We booked the trip only the day before online. It was easy to do and it asked me to call the number listed for making sure it was booked which I did and everything was fine and booked.
We were picked up from our hotel Azor on time at 9am from the street outside. Our guide was called Rui and he was very friendly and helpful he has lots of history with the island as he’s lived here all his life.
He took us in a mini van and we were his only client’s so it was extra special for us.
We went to see the Lagoa do Fogo lake from the very highest point it is beautiful up their, he took us down gradually to other viewing points, wonderful for taking your photos.
We went to a very quaint little village for a spa relaxing in a man made pool which we mostly had to ourselves, the water is 36 degrees and is volcanic water. We had a short walk around the village and enjoyed the warm weather. It was sunny as the day before it was very rainy and misty.
Rui took us to a liquor shop and factory where we had tasters and we bought a bottle of Azores Brandy, different to regular Brandy it is 40% volume. We also tried their jams and bought a few for taking home.
We would highly recommend this trip for anyone wanting a great 4 hours taster of the Azores.
Thanks to Rui a brilliant guide.
