More lovely comments in today - thank you!
“Super holiday in every respect. We loved the scenery and geography and abundance of flowers. It was all so peaceful and dividing the holiday between three islands made it feel like three holidays. The people were friendly and welcoming. Food excellent but lacked vegetables. Often one meal was plenty for two people. A great trip right from planning to doing and remembering. thank you for your help throughout.”
Mr & Mrs Birkmyre (Sao Miguel, Faial & Flores – 12-26 June 2010)

“Just to thank everyone who made the trip so enjoyable – Jake, Ian and all the team in the Azores. Everyone seemed to do their best to be helpful and make the trip as enjoyable as possible for us. It is greatly appreciated and we will certainly sing your praises to everyone we know who wants to make the trip to such a beautiful place with so much natural flora and fauna to see and enjoy.”
Mr & Mrs Finlayson (Whale watching & swimming with dolphins on Sao Miguel – 13-23 May 2010)

With 4 guided walking trips running this year, we are getting lots of lovely feedback from you all. Here are a couple more that have just come in :
“The guide – you could not have wished for anyone better, he made it! An excellent holiday, we enjoyed it, would recommend it and will go back again some day. Thank you for arranging it so professionally.”
Mr & Mrs Maslin (12-26 June 2010)

“Our guide deserves a special mention for all his hard work, attention to detail and his genuine concern for everyone. His unfailing enthusiasm for and love of the Azores made our holiday all the more enjoyable. We particularly enjoyed his picnics and the opportunity to sample local produce.”
Mr & Mrs Smith (12-26 June 2010)

Like all tour operators during the volcanic ash issue last month, we had clients stranded in both the Azores and Cape Verde and people unable to travel out for their holidays. Our clients who couldn’t travel out were given either a full refund or the option of postponing their holiday to a convenient date.
We kept our clients in the Azores and Cape Verde up to date on the flight situation and either we covered their additional costs or the airlines did, so no one was left out of pocket. SATA Air Azores and Thomson Fly were particularly helpful. We have now had a couple of questionnaires back from clients who ended up with extended holidays and their positive comments are very reassuring after what was a very stressful week!
“Great holiday and help on the ground was very good. Arrangements due to the volcano by Thomson were also very good.”
Mr Kavanagh, Cape Verde 14-21 April 2010

“We very much appreciated your help and support during the Iceland volcano flight ban. It was reassuring to know that you were considering our well-being and keeping us up to date with the latest information. An excellent holiday.”
Ms Gray, Azores 03-10 April 2010

“An excellent holiday and the UK office staff were very helpful especially when the return flight to the UK was held up by ash clouds.”
Ms Sandell, Cape Verde 25 March – 08 April 2010
