Best way to see and learn about Terceira! - Pedro was one of the best guides we ever have had. Friendly and knowledgeable - he took us to all the best spots on the island showing us amazing landscapes and views and sharing the cultural richness of Terceira. Visiting the natural pools and going inside the volcano were highlights that we will never forget. Highly recommend this trip!

Amazing day - NuNu was a great guide. We had already seen some of the things on the tour, so he rearranged the day to make it personal to us. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the island on our private tour

Pedro gave us an amazing experience around Terceira - Pedro was our awesome tour guide around Terceira. He was prompt, patient with us (we have 4 young kids), and very knowledgeable about the island and its history. We learned and saw a lot of fascinating things. Pedro was savvy navigating around the island including around the tricky, rainy weather we experienced during the tour. We would 100% recommend this tour and Pedro as the tour guide!

Great whirlwind tour of Terceira - We had only one day on Terceira, so we booked the Private Terceira Island Full Day Tour through TripAdvisor, and we were so glad we did. Our guide, Pedro, was wonderful. While he was showing us some of the island's highlights, he also taught us about the geology, history, culture and resources of the Azores, not to mention recommending a wonderful restaurant for lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with him, and the background he gave us helped us appreciate the rest of our visit to the Azores.

Perfect Island Experience - Our guide, Catarina, took us on a day long experience of Terceira- from the highest view points to the sea- we saw it all and loved every minute. We enjoyed learning about the island and its culture along the way. Catarina was knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating- you could tell she loved her home and enjoyed showing it off.

Perfect way to see Terceira in a day - Katarina was an amazing guide and did her best to ensure we hit everything we were interested in. We got a really comprehensive tour of the island and didn't felt like we missed out on anything! Our favorites were all the view points, the Lake Forest, and the lava chimney.

SPOT (the middle man) needs to be replaced - Had a great time. The driver was great but did not appreciate the fact that they added a charge of 25 Euro to get us back to where we started. The driver was told by his boss to drop us at some small town unless we paid the additional CASH to get back. We had no choice since we had a plane to catch. NOT HAPPY
