Sao Miguel Tours and Trips

We were a family of 13 ranging in ages from 10 to 78 in celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary. The tour included many great sites, experiences and lots of food that appealed to all ages along with enough free time to explore on our own. Our tour director, Juan Kratzmaier, was phenomenal! He was so fun and had a great sense of humor as well as being informative. He went out of his way to interact with the kids, suggested and implemented activities for them during the free time. The Azores are a hidden gem with breathtaking landscapes and lots of cultural activities.

The vista overlooks were amazing. We especially enjoyed the brunch home tour in Faial and the traditional volcanic meal cooked underground. The meals and hotels provided were all excellent. Would have loved more time exploring Lisbon!

This tour was exceptional and I selected it because of the location, activities, and Collette's reputation. I received so much more. I highly recommend taking the 2 optional tours offered because these are very unique and indicative of the area and culture. My most favorite evening was the second home hosted dinner where we were warmly greeted and welcomed being allowed to explore the back yard while meats were grilled and wine served then indoors for tapas, more wine, dessert, and codials plus a video of the bull running celebration. It was like being with family. The food walking tour in Lisbon was terrific as well as the Sulphur Springs at the botanical garden; both included in the tour. Last but not least, the tour manager was exceptional, putting his heart and soul into each day to have it be special for everyone. He gladly wore many hats and pitched in at restaurants so we could have an easy, flowing experience. Joao held the tour together with his organizational ability.

Very challenging hiking, amazing scenery - weather was tough! Earthquake one day and 100km winds at the top of the mountain! Not certain we should have been up there that day!

The G Adventures hiking tour in the Azores provided a great vacation experience. We appreciated the variety in the hiking scenery and the overall beauty of the islands. Accommodation was very comfortable and the trip leaders were very professional and knowledgeable.

"Hiking the Azores" was a fantastic trip! The islands are gorgeous and unique, the guides were fun and knowledgeable and the other travelers were lovely. Can"t wait for my next gAdventures tour!
