Customer Testimonials

We had a wonderful trip. Both islands were beautiful. The Hungry Whales foodie tour was interesting, fun, and challenged us to try some foods that we probably would not have tried. The guides for this tour were great! All our guides were great - they knew so much and were fun to spend a day with. We did a whale watching tour on Terceira -- didn't see any whales but did see a lot of dolphins close up.

Thanks for planning a great trip for us to celebrate our 40th anniversary!

Our entire vacation to the Azores was superb. All transfers worked without a hitch and the accommodations were top notch and recommendations were right on. We felt very comfortable and in good hands with the tour companies. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Quest to all our friends, and will look to Quest for future travel arrangements.

Thanks again for your help in arranging this fabulous trip to the Azores.

We had the distinct pleasure to tour Terceira with Luis Marques on 23 May. There were five of us (Bronson, Slein , Gizzi)and we ALL felt the same. He was truly the “million dollar” tour guide. We have never met anyone so passionate about his land, the people and his state. What I learned from Luis in 8 hours would have taken me months in school to learn ! One cannot fake “passion”.

The hosting of lunch at his father in law’s restaurant was brilliant -nothing short of fabulous; his history lessons on the “Holy Spirit”and the ensuing celebrations had us all spellbound, especially when we visited one of the emporiums at the invitation of a native. When we return to Terceira, we will request another Picos de Aventura tour by Luis- we will never forget him and the stunning land of Terceira!

We booked the 6 day adventure trip to the Azores with my two daughters to celebrate my 65th birthday. The trip was amazing and exceeded all my expectations. The scenery was breathtaking, the food fabulous and our guides fantastic. Going to the Azores has been on my bucket list for years and I am so delighted to have shared this adventure with my girls and thank Quest Travel and my agent Erika for arranging this trip for us. The entire trip was perfect- prompt pick up for all arranged tours and flexibility from the guides to accommodate us. We are grateful to the guides for sharing their love and history of the islands with us.

Thanks for all your help and guidance. All the logistics worked out so well and we felt like we could sit back, enjoy our vacation and not worry about any details. Your office was a wealth of knowledge on the destination and we learned so much.

We had such a great time in the Azores! It was so beautiful and around every corner was another adventure. The guides were an absolute delight, and some of the best I've ever traveled with.

I couldn't believe that we were hiking in desert-like terrain in the morning and then lounging by the ocean in the afternoon. So much to do on this island"

The wine at Bodega Monje was such a pleasant surprise. It had such complex flavors and richness. Pairing their wines with their local speciality menu was a nice lunch treat. Definitely a must-do on the island."

I wanted to let you know my comments on the Azores trip while it is fresh in my mind and I get too busy when I get back to the office. First of all, we really did enjoy the trip. All of the guides were wonderful. Good English, knowledgeable, courteous and very nice cars. The hotel worked out well. All inter island flights went well and were on time. Liked seeing at least 3 islands as they all have their own personalities."

Visiting the Azores was paradise! Beautiful scenery,great food (especially the milk, cheese, ice cream,yogurt and butter), tea factory and thermal spas...it was very relaxing and you did not feel rushed. The people are friendly and laid-back. I thought the shopping was good as prices were very reasonable in San Miguel. I did all of my Christmas shopping. We felt safe walking around and crime is very low as well.

FANTASTIC! SUPERB! Joe and I had a fabulous time on the Burt Wolff special wine themed river cruise in Bordeaux region. We are very pleased with every detail, every meal, the service. It was fun and varied and totally delightful. We are probably spoiled now by Scenic service. Thank you to everyone at Quest Travel Adventures for all your help. Thanks again.
