My jeep tour of Sete Cidades was guided by David, from Azores For All, and was the highlight of my 11 day tour of 4 Azorean islands. Accompanying David and me in the jeep was a young Deaf couple from Spain, who used some Spanish, and Spanish Sign Language to communicate. Sound awkward? Not a bit. David is a true professional, who managed a comprehensive exchange of geographic, historic, and cultural information with all three passengers while negotiating a breath-taking and heart-stopping drive around the rim of Sete Cidades. We saw the caldera, the craters and lakes from every possible angle. The views were stunning, but the bonding experience David provided for a retired American lady and a lovely Deaf Spanish couple....priceless!
