          Authentic and personalized tour guide!
          I live on Sao Miguel island and I hold yoga retreats here. I wanted someone who knew the secret spots of the island and who could also retell the magnificent history of it. Azores Connections delivered! All my guests say that this tour was their favorite part of their trip! They loved their guide, Andy. He answered all of our curious questions and when the weather turned (as it does in the azores:) he knew exactly how to pivot. For anybody leading retreats or coming here and wanting an authentic experience, this is the company.

          Brilliant honeymoon thanks to seamless planning by Azores Connections!
          Azores Connections was brilliant in planning our honeymoon. Andy was so helpful suggesting activities and adapting our itintery to suit us. He put a lot of thought into the best order of activities and creating a really bespoke honeymoon. It was so seamless with all our bookings and the app made it so easy to check what we were doing the next day etc. We also had the private tour with Andy and he was a fantastic tour guide! It was so insightful getting a local perspective on things and his enthusiasm for the islands was clear. The whole process was so easy and it was exactly what we needed after planning a wedding! If we were to visit again, I would use Azores Connections in a heartbeat!

          Just to say thank you for organising such a wonderful holiday for all of us. The experience from start to finish was so helpful and informative, friendly and professional, and you took away all the stress and worry of trying to organise a family holiday. Our travel plans ran like clockwork and the activities we chose were so well organised and led by such lovely, positive and interesting guides. The Azores were the perfect destination for us - the weather suited us very well, it was so beautiful and green, and everyone was so friendly. We have some wonderful memories and had the best family time with our three teenagers! Thank you for all your help. We will definitely be recommending you when we tell people to consider visiting the Azores.

          Excellent tour with Andy
          Andy took us on a private tour of Furnas as part of a larger travel itinerary. As a tour guide, he was able to give us a lot of information about the history and culture of the region and pick out a lot of spots that were usually passed over by tourists, giving us a more private view of the town, the hiking trails, and notable restaurants and attractions in the area.

          21st birthday family holiday to the Azores
          Andy / Azores connections without a doubt planned the most amazing trip for me and my family this summer for my 21st birthday and we could not thank him enough! There was not a thing that we would have changed on our trip and we have all collectively agreed that it was by far one of the best experiences we have ever had. From organising trips with reliable, friendly and well experienced companies, to ensuring our itinerary worked perfectly for the entire week, Andy ensured that our trip went as amazing as we had hoped for! He was also there everytime (which was quite often) we wrote to him about the many questions and requests we needed to ask about, and left us feeling calm and organised in the lead up to our trip. Thank you Andy and Azores connections for everything, we could not reccomend this company more to those who want an unforgettable trip!

          Trip of our life!
          If you are planning a trip to the Azores, look no further. What a great experience. They took care of booking the best tours and experiences and best hotel. They made it extremely relaxed with a full detailed itinerary and app. Andy is a great guide and knows the island well. Would highly recommend them for anyone visiting!!

          Great host! Very flexible and accommodating
          Andy was a great host while we were there for our honeymoon in the Azores. He gave us a deep understanding and appreciation of the history and culture of the island and took us to some beautiful spots to appreciate its beauty. He also helped us change plans on the spot due to the variable weather

          Azores Connections for the Win!
          First of all Andy was AMAZING! Very knowledgeable about the islands, how to get around, love for the locals and research on the best places. He had it all ready and made the trip more bespoke by listening to our future agendas and keeping things fresh and new. 25/10! I can’t wait to plan a trip there with my whole family. I will be back and I will shout Connections from the rooftops! We don’t speak Portuguese and it certainly came in handy that Andy does! 😂 I think I tell everyone I know to go to the Azores. No way everyone wouldn’t love it in my honest opinion. Seriously a hidden gem 💎

          Azores - Absolutely memorable and delightful honeymoon trip
          Laura and Andy planned our honeymoon - entirely customised to our specifications with their own touch and experience of hidden (most importantly non touristy) gems of the islands (Sao Miguel, Pico, Terciera and Faial). We were due to travel in 2020 but covid had different plans for us. We finally managed to do our Azores dream trip in August 2023. It feels we knew Laura and Andy the longest as they never stopped interacting with us despite the trip getting pushed every year. The trip was very well planned - every day/ every halves/ every island. The activities/ things to do and see never felt overlapped - they were always completing and it all felt like a one seamless movie story!! Andy is a great story teller when it comes to sharing life experiences and travel adventures. Our guides at each islands seemed handpicked by Andy and Laura based on what we intended to experience in those islands. I loved their idea of putting customer experience and preference first and top priority and not pushing hard on the pre packaged deals. Andy’s attention to detail and planning skills are fantastic. Loved Laura’s response time as she was the one doing the heavy lifting with and for us in the planning stage and until we reached Sao Miguel to meet Andy. All in all we would love to go back to Azores and see the balance islands with Andy and Laura.

          A memorable Azores trip planned to the T
          We had started planning our honeymoon trip to Azores in 2020 and finally made it there in 2023 due to covid. So we have been in touch Andy and Laura for more than 3 years now, and it has been an absolute pleasure. Our trip was curated keeping in mind our preferences and without any activity overlap in all islands of Terciera, Saõ Miguel, Pico and Faial. The selection of operators, guides, hotels and activities was more perfect than we’d imagined. We came back with a bag full of memories of a lifetime and with our favourite kind of travel stories. If you are lucky enough to travel to the breathtakingly beautiful Azores, we would recommend you book with them without a doubt. Pro tip- if you get a chance to spend time with Andy- he is a treasure of amazing experiences and stories to share along with educating you about the history of Azores. As travel buffs, we loved our trip was planned and executed :)

          Easy and Fun!
          We booked our 7-day honeymoon with Azores Connections and we’re very happy with the experience. The booking process was very simple and it was a pleasure having Andy to communicate with throughout the initial booking and during our trip. Andy tailored our itinerary to include all of the activities we wanted to do. He arranged for all of our transportation, most of our meals, and all of our hotel needs. Knowing that we were coming from our week-long destination wedding in Portugal, Andy was very thoughtful in his planning to give us a nice balance of relaxation and adventure. We left the Azores feeling renewed and excited to have created some beautiful new memories together. We didn’t have to think about a single detail as there were no issues whatsoever with any aspect of the trip he planned. Our hotel was very nice and we really enjoyed the amenities that were available to us! Our trip included a kayaking visit to the mystic furnace, where we had an incredible traditional meal cooked underground using the natural heat from the volcano, a soak in the natural hot springs followed by a guided tour of the cha gorreana tea plantation, a private horse ride tour of siete ciadades, a coast to coast ATV tour, and a canyoning trip I will never forget! Along the way, we learned a lot about the island of Sao Miguel as Andy and our other guides were incredibly knowledgeable. This was a beautiful and authentic experience I would recommend to anyone!

          Memorable Private Tour
          On a month-long trip to Europe, our day in Sao Miguel Island with Andy was the most memorable. When I initially reached out to him for a private tour, Andy was prompt, understanding, and very helpful in planning an itinerary that would accommodate my elderly mother. Unfortunately, my mother was unable to join us, but Andy quickly pivoted to provide a more active adventure for me and my 23-year-old son. The tour was perfectly paced, and Andy obviously put a lot of time and care into making sure we got the best experience possible. Andy provides a wealth of knowledge about the island, and he is personable, enthusiastic, and just a lot of fun. Our goal is to take a week-long family trip to the Azores, with Andy planning our adventures. I've worked with a lot of tour companies over the years, and Azores Connections receives my highest recommendation.

          The BEST Honeymoon
          Andy and Azores Connections were fabulous! We reached out to Andy to help us design a custom, week long honeymoon package, and he delivered above and beyond our expectations. He pieced together activities from various tours for us, arranged all travel and airport pickup, and even guided us towards less touristy spots when we started to go a bit awry. The activities were true to description, authentic, and each one was a ton of fun. The best one was the all day buggy tour - If you’re up for some adventure and getting out into nature, definitely book that one. Andy even gave us a few tours himself! The hotels were stunning too - talk about luxury! All in all, if you’re looking for an authentic Azores experience, go with Azores Connections!

          Breathtaking experience
          Andy is a well educated, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and well mannered man. His knowledge of the island is sublime, he always answers your questions and helps you have an understanding of the island. He also goes the extra mile to make sure you have the best experience as possible. I’ve had to make a tripadvisor just because I enjoyed the tour and my time with Andy so much. I can’t recommend his tour enough. His tours are a must if you’re planning on going to the Azores! Thanks Andy and the team at Azores Connections, I had a wonderful time!

        Perfect tour and guide. We were lucky enough to have Andy (owner of the company) who is extremely knowledgeable, passionate about the island and just plain genuinely friendly. I cannot recommend his service and company enough. They are the only company to use if you are visiting the Azores for a day or for a week or for a lifetime !

        We had an amazing day touring S.Miguel with Azores Connections. Andy made the trip very easy in this very popular busy area. From patiently waiting for us while we swam or parking and picking us up. All reservations were booked ahead. Very relaxed and informative day. Thank you. Great memories.

        Perfect day tour and a great sample of the Azores. Hiking, soaking in the thermal bath, eating lunch cooked in the volcanic steam and visiting a tea plantation. Andy is engaging and informative, as well as a lot of fun. We look forward to returning for a longer stay and working with Andy again.

        Andy was an incredible tour guide for our tour through furnas. He is very knowledgeable and just a pleasure to spend time with. We saw so much in just one day that we never would have known to see without Andy’s guidance!

        Another excellent day touring Sao Miguel with Andy as our guide! On this trip we visited Sete Cidades and the surrounding area - breathtaking views from the rim of the crater and a stunning drive through the small villages surrounding the lake (complete with lunch at a fantastic spot on the water). Andy checked the weather forecast and brought us to the best spots for an unobstructed view. A stop at one of Europe’s only tea growers - Cha Gorreana - where you may walk through the beautiful fields, watch the production process and sit and savor their teas - a wonderful way to end our tour.

        This was our second booking with Azores Connections. On our first trip to the Azores in 2019 Andy brought us to see the town of Furnas and the Parque Terra Nostra.. We loved it so much we stayed there on this trip, with the hot springs available to us at any time right outside our door (Parque Terra Nostra Hotel).

        Andy generously shares his knowledge of the history, geology and culture of the island. I can highly recommend Azores Connections. .We will be booking our future tours of the Azores through Azores Connections. Thank you again!
