Paulo was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Terceira Island. His passion for the rich culture was evident and he was so happy to share it with us. So many amazing views, sites and information. He took us to see where family villages were, even drove to where my grandfather grew up! He made the most of our 1 day on the island! Thanks so much Paulo! I would definitely recommend him.
Catrina, our tour guide was outstanding! Clearly knowledgeable and so passionate about her island I highly recommend this tour for people visiting Terciera for the first time.
Good morning, Thank you very much for your words. It was a pleasure to welcome you to our wonderful island. Until the turn. All the best!!

Good morning, Thank you very much for your words, it was a pleasure to welcome you to our wonderful island. All the best, see you soon.
Ricardo was our driver and guide and he was outstanding! We got way more than our money's worth with him. He took us to the caves, lava tube, and steam vents as well as Duck Lake. The scenery on the way to and from was fantastic too. You really need to see the lava tube and Duck Lake if you are on the island. They were so memorable. Ricardo was super friendly with pleasant conversation and very informative about the island and its history. He is also a firefighter so my husband enjoyed talking to him about that. He was a safe driver and picked us up right at the cruise ship with a sign on his car. We really had the perfect introduction to Terceria and look forward to going back because of him and his beautiful island.
Paulo's low-key island charm was the high point of an excellent tour. He provided us with the benefits of a lifetime spent on the island, and we learned much about the history and traditions of this beautiful island. Met us at cruise terminal and was easy to find. Highly recommended.
Thank you for the opportunity, it was a pleasure to share with you a little of our island in the company of our collaborator Paulo who is a great human being and very committed. We hope to be able to welcome you again.
A half day tour provided by Spot Tourism Activities was a highlight of our stay in Terceira, Azores. Our guide, Caterina, was fluent in English and offered a steady stream of fascinating geographical and historic information as we toured the island. We hit all the scenic high points but best of all, Caterina, who was born, raised and still lives on Terceira, shared so much about family, culture and daily life in this small, island community. If you call Spot, ask for Caterina. She will make your tour a special experience.
