Greetings from the Azores

Local knowledge, shared with travelers.

Hi! We’re Renata and Armando 😊

We live in Ponta Delgada, on São Miguel Island, with our two children and we love exploring the Azores: from hiking and going to the beach to trying new restaurants or searching for hidden gems on the island! After traveling to several countries, we decided to transform our passion for travel and for the island into AzoresGPS to help travelers have authentic experiences, convenience, and peace of mind!

If you are going on vacation to São Miguel, she is the woman you need. She gave us so many tips and arranged both the diving and surfing lessons. She is so friendly and helpful! We got all our info and activities from her Instagram page and her website. Contact her! ☺️ She is the ideal person for your vacation!

Incredible experience! Azores GPS organized a wonderful whale-watching trip and jeep tour that truly made our holiday special. Both activities were memorable, and we couldn’t have asked for better service. The team was very helpful from start to finish, always quick to respond to our questions and give great recommendations. Everything was smoothly arranged, allowing us to enjoy each adventure without a single worry. We’re so grateful for their help and would highly recommend them to anyone visiting!

Renata helped me and my fiancé in organizing everything in our trip in Sao Miguel! She was extremely helpful in organizing a car rental and other services. Before getting in contact with her, I tried to search for a car rental on my own but it was extremely challenging. Renata suggested me a car rental they work with, the price was very competitive and the cars are all new (not easy to find on the island). She was always very kind and gave us precious tips to have a special vacation!

Renata is a very responsive concierge who goes out of her way to find solutions and quotes even when the local agencies are very complicated. I haven't experienced the trip yet but in any case I recommend Azores GPS for the preparation!
