Our 4 island Azores trip in September was truly memorable. Eunice Costa planned a flawless trip for us, always with a smile. The pickups and transfers were all exact, the hotels very comfortable with very helpful staff. We also want to praise our outstanding guides Joao, Tiago and Pedro, who were very knowledgeable, good humored and flexible, and we greatly enjoyed every excursion. The drivers, including Nancy and John, were just as friendly and helpful. We highly recommend Azores.com for Azores travel!

Good Morning Catarina, I wanted to take this time, and share that I had an amazing trip to the Azores! Each one of the islands I visited were so very unique from the others. Gorgeous views, great people & good food & pastries. The location of the accommodations were perfect! And the tour guides, Teago, Nancy & Francisco were very knowledgeable & kind, and it was obvious, they enjoyed showing off their beautiful islands! I am so thrilled to visit these 3 islands. Thank you Catarina for all you did to make this trip really awesome!!!. Much appreciated! Kind regards, Sharon

Trip was all planned between four different islands without a single problem. All hotels, car rentals, ferries, and flights were planned for us without issue. Extremely satisfied with what Catarina put together for us.

The four driver-guides were exceptionally thoughtful and helpful. Beautiful islands seen at ca leisurely pace that suited us older travellers.

Eunice was extremely helpful in giving us information before we booked. The car hire, hotels and flights were all organised for us on our self-drive tour of the Azores which made it very easy and stress-free for us. Highly recommended

Although not super communicative after buying the trip about what to expect, all the tours and the transfers were absolutely on time the tours were excellent in quality. The tour guides were great. As for the free days; it is easy to get taxis and the rates to the common destinations are fixed ( no price shopping) and the buses are easy to use.

Dear Eunice Costa, Now that we’be been back home for a couplen months and rested up from our exciting adventures, I wanted to take this time to tell you again how wonderful you were to work with in planning an unforgettable experience. We had a little “glitch” in our arrival from New York. The airport at Ponta Delgada was closed due to heavy fog and rain, so our flight was diverted to Lisbon. We were there for most of the day, and when we finally were able to get to Ponta Delgada, we had missed our flight to Flores. However, SATA Airlines arranged overnight accommodation at a hotel near the airport, issued us vouchers for taxi transportation and meals. We were very happy about that. It was around noon when we finally made it to Flores the following day, and Lurdes Noya was there to greet us and give us a 4-hour tour before she took us to Hotel Ocidental. She met us the next morning and we completed touring the rest of the beautiful island. She took us to the airport and even got us checked in for our flight to Pico. When we arrived in Pico, Nancy Matos picked us up and got us settled into our accommodation in Madalena. We had a fabulous tour of Pico the next day with Nancy and the driver (I think his name was Gonzalo, but not 100% sure). It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed every minute of our tour and the knowledge both Nancy and Gonzalo had about the island. The ferry ride from Pico to São Jorge was cold, but not unbearable, and we saw the most fantastic sunset. When we arrived in Velas, Antonio was waiting and got us settled into his B&B. Our guide was Luis Maciel; he showed us an amazing time, and we loved the entire island. We were very happy to learn that Nancy would also be our guide when we got to Horta. It was Mother's Day in Portugal on the Sunday we toured Faial, so there were not a lot of people out and about. We discovered, and drove through the village (or I guess maybe a parish?) where my Avó Sylva’s father was born and raised - Praia do Norte. It was very special to know that I was where my Bisavó Joseph Antonio Leal was from. Each island had it’s own unique character but each was absolutely breathtaking with their lush, green landscapes, the beautiful fajas, the non-stop ocean views, and the lovely people. We loved seeing every one of them. And, mostly, each of our guides - Lurdes, Nancy, and Luis - were fantastic. The three of them were so informative and knowledgeable about the islands, and very proud to be Portuguese. They were so patient with all of the questions we had about the islands, and would translate into English when we wanted to know specific words and even patiently helped us pronounce the Portuguese words correctly. Not too sure we succeeded very well, but they were always encouraging in our attempts. 😊 We had such an excellent time and hope to make it happen again. I can’t think of anymore wonderfully descriptive words to use to let you know how much it meant to me to work with you, and the kindness, guidance, and planning you did to to ensure we were able to have the vacation of a lifetime. I will definitely steer any family or friends to you for any vacations they may wish to take to the Azores or Portugal - because I want them to have THE BEST travel planner ever! Thanks so much for everything you did for us. Take great care. Bonita

In spite of a few initial challenges with our flights, our four island private tour (Sao Miguel, Terceira, Faial & Pico) was amazing. Our hotel accommodations were exactly as described! Our personal favorite, was Terceira and we would return in a heart beat!
