Amazing tour from an enthusiastic local

Amelia is a BRILLIANT tour guide - friendly, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. She's worked in lots of different parts of the tourism industry on the island and it shows - she can answer any question on Terceira's geography or history or even modern life. She was also extremely personable - and the tour encompasses all the best parts of the island - would highly recommend this tour. Also Amelia has BEAUTIFUL azure blue hair which is not relevant to the tour but seems fitting for the Azores.

Terceira in a day

We had a fabulous full day tour of the island of Terceira! Ended up being the only couple on the tour so a few stops were tweaked to our desires! Great history of the battles of the island. Plenty of free time to explore on our own. Lunch was beyond amazing! Stunning scenery although the weather didn’t always cooperate. Our tour guide was great! Very informative and knowledgable about the island!
