Wonderful Terceira Island tour! - We had a wonderful time with our friends on our half-day van tour. James is a great guide - very pleasant and knowledgeable - and answered our many questions. His love of the island shows, and we loved it too. When and if we are lucky enough to come back to the Azores, we will definitely go with Azores Natures Tours again!

Perfect way to cover top sights on Terceira in a half day! - We had a fabulous tour with James. He accommodated the itinerary based on what we wanted to see and what our plans were post-tour. James was incredibly knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. The itinerary included some top spots in Terceira that we were happy to be able to see all within a half day. Highly recommend!

Lovely ride - We enjoyed learning more about the history of the island and driving through the villages on the west coast. The highlights were the cheese factory stop ( with a geocache inside) and the natural pools. They are knock your socks off gorgeous. The tour guide was amazing

James was an Amazing Tour Guide! - James from Azores Nature Tours was the best tour guide me and my fiancé have ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable about the entirety of the island and we even were able to do this tour and another half-day tour with him all in one day. I cannot recommend him enough for this tour, or the Underground Cave and Volcano Half-Day Van Tour. Some of our favorite experiences from the vacation were on these tours. Throughout he'd share local knowledge, make recommendations, and even let us do our own thing at different stops. He's very personable and made it so easy for us to enjoy ourselves. You must go on these tours if you're in Terceira!

An excellent view of the Island Treceira - On this tour you get the best views of the West coast of the Island of Treceira with its history . Jaime was very knowledgeable and attentive of everybody’s needs. He translated from Portuguese to English and kept everybody very impressed. If I did another tour I would have asked for Jaime .

Relaxing and informative - I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It was a relaxing, informative, and beautiful tour around the western half of Terceira with my guide, Amélia. I would highly recommend the tour. I didn't feel rushed, and there was a variety of experiences, from cheese tasting, to walking a bit in the forests, and also seeing the famous bathing pools of Biscoitos.

North/West tour - We decided to take a half day tour before our flight out, and very glad we did. Amelia picked us up on time at our hotel and wisked us off to the North and West parts of the island. She was so informative re the cultures and lifestyles of the peoples in the area. She took us to some beautiful hidden gems. She even drove us to the airport and as promised, on time. I highly recommend this tour.
