Perfect day on Terceira - We had a fantastic day with Roberto! He picked us up at the airport and dropped us off. Due to heavy rain and fog, he rescheduled the tour which was a great success and we cannot thank him enough. We were able to enjoy the natural wonders, culture and history of Terceira with Roberto's great and informative interpretation. The lunch was incredibly delicious and plentiful. A must if you want to get a complete picture of the island in one day. We are grateful for this unforgettable experience.

Beautiful scenery,... - Beautiful scenery, amazing geology, dramatic history. Be sure to book your lunch through your tour for incredibly delicious Portuguese food!
If the guide had a better command of English, the tour would have been better, but she went above and beyond in helping us try to locate relatives on the island.

A trip to remember - This was the most amazing tour. We had such an amazing day while Jessica showed us the island. She paid attention to every detail of what we were expecting out of the experience. We can’t thank her enough for all she did to make this an experience we will never forget.

Great Tour of Terceira Island - Great tour of the island. Roberto picked me up from the airport on time and made sure to show me and tell me everything about the island on my short layover. He had me try some coffee from this cute little place and made sure I was able to take the best shots of anything I wanted to take pictures of. He even lent me his jacket to keep warm since mine was kind of light for the windy weather that day. Then he dropped me back off at the airport on time for my flight.

Scammers! - Scam; don’t book. I don’t believe this tour company exists. We booked and despite numerous efforts to connect and confirm tour, no response.
