Azores Islands Travel Agents & Reviews

The trip was well organized and the travel company was responsive to my requests.  The hotel selection  in Lisbon was excellent--great location, outstanding service and well appointed rooms.The tour guides were top drawer, punctual, professional friendly and knowledgeable.

My recent trip to Portugal felt effortless due to the exceptional, thorough, and personalized service from the travel designer and her team at the travel coompany. I was blown away by their attention to details and on-the-spot problem-solving. My trip was complex--a solo tour (mostly driving in rural areas) with 7 hotel reservations, rental car arrangements, small group tours and special events. My travel designer personally supervised the itinerary development, booked hotels and tours, arranged the rental car and communicated with me throughout the process.The extra-special service included providing me with a pre-programmed GPS with all my routes, hotels, sites to visit and key details (parking considerations, etc.) She also provided a wi-fi hotspot with local 4G data service and an emergency power pack. The pre-programmed GPS, in particular, made the trip so easy---particularly since I was traveling alone without a partner to help navigate.My designer's guidance led me to the most amazing sites, some of which were not in the guidebooks I used while researching. My sojourn led me to tiny mountaintop villages, 12th century castles, ancient monasteries, coastal viewpoints, vineyards, cityscapes, palaces and cathedrals. It was truly the trip of a lifetime, enriched vastly by my travel designer's expertise and caring.I was most impressed by her personal availability to resolve any issues that arose--right in the moment. This is the difference in having a travel professional locally who knows all the contacts and all the work-arounds to keep me in 'vacation mode' and not worrying about pesky logistics. In addition, she worked with me on my budget to keep costs manageable and shifted some hotel/tour recommendations to fit my expectations. Her team is so friendly and personable--truly a joy to work with! Thank you so much!

We had a great trip and the travel agency put together a great package of hotels and experiences for us.  Further, the agency did a great job of steering us through the whole COVID mess over the 18 months it took to reschedule our trip from 2020 when the pandemic hit.  We felt the travel agency was always there for us to answer our questions and meet our needs.

César helped us plan an amazing mother-daughter trip to Portugal to celebrate my daughter’s 30th birthday. From the beginning planning phases through the final days of the trip, it was a pleasure working with him. He listened closely to our ideas and goals and communicated very well. His warmth and sense of humor shined through in our email communications and phone calls. The trip he helped us plan reflected our goals and was exactly what we’d hoped for. We visited Porto, the Douro Valley, Aveira, Óbidos, Lisbon, and Sintra.The trip was wonderful in every way. We stayed at beautiful, well-located hotels, our guides were outstanding, fun and friendly, and the range and pace of activities was just right. Our days were full, but we also had down time to relax and just enjoy taking in the whole experience.Thanks César and our travel specialist company for a dream trip!

Our trip to Portugal was fantastic! This travel company was wonderful to work with, and planned an extraordinary, fun, educational, & comprehensive 10 day privately escorted tour.

Our travel planner and his staff carefully planned a trip for us, after talking with us and testing out some suggestions to see if they were what we had in mind. We made a few revisions to the plan, and then, having completed an itinerary,  at the last minute we had to indefinitely postpone the trip. They were gracious about it, and patiently waited for us.After months, we revived the itinerary, but of course that necessitated a few more revisions. They carefully refined the details and we put the trip on the calendar.It was just what we had in mind. We were very glad to have hired them to guide us to the right places, and to make all the arrangements. We were especially glad to have them available when we wanted to make one or two more changes, in the middle of the trip.But the real benefit to us came near the end of the trip. We had arrived in Portugal unconcerned about the epidemic in Asia. But while we were there it had become a pandemic that had reached into Portugal. Travel bans upended our itinerary. In the middle of the night our travel planner responded to our anxious call and helped us to make arrangements to leave the country within hours. He was committed to taking care of us and is an experienced professional.
