What travelers are saying

"A Culture Trip curated trip is a must for anyone burnt out planning their own trips or going to a remote or unfamiliar area. Having a local insider was the highlight of the trip. From the moment we landed to the moment we had to go through security to leave, we were completely taken care of. Our insider gave us great recommendations for restaurants and was very adaptable to any situation that arose."

What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"We have loved Gate 1 and always sing their praises. We've been on 7 tours with another one booked for fall. We were supposed to leave for Ecuador this week, however the country is in a 60 day state of emergency with the escape of 2 infamous gang members. Tourists are advised to stay indoors and there is a daily curfew from 11pm-5am. (our flight was to land at 11:15pm). Our trip included stays in 2 of the main cities of unrest. There have been shootings, car bombings, hostage taking, closing of embassies, and other countries issuing do not travel warnings. Other tour companies have cancelled tours or offered refunds or rescheduling. Travel insurance does not cover wars or civil unrest, but we are clearly afraid to go there. Both we and our travel agent have reached out multiple times with our concerns and asked if we could reschedule or get some sort of credit. We continue to get the same reply either in person or via email...Gate 1 has your safety as our highest priority and we feel you are safe ("they are not targeting tourists") and your itinerary should not be impacted. What? Their highest priority is $ and not our safety. There is no way that's the tour we anticipated. We cancelled the trip and took a 90% penalty, loss of deposit, and $276 airline penalty. It's a LOT of money, but we would have been terrified, and it's not worth getting hurt or worse. Sorry, but it's not the company I want to do business with in the future."

Additional details

When to visit the Azores

The summer is when most people visit the Azores. Flight options and ferry services run more frequently, and summer is when the islands are in full swing. The weather is mild year-round, since it’s a subtropical region. This makes the Azores an ideal destination regardless of what time of year you visit.

If you want to avoid the crowds, shoulder season is an ideal time to visit. Winter may scale back on attractions being open. If you’re looking to beat the crowd, but still want to visit when things are open and the weather is nice, consider early summer (May) or late summer (September). Spring is also a popular time to visit, when the flowers are in bloom.

Azores Climate

The subtropical climate is what makes the Azores a great place to visit year-round. Is it winter and you want to get some warmth? Winter-time temperatures hover around the low-60s. Is it summer and you’re looking to escape the heat? Azores wins again with summer temperatures staying close to 80 – warm but not dreaded hot.

The ocean may be too chilly to swim in the winter (usually around 63 degrees F) and warms up to around 77 degrees in the summer. Early fall to early spring often experiences multiple seasons/weather changes in one day, so you may be met with wind, rain, and sunshine all in one day. The Azores are often referred to as Europe’s Hawaii, and between the climate and landscape, rightfully so.

Visiting different Azores Islands

Most archipelagos are pretty similar in terms of sceneries, so if you visit one island, you get the same views you would get on others. Visitors may want to reconsider if they think they will get the same experience with the Azores island. Each island offers its own unique environment.

Pico Island is filled with adventure, Santa Maria is great for relaxing on the sandy beach. Faial island is home to Varadouro’s rock pools, where many people can go visit the rocky coast and swim in one of the dozen pools on the black basalt rock. Regardless of which island you visit, all of them have the opportunity for some awesome outdoor experiences!

Joining an Azores Tour

If you’re looking to see multiple islands, and want to explore all the best spots of the Azores, a tour is presumably the best way to go. The tour can arrange transportation, accommodation, take you to all the best sites, and make sure everything is taken care of you so you can spend your time relaxing.

The Azores are gaining popularity in tourism, and as more people are aching to go, more tours are being created. The packages are being offered at low and affordable prices. If you’re flexible on dates, you can get some incredible deals on weeklong tour packages that include hotels and airfare.
