  • Best of the Azores: 7 days in São Miguel reviewer 1
    · October 8th, 2024
    Obviously I didn’t ask enough questions, because I was expecting a tour with other people for the seven days. I was travelling solo, and all I experienced was daily tours with different people each time. The guides were wonderful and took us to the best of Sao Miguel, but I stayed at the hotel by myself and that was disappointing and somewhat lonely. Won’t do that again.

    Dear Penny, thank you so much for taking the time to write this review. We're glad you enjoyed the Azores tour and that the guides met your expectations. Traveling alone is very liberating, but it can also be lonely and not everyone likes it that way.... Show more

    Overall it was good. I would recommend a different whale watching company for a larger boat, you can't see anything when you're at sea level and the boat was uncomfortable. I also would recommend a different tour for the Nordeste day - it's too many hours in the car. We didn't go to the liquor company on one of the days. But I really liked the sete cidades day and the tea plantation/hotsprings day. The hotel was great, clean, big rooms and in a great location. The tour guides were courteous and attentive. The transfers between the hotel and airport were great too.

    Overall, very well-organized! The tour guides and hotel were great, and we got a very good sense of Ponta Delgado and Sao Miguel. It was nice to have some free days built in. Only downside was the whale watch boat was very small and I wish we knew that in advance. A very good itinerary and all tour operators were reliable and friendly.

    Our group had a great time! The hotel was great (clean, centrally located, excellent breakfast). Tour guides were wonderful too. We enjoyed all the day tours and loved Terceira island. There was an abrupt and unfortunate time change and subsequent weather delay coming back from Terceira, but that was likely just due to Sata airlines. Would also recommend motion sickness meds for the whale watch as multiple guests were sick for hours.

    Just back from a great week in Azores. I miss wearing my tshirts! Thank you for putting everything together, we´ll definitely come back again. I recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the island with zero hassle, everything is prepared you just need to show up. The hotel was really well located, very close to everything and great for our night walks.

    So, me and my partner, both in our sixties and hailing from Canada, took a spin with Portugal Travel Center's "Best of Azores Tour." it was like stepping into a dream. From the greenery to the crystal-clear waters, it felt like we found our own little paradise. Island hopping and cool local experiences made this tour just what we needed – not too fancy, just good vibes and fantastic memories.
