Sao Miguel. All credit goes to Alberto Botelho at the Azores Bike Shop in Ponta Delgada . We had been corresponding with him for several months prior, about renting bikes and touring the island. Alberto had everything lined up for our arrival including route and logistical advice. I cannot imagine a more dialed in local resource. He even personally arranged our shuttle from Furnas back to the airport. Great full service shop with impressive personal service.

    My friends and I just returned from a wonderful 7 night stay at this lovely eco estate in Sao Miguel! We absolutely loved our stay here, from the wonderful breakfasts of local breads and fresh fruits to the AMAZING gin and tonic every night at the gin library! People all over come here just to see this! Over 1200 Gins, really cool! The rooms were so nice and extremely clean! The people are just wonderful too! Rueben, Caterina, and Ricardo were so warm and welcoming and the owners Caroline and Ali were wonderful too! We loved seeing the chickens every morning and gazing upon their beautiful garden and farm. Also Tony, Gina, and Snowball the kitties...I miss seeing them everyday haha! I absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Ponta Delgada...it was truly an experience...a home away from home! I hope to see them again soon! Thank you! :)

    This year's adventure found us mountain biking in the Azores, and our guide, Carlos of Bike Safari Tour, was just awesome! The effort he put into making our trip a memorable one was evident and greatly appreciated. He is an incredibly skilled mountain biker who has probably been sonsored by Red Bull but I forgot to ask. He is from the Azores and is very knowledgeable about the history and current events. We had delicious food at every lunch stop, and Carlos translated everything from Portuguese to English for us, picked us up and dropped us off, explained what we were going to encounter on each trail, accommodated our requests to stop for shopping, and took us to all the best places to swim.

    We had such a wonderful time and highly recommend Carlos and Bike Safari!
