The guides were all great throughout our excursions in Portugal. Sailing, winery tour, food tour all great. The whale watch was nice although most people got seasick and knocked around a little due to high waves but we saw two whales and several dolphins. The two hotels in Lisbon and Porto were fine. The Santa Barbara Eco resort on Sao Miguel is highly recommended.

Hi Lucinda, thank you! I'm happy that everyone had a good time on the trip, despite the not-so-great weather in São Miguel.
I'll pass along your words to all the guides you met :)
