Review Time
We visited five islands in the Azores and travelled by air between islands. The trip was well designed- the first day on each island was arrival and free time, the second day was touring the island, the third day was free to relax or explore the island further- a nice balance. The tour guides were local and all were very knowledgeable , personable and good drivers. We were unable to book superior hotels due to our late booking but we visited them and I would recommend booking them. Our hotels were fine and well located except for the hotel in Flores which was weak. This islands are beautiful, each one different and charming.A very enjoyable and relaxing trip.

Here's the note I sent our Travel Planners. I thought that having a tour planned by the Azores.Com Travel Experts provided us with an ideal, relaxed vacation in which we could explore in carefree style.Dear Catarina and Eunice,What a wonderful vacation Fran and I experienced because of your fine planning.We enjoyed the perfect mix you gave us of sightseeing with our drivers, and free time.It was so nice and easy to be greeted when we arrived at each airport, be taken to our hotels, and taken on tours, and then returned to the airports.The hotels were well located and nice. (On a side note, I had wanted to stay in a Pousada and enjoyed the Pousada Sao Sebastiao we stayed in while in Angra do Heroismo.)Our guide Joao in Terceira was terrific. He picked Fran and I up separately since our arrivals were at different times. His Tesla was immaculate and stocked with water bottles. I appreciated that Joao advised me of two things to see the day I arrived because they would not be open the other day I had free time. That meant a lot. Joao made sure to show us all the top spots while on tour and added in the Military Base.Nancy picked Fran and I up in Terceira. She was nice, accommodating, and knowledgeable. She also had clean vehicles for us. We were lucky to have the perfect timing to see the 50th year anniversary of Independence event in Horta. She added that in at the end of the day – and we drove up just as it began. We had fun taking the ferry to Pico with her and exploring that island as well.Our Hotel Canal was so well located and we enjoyed our harbor view. In Sao Miguel we enjoyed our Hotel Marina Atlantico. Jose Miguel was our driver for two days. We appreciated his touring and stories. He also made sure we had well-working, clean cars for our drives.Thank you very much!Sincerely,Holly Hickman and Fran Roux

An amazing journey with an amazing company. Eunice has been responsible for facilitating two of the tours we have done on Sao Miguel. The first on was with 16 family members, the most recent one (last week) was with 41 family members. She aced it both times!

Our trip to the Azores was outstanding. Eunice did a spectacular job to make sure we had a great experience. Each of the three guides we had on the three islands we visited were top notch. We thank Eunice and azores.com for making this a memorable adventure. I would recommend azores.com to anyone!

We thoroughly enjoyed Terceira. The guide, Joao was terrific. He was very informative. He was waiting for us at the airport. His car was very comfortable. We enjoyed him thoroughly. The location of Azoris Angra Garden was comfortable although the room could have been cleaner. In Sao Miguel, our guide,Ricardo was ok. He frequently (at least 4-5 times) told us how much greater the lakes are in Sao Miguel compared to Terceira. It got a bit old. He drove just the 2 of us (plus the guide) in a van that wasn't very comfortable. Furnas was the highlight on Sao Miguel but I think 2 days would have been enough instead of 3 nights. Hotel Marina Atlantica was just ok. Building under construction. Didn't give us drinking water. Room was ok but not great.Dealing with your organization was just so so.After I first requested information, it took a week before I got any information. A few typos were confusing. Not sure why my information included a guide in Faial and Pico. This was unecessary and confusing.
