Hi Rui,

So nice to hear from you...

I am back in Tallinn now, we arrived to Tallinn Airport about midnight, now it is 5 o'clock in the morning but I cannot sleep - too much impressions...I will need sertain time to treat them... to be able to share my impressions with the people.

Well, I am still in Azores in my mind, that was an amazing experience and for sure the best vacation I ever had! Now I can understand those people who write in their reviews and comments on TripAdvisor etc. that Azores are magic destination and they will certainly be back, and those people really come back to Azores again and again! That is true, Azores have some kind of magic power over people's soul and mind... I can feel it... So you are so lucky cause you live in real paradise:)

You know, the boys (Ivan and Maxim) were agreed that this travel was excelent and very interesting and they told that they would like to come back to Azores someday... And even my cousin Natasha who usually does not like to go twice to the same destination said that we have to go visit Azores again cause we have not seen all beautiful places in the islands:)

In San Miguel I did not see Sete Cidades from the miradouro on very top because of the fog (do you remember?) but it was my great dream..., so I will certainly come back some day and fulfill my dream:) I also would like to see waterfall Salto do Prego, to walk around Lagoa do Fogo by foot and many things more...

My dear, I want to thank you once again for your excellent tours, it is also thank to you we could feel the beauty of your island. I will sertainly write a review about you on Trip Advisor site and will recommend you to all people who want to visit San Miguel.

What about our stay in Terceira, this was also very pleasant, we saw a lot of beautiful things in taxi tour, magic caves, ruins of village houses destroyed by last earthquake, very nice chapels, colorful houses, gorgeous town of Angra, we even were so lucky that we could see street bullfights (with bulls on the rope and brave local men fighting with the bulls)... and we also saw a lot of strong muscular short-haired American guys in the streets and bars of Praia Victoria:) :) Cause our hotel was in Praia, near the NATO military base:)

Thanks again for your kind assistance with Terceira taxi tour! The weather was very good during our stay in Terceira, but the day when we left the island was very cloudy and even rainy, so we joked that it means that Terceira is crying cause we are leaving it...:)

Actually I also was crying when leaving Azores...
Now I have a feeling that all our trip was like another kind of reality, like fairy-tail, like mirical...

OK, sorry for such a long letter, I just can not stop my thinks and emotions... I wish you all the best..!

Best Regards,
Irina

Hi Rui -

I was in Fresno this weekend - and Becky surprised me with the wonderful Olive dish. I thought those were so pretty when I was there, but was afraid to buy too many things that would break on the trip home.

You were so thoughtful to pick those out for us.

We are still remembering our favorite part of our trip which was with you in San Miguel. We will be back, just not sure when. I have found out there are ways to come direct from Unites States though Oakland or Boston, and that is what we are checking out.

Hope all is well with you.
Jacky

Hi Rui!

You may not remember us -- the Gadberrys and Frattos. We are finally home from our Norwegian Gem cruise.

We want to thank you for a wonderful tour of San Miguel on April 16th. You live on a beautiful island and we hope to return and visit again in the near future. We really enjoyed the personal tour you gave us of the pottery factory, and tea plantation, as well as the hot springs. I will write a good review for you and post it on the Norwegian Cruise Line website, as well as on the Travel Advisor site for Porta Delgado. It may be a week or so before I get around to it, but I will copy you on my write up.

Hope you have a very successful tour season.

Regards,
Ed Gadberry

Hi Rui

Thanks for the excellent tours around Sao Miguel last week. They were great and played a large part in the enjoyment we got from our stay on your lovely island. Thank you for sharing your deep knowledge of Sao Miguel with Isobel and myself. We learned a lot from you. If we come back to the Azores we will certainly use your taxi.

I've put some comments on Trip Advisor. I hope they help you to obtain many bookings. If you need any English translations just contact me and I\'ll be happy to help.

Very best wishes from Scotland.
Stuart & Isobel Wilson

Rui,

I wanted to write and thank you again for making our trip to the Azores so enjoyable. My husband and I enjoyed your tours tremendously, and we promise to pass along your contact information to anyone we know who plans to travel to Sao Miguel in the future.

Cheers,
Meagan

Rui,

This is a long overdue e-mail to get in touch with you so we can keep in touch. Happy New Year!

You took me, Veronia and Dottie all around San Miguel last October. Today is snowy, icy and cold in Rhode Island and I am thinking of all that beautiful scenery we enjoyed on your island!

No plans for another trip, yet. Health issues with friends and work seems to get in the way. I often look back and think of what a wonderful trip we had. I hope you will visit us at some point in the future. You are always welcome, anytime. I hope you and your son are well and happy.

If you can, I would love to get more postage stamps, similar to the ones I got at the post office in San Miguel. If you can buy them for me and send them, I will be happy to forward the euros to you for purchase and your time. Let me know.

Wishing you all the best. I hope you are continuing your pursuit for travel and tourism. Are you enrolled in the course you were investigating?

Regards,
Anne Davies

Thank you so much for the wonderful time in Sao Miguel! You were so informative and left us with lasting memories of our trip. Your tour, explanations and recomendations went above and beyond our expectations!

We had such a good time that we intend to come back soon and hope to see you again.

Thanks again, Anna Cornelius, Ron Cornelius,
Jerry Garner, and Glenda Dalton

Hi! Rui!

Just a Quick note to say how my wife and I enjoyed your professional and friendly service during our stay in Azores.

You were very patient to drive us to where we wanted to go including visiting family. More impressive was the knowledge you had of the Island and the special places that was totally breath taking and such beauty every Place we went.

It sure was a holiday we will not forget and you made it fun for us to enjoy the land I was Born in and I now ask what took me so long to visit such wonderful beauty and natural landscape. We are planning a return soon.

We will Call you when that happens,
Until then may God Bless you and your son to have a Good life together and build a warm relationship. All my best wishes and again thank you for becoming a Friend to my Wife and myself as we got to know each other in such short time together.

I just wanted to say Thank you, thank you and thank you. We have now arrived back in Canada and are adjusting to the time difference. We have already developed our pictures and are proud to show them to everyone. You made this possible by taking us to the most beautiful places.

Thank you, you are definitely the nicest person we could have asked for to spend a week with. You are such a sincere person and it shows with the tours that you do, you have a vast knowledge of the island of Sao Miguel and it was such a pleasure to spend this week with you.

Hope all is going well and hope to see you again someday. Snow is getting close it is 4 degrees Celsius at home now.

All the best

PS don’t forget Orchard- land where fruit trees are grown.
