Wonderful experience - The Guide was really sympathetic and well informed about nature and facts about the island. He was totally open up to our personal wishes - for example when we wanted a photo. It was a wonderful trip we can definitely recommend to do with the tour guide. He was also always attentive and patient, avoiding that we slip down the rocks.

Great views and good times - What most impressed me about this walking tour was the flexibility of the guide. Since in January the weather in Terceira is unpredictable, we waited until the last minute to decide where exactly we would hike. The 2-hour path along the north coast that took us to hidden bays was precisely the right choice. The guide was engaging and kind and I enjoyed the unexpected snack at the end. I highly recommend booking this tour!

Amazing tour - As my guide, Antonio started out by asking me if I had any trails in mind or if I preferred him showing me a hidden gem.
We went to Mistérios Negros wich has so much beautiful and alternating nature and landscape (in any kinds of weather, but in case of rain, wear waterproof gear (especially shoes!!).
Afterwards, Antonio took me to another pretty spot to enjoy lunch wich he provided and then helped me figure out the next steps of my journey.
I can definiely recommend this tour, the trail is outstandingly beautiful and Antonio was very helpful, talkative and pleasant all the way through

Dark Mysyerirs trail - We went on a hike with owner Antonio. The Hike was challenging and the scenery beautiful. A tonio was professional and you could tell he wanted us to have the best experience possible. He even surprised me for my birthday. It was a great experience.

The guide was lovely, and... - The guide was lovely, and local, we had a nice morning but not as expected. We expected more of a hike and less off road 'touring' tracks in the Landrover. It would be best to check at the start how long the hike will be and where you are going. It was misty in the hills so we just did a short circular walk on the coast, which was nice but too short. The morning appeared to lack a plan.
