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)

A lovely email from some of our guests on our June guided walking holiday….

Dear Archipelago Azores Team,
Ann and I just got back at the weekend from your 14 day walking holiday. Thanks for arranging such a great trip. We loved the hotels, the walks and of course the islands. I think you got a great balance with the walks giving a variety of scenery and an essence of the islands. The hotels were great and we really enjoyed the transfers with the flights and ferries really adding a positive effect to the holiday.

A special note has to be made about the guide Nuno - this guy was fantastic, his knowledge and enthusiasm was great. He took on the challenge of looking after the 12 people and gave it 110%!!
W
e will definately be heading back there in the future.

Best Regards,
Anthony and Ann Green

 and would certainly consider travelling with you again. Thank you for everything you did, especially in making sure the transfers were smooth even when schedules changed, without us having to do a thing. We will have many wonderful, happy and in some cases funny memories for years to come! Best holiday in years! Thank you!”

“We have had a superb holiday – thank you. The transfers were excellent – all spot on time and very courteous. We loved the mountain scenery on Santiago and seeing the natural Cape Verde as well as the beautiful beaches on Sal and Boavista and seeing turtles laying eggs. Quinta da Montanha on Santiago was in a super location, fantastic views and owner. Our walking guide there was excellent, spoke perfect English, was adaptable, knowledgeable, with a great sense of humour and a very nice guy. Definitely worth his weight in gold.
Altogether a wonderful holiday which allowed us to appreciate the islands we visited.”
