点评:Our 11 day Island Hopping trip to the Azores was fantastic. We started off on Sao Miguel staying in Ponta Delgada. We had wonderful day trips with an amazing guide, Filipe. We were lucky enough to have him as our guide for 2 full day tours and they were wonderful experiences which included delicious lunches and our great fellow passengers. Filipe is an expert guide with a vast knowledge of the Azores and San Miguel. At our hotel we met people from our own small state of Rhode Island.
Our next stop was on the island of Faial and we were again lucky to have a fantastic guide, Ramiro. We couldn’t have been in better hands as he took us all around the island and to a great lunch. He even gave us a great recommendation for a restaurant nearby and he helped us get a cab ordered for the next day since we needed to get to the ferry terminal to go to Pico.
Our guide at Pico, Jerson, is a wonderful and knowledgeable young man who guided us all over Pico and since we had him all to ourselves that day, we had an opportunity to sit and just talk about different things. He also scheduled us for a last minute wine tasting which was great. We even met people from our New England states there!
Our last island stop was Terceira where we were guided for 2 days—day one with Andre who showed us all over the island and day two which was a hike with Jaime. I can’t say enough about the two of them. Like our other guides they were very knowledgeable. Jaime especially guided us on a great hike with beautiful views. He even picked up water for us because he knew our tour the day before was a full day and we didn’t have an opportunity to pick up any before our hike.
This was a jam packed vacation but with our expert guides I have never felt more relaxed.
翻译:我们为期11天的亚速尔群岛跳岛游真是太棒了。我们从圣米格尔岛出发,住在蓬塔德尔加达。在出色的导游菲利普的带领下,我们度过了精彩的一日游。我们很幸运,有他带我们进行了两次全天的旅行,体验非常棒,包括美味的午餐和友善的旅伴。菲利普是一位经验丰富的导游,对亚速尔群岛和圣米格尔岛了如指掌。在酒店,我们遇到了来自我们家乡罗德岛州的朋友们。
我们的下一站是法亚尔岛,我们再次很幸运地遇到了一位出色的导游拉米罗。他带我们游览了整个岛屿,并享用了美味的午餐,这真是太棒了。他还给我们推荐了附近的一家餐厅,还帮我们订了第二天的出租车,因为我们需要去渡轮码头去皮库岛。
我们在皮库岛的导游杰森是一位非常优秀且知识渊博的年轻人,他带我们游览了皮库岛。由于那天只有他一个人,我们有机会坐下来聊聊各种事情。他还为我们安排了最后一分钟的品酒会,非常棒。我们甚至在那里遇到了来自新英格兰州的朋友!
我们的最后一站是特塞拉岛,在那里我们接受了两天的导游服务——第一天是安德烈带我们游览了整个岛屿,第二天是和杰米一起徒步旅行。我对他们两位赞不绝口。和其他导游一样,他们也知识渊博。杰米特别带我们进行了一次很棒的徒步旅行,沿途风景优美。他甚至还帮我们拿了水,因为他知道我们前一天的行程安排得很满,徒步旅行前我们没有机会去拿水。
这次假期安排得非常紧凑,但有了我们专业的导游,我感到前所未有的轻松。
