G Adventures commented on this reviewThanks so much for your review, Jennifer! We are delighted to know you enjoyed your time hiking the Azores with us and look forward to more adventures in the future!Trip date: May 2025 - CBcolin· July 2nd, 2024The itenary was too intensive. I felt the age range was incorrect . It certainly was not 12 - 90. You had to be very fit as some of the trails were very arduous. Unless you’re fit I wouldn’t recommend it for over 60’s. The tour guides were good and certainly by offering alternative options they made this holiday enjoyable .Show moreG Adventures commented on this reviewThank you for your review, Colin.
