Azores.com Reviews and Testimonials

We had a wonderful time during our trip this past week.  We're telling everyone! (Facebook post)

Huge kudos to the guides who took on personal day trips making our vacation to the Azores such a special and memorable experience! They shared their personal knowledge and insights, which you don't get from a bus tour. They also got us access to sites that the bus tours couldn't reach. If you're planning a trip to the Azores, check out the link below (and ask for Eunice).

Azores 4 Island Tour

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.

My wife and I look for unique places to travel to. This was our 25th Wedding Anniversary trip and we wanted something very special. The Azores experience exceeded our expectations 100 times over. Every island was spectacular, yet each was quite different. FLORES stood out as the most beautiful. FAIAL was our favorite, mostly because we absolutely loved the town of Horta. PICO showcased lava rock throughout, which was fascinating. Homes, walls, vineyards ... The presence of the black rock was everywhere. TERCEIRA was all about color. A Brazilian influence of colors on buildings we did not see on any other island. We loved it!! SAO MIGUEL, being the most populated, was vibrant and rich in history. Everything about the trip was amazing. The private tour guides were all five stars. Hotels were great. Restaurants and wines were outstanding. And, best of all, Azores.com was absolutely wonderful. Catarina was excellent throughout ... the advance planning of the trip, confirming the accommodations, setting up the flights, answering every question we had ... she did everything with the highest level of customer service. The trip could not have been better. We have traveled to many places in the world and this was our best trip ever. We will always remember and cherish the experience!!

We booked 4 islands. All went perfectly seamless. All the hotels were great places to stay. All the prearranges tours and lunches were outstanding. The entire trip was fantastic and it was a absolute joy working with Eunice she was always a pleasure and wonderful person. We were totally delighted with the holiday and would book through her again.

Sincerely yours
Robin

Bom dia Eunice. When we were in Ponta Delgada we called in to thank you personally for all your help - but were informed that you had just gone on holiday. We had a really remarkable and enjoyable time. Apart from the beauty of your islands the most enduring memory was of the friendliness and helpfulness of all the Azoreans that we met - we hope it stays that way once again many thanks.

We will call u when traveling to the Azores or Portugal , you are amazing!!

Just wanted to tell you that our Azores trip was wonderful !!!! Thanks so much for all your help. The flights and hotel worked out fine - they put 2 twin beds together for us. The Pousada de Santa Cruz was awesome, I'm so glad you recommended it - we had a lovely view of the harbor and the dinners were fabulous (we ate almost all of our meals right at the hotel). The trip to Pico and our guide Antonio was great (he showed us so many things on the island). We can't wait to go back and see some of the other islands! Maybe next year, but hopefully we will learn a little more Portuguese by then!
Thanks again!

Hi Suzanne, Paula and I got back last night from our honeymoon in the Azores. We had a great trip, really enjoyed the culture, food, and people--our flights and hotels worked out very well, especially the Hotel do Colegio in Ponta Delgada, we found it to be an excellent place, very accommodating. Thank you so much for setting up our trip. We're going to tell everyone about the Azores and if anyone shows interest in visiting, we'll direct them to you.

Hi Eunice--
We just got back last night from the trip, which we thoroughly enjoyed.  And now we all want to go back again! Adegas de Pico, and the island itself, was wonderful.  The restaurant in the village was excellent--4 star.  We LOVED the cottage, and Maria could not have been more helpful.  We've been whale watching in Cape Cod Bay and Faial was SO much better.The flowers were just beginning to come out and everything was starting to bloom.  I can just imagine how gorgeous everything will be in another month.  I will do a trip advisor entry for Adegas de Pico, the Pousada (sp) on Faial which was a highlight of that island, and Azores,com. On Faial we explored the lava tubes--amazing.  Having cars on all the islands allowed us to really get around and explore.  It was fascinating how different each island was.  And the cars were fine. One of the more difficult things was finding restaurants and cafes--there are very few signs and most of them are quite small and hidden.  Once we found them, the food was uniformly delightful--now I need to find a cookbook with Azorean recipes! The Hotel de Colegio has a great restaurant, but the rooms are getting very tired and need to be redone. Right now I am going to do laundry.  I will send you copies of my reviews.

And THANK YOU AGAIN for all your help.  You made this vacation easy and delightful!

Hi Suzanne, We had a wonderful time! And we want to thank you for your help in planning and scheduling. During the first several days, it was as if you were along on the trip with us. My friend, Laurice, would say, "Suzanne did good. This is perfect." I do want to give you some feedback on Estalagem dos Clerigos hotel in Nordeste. The staff person who checked us in was not welcoming or helpful. We (two "senior" gray-haired ladies) dragged our luggage up the stairs in front of the staff person, and she never told us there was an elevator. The room smelled unpleasant and a gentleman was quick to respond to our concern by moving our room. But in truth, both rooms had bad odors. I think it was from the carpet and the humidity. The other hotels were splendid, but the one in Nordeste did not hold up in comparison. Nonetheless, we had a lovely time! We met a delightful young woman named Elisabet Mendoca in the Tourist Information Office who was gracious and helpful. I don't know if you have connections with the people who provide tourist services in Nordeste, but we wanted to mention how helpful she was. She helped us really enjoy being in Nordeste, in spite of the unpleasant welcome at the hotel. So once again I thank you for your help in planning a trip that both my friend and I will never forget! Best regards,

Cresson

Just a note to thank you for the excellent Transfer and Car Hire arrangements you made for us during our recent visit to The Azores. All worked very well indeed and the car rental choice proved to be a very good and helpful company. The cars were good. Thank you again for your help and we look forward to visiting The Azores again in the future.

Best wishes,

Maurice Davies

We have just returned from our week in Ponta Delgada and wanted to drop you this note to say thanks for organizing the three excursions for us which we enjoyed very much, the children loved the whale watching although we only managed to see dolphins and we enjoyed the jeep safari and the taxi trip to Sete Cidades both our drivers where good hosts, they arrived on time and made the trips most enjoyable. The scenery we saw was breath taking. Thanks once again for organising our trips it was a brilliant service and one that I would recommend to anyone.

Kindest regards,
Gulin
