    The 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 .

    The Azores is less crowded and jaded than many other island destinations. The local people were friendly; it was safe; hikes were lovely and unique. The CEO and the other participants just made everything more fun.
