“Beautiful Azores with best guides on the island! - Where to begin? We booked as a group of three couples celebrating our 25th wedding anniversaries and Marika and Felipe made our trip an extremely memorable one. From seeing the most beautiful sights, with stories and facts presented in an entertaining manner (always just enough information and laughs), to surprise picnics for our lunches in the most picturesque surroundings. Felipe is an extremely skilled driver - never an upset stomach - and we had the potential for queasiness with the winding roads and wine consumption! Marika was always making sure everyone in the group was engaged and having a good time. They made sure that we were going to see everything we wanted to and told us the itinerary for the day from the start. Always a smiling disposition through all our requests and questions. The attention to detail is spot on! We are looking forward to our return trip and booking with them again!” - Reviewed on 2024-09-17
