Yes, I have some info... ________________________________ From: 'Sam (Camas, WA)' via Azores Genealogy <azores@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2018 4:33:29 PM To: azores@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Tour Company
Cheri, Nancy Jean & Donald; Thank you for this information. I’ve been telling my husband that we didn’t need a tour or tour guide but; he is the type that likes everything planned out. Me, I’m the type that like to wing things. (opposite attract, right?! LOL) I also mentioned to him that one can’t plan to far in advance as taking a boat from island to island can be unpredictable due to the weather conditions. I am right, aren’t I? Ok, obviously, I’ve now got to get busy and do some internet searching. If anyone has the name of a good taxi driver/guide that speaks good English on any of the islands mentioned; Faial, Santa Maria, Sao Jorge or Flores or of a B&B they particularly liked please feel free to share that info. with me. Please send it directly to me so as not to fill this list with information others aren’t interested in. aportugee @ yahoo.com (no spaces) Sam (Mazatlan, MX) From: nancy jean baptiste<mailto:fishsongf...@hotmail.com> Sent: Sunday, January 14, 2018 2:13 PM To: azores@googlegroups.com<mailto:azores@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Tour Company Hi Sam, I agree with Don. Airbnb or HomeAway both have great houses in the Azores and local drivers are easy to find. Lot's of taxi's are bilingual and know how to show you the islands. Come for a little visit to Pico!

Maybe others know of some. The festas run from about May through around September or so. So any time during the summer is good. If you are looking for a festa in your ancestors freguesia, you'll have to hunt around for that information. They could have their festa in July, or May, or or or. So you'll have to do some digging.

I know many of you have spoken of a tour company that can do customized tours to different islands but; I don’t remember the name of the company. Can anyone help? Also, opinions as to the best month to travel to the Azores? I am primarily interested in going to Faial, Santa Maria, Sao Jorge and Flores.
