    Everything was amazing! I am extremely type A, and love to be in control of logistics. I found that they handled everything from island transfer, hotel bookings, and taxi service superbly. I also loved that we booked a tour but we were not in a group. We still had loads of free time to see the islands and never felt rushed. We could explore at our own pace, which is something we value on vacation. Will use them again!

    All in all one of our best experiences so far! The archipelago of the Azores is very beautiful and diverse and we had the chance to explore a big part of it within just one week. The program was very good and we never had a problem to follow the trail descriptions we got. All were pretty clear. Local transfers went seamless and drivers were very helpful. The ascent of Pico was demanding but truly rewarding. Thanks again for organizing this holiday for us!

    Great tour! The recent seismic activity on Sao Jeorge was about to spoil our holiday, but we were lucky and it ended just before our planned departure.

    After visiting the Canary Islands last year we decided to take our chances and despite the international situation to try and get to the Azores. We love islands and what we found here impressed us a lot. We did Sao Miguel on our own but we took an organized independent tour of the rest 3 islands. It all went smoothly! We hope to be able to visit also Madeira next year. Fingers crossed traveling will be safer and easier.
