Overall, the tour was good. The guide was excellent and four of the five hotels were excellent. The included activities were generally good although it would have been nice if some of the optional tours were included as standard. The buses weren’t always comfortable and one had no air conditioning which was very uncomfortable. The hotel in Pico was not acceptable. The staff were lovely and the food was excellent but my first room was damp and I was unable to sleep due to the stifling heat and dampness. The ‘upgraded’ room was still quite damp and stifling but the main issue there was the cockroaches in the room. The location was also disappointing as it was so very far from the nearest village and there was nothing to do in the local area. Several people on the tour developed respiratory illnesses in this hotel. I have photographs of the plaster peeling from the walls due to the dank conditions. Faial was excellent and should very definitely remain part of the tour. The two days in Pico could be removed, an added day could be added to Terceira and Faial and leave Pico as a day trip. Overall, I was quite satisfied with the tour but would have liked more activity like hikes or extended walks and less time spent on the bus.Show more
