Our guide Felipe was on time picking us up at the designated meeting spot. He provided a wonderful tour of Moisteros, Cete Sidedes and Miradouro do Pico do Carvão. He took us to a wonderful cheese shop and the market. The company communicates well and is very organized. We'd highly recommend for any tour or transport need in the Azores.Posted on Tripadvisor AxelVerified Alles wie erwartet. Wir hatten ein Transfer zum Flughafen Ponta Delgada gebucht.
