We booked a private tour through Get Your Guide and the tour company ( Into the Wild Azores Tours) was amazing! They were very flexible with the times because of our cruise ship and our guide, Eduardo, was waiting for us close to the cruise terminal. He was an excellent guide with so much information about the Azores. If you are fortunate enough to book a tour with this company, you will not be disappointed!
