For what it's worth I seriously considered both of these tours a couple of months back and after a lot of research, I decided the Azores would be the better option.  I looked at various threads on Trip Advisor and the scenery there is meant to be truly breathtaking and I preferred the itinerary - the whalewatching was another aspect that swung it for me.  At the end of the day, the dates didn't suit and I've now booked Crete for September but I would be very keen to do the Azores over the next couple of years - I hope you book and write a review on your return!

Best wishes,

Bob

I have done many holidays with JY over the years and can recommend them, I have travelled as far as New Zealand with JY. I cannot comment on either of your choices as Inhave not done them, I hope some one will. Has anyone left a review on them in that section?

I have been to Madeira years ago and it is a beautiful island. Like Bob I was attracted to Azores when I saw it in the brochure, but the flight times did not suit. Both are beautiful in their own way but if I had a choice I would choose Azores over Madeira.
