An dream trip – thank you, Kim Kim!!!

the Azores | Jun 14 - Jun 18, 2026

I can’t even begin to express what an incredible experience it wad working with Kim Kim and all of the associated vendors who facilitated our trip to the Azores. During the trip planning process, Marina was incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and flexible with all customizations to the itinerary that we required, including cost adjustments based on our financial priorities. She had great communication with us throughout the planning process. The travel app utilized by Kim Kim is also extremely convenient and easy to use both prior to during your trip. For too busy full-time workers with two little children at home, it was so great not having to worry about planning the nitty-gritty of everything required for international travel.

Our tour guide, Vasco, knew everything about everything related to the Azores and did an amazing job touring us around. He was able to pivot beautifully when weather prohibited us from following one of our original day itineraries and created an amazing new plan.

Also, the Azores is literally the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. Please go!

Furnas Valley Excursion: Crater Lake, Hot Springs & Tea Plantation

São Miguel Island

The weather unfortunately prohibited us from hiking Furnas safely, however our guide Vasco pivoted to starting the day at Che Gorreana to hike the tea fields and going to furnas later in the day. This worked out beautifully, the tea fields are stunning and a quite vigorous height to the peak. Gorreana was much more interesting than I anticipated- definitely a must see. Furnas is such an amazingly unique experience- definitely can’t be missed!
