Amazing route with Dora! - We asked for tour EN Spanish and were two people, POR it was a private tour, so great! ES an entertaining and interesting experience, but Dora did it amazing!! He has great DE knowledge and tells everything in an exciting way, we had an amazing time, and he speaks super good Spanish! A charmer, he told us curious DEs all along about the island, customs, volcanoes... A total hit!!!

Spectacular Tour - Would highly recommend. - Antonio was our guide through Pro Island Tours. Absolutely amazing afternoon. My cousin and I enjoyed a personalised tour, especially tailored to our needs and interests. We saw things off the beaten track, that not many tourists get to see. Not crowded, beautiful and amazingly interesting. Also taken to an amazing lava tube - could not upload photos, but an astonishing experience. Antonio was a nice, gracious, friendly and knowledgeable host. I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

One guest - one guide - The most beautiful cave is unfortunately closed at the moment, but my guide Honorio made the most of the situation. He showed me another cave and also many beautiful places of his home island. His expert explanations and enthusiasm for his job have made this tour a great experience that I will not forget.

The best value in Terceira & so much fun! - THIS IS THE BEST VALUE I think in Terceira. We saw the top three things...and had an AWESOME guide. She was local, born on island, and knew all the history of the caves, volcanoes, the haunted forest, the furnas,.... all of it. We had such a blast and it was the best 3 hours for $100 total for two people. Def tip the tour guide...
