You're in good hands with OnTravel Azores - This was the second time we used OnTravel when visiting the Azores. Our guide Felipe was on time picking us up at the designated meeting spot. He provided a wonderful tour of Moisteros, Cete Sidedes and Miradouro do Pico do Carvão. He took us to a wonderful cheese shop and the market. The company communicates well and is very organized. We'd highly recommend for any tour or transport need in the Azores.
