We had a wonderful day with Carolina. It was the only day of our trip that we hired a guide, and it was well worth it! She picked us up right from the airport and gave us a full day tour of all the highlights. We would not have known where to go without her guidance, and she gave us so much information about what we were seeing. The highlight was definitely going inside the volcano – definitely a must do!! She was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and made the whole day very enjoyable. She catered the day to what we were after and gave exactly how much time we wanted in each location. Highly recommend!
Carolina was above and beyond expectations. We only had a day on the island and wanted to have a tour to see it. It was extremely short notice but she accommodated us and promptly picked us up in the hotel. For half a day we saw the historic Uneaco town Angra de Heroísmo, several prominent viewpoints with fantastic sweeping views over the whole Island and Atlantic Ocean, windmil operation, had a great sandwich coffee and sweets in a small cafe, went to the park, went to the unique and fantastic lava tube where lava from the major volcano eruption created fascinating cathedral domes, and even at the request of my wife on a short notice visited her dad’s working farm where he was milking his cows and let my wife milk her own glass of milk! (My wife wanted to try a glass of raw milk from under the cow! ) Carolina spent extra hour to hour and a half with us and we were happy to tip her on top of her regular fee -$55 euros per person per four hours for a highly professional and pleasant tour. Her price was competitive with the large public tour groups and we had a great private service for our money. I highly recommend to book with her and to enjoy a wonder tour in her comfortable electric VW bus!
What an amazing day! Carolina is so knowledge of the island from it's heritage, farming, natural beauty, local great spots and more. We hiked to waterfalls, went into the volcano, visited Mount Brazil, the farm land, and had an amazing 4 course lunch at Ti Choa. Do yourself and family a favor and skip the big bus companies. This is the real way to see Terceira!
Carolina was wonderful! She took us to the most amazing spots in the island, even into a dormant volcano! She’s very knowledgeable about all things Tercerra. She answered any and all questions we threw at her and kept it all very interesting! Aside from being knowledgeable, she was also extremely kind, sweet and flexible. By then end of our tour she felt like family. I highly recommend booking a tour with Azorica Tours! You won’t be sorry!
She was awesome, super relatable and super kind. She was accommodating to my whole family and showed us things we wouldn’t have seen if we didn’t have her. She is super knowledgeable about her island and passionate about what she does. I would recommend her to anyone!
Our full day tour with Carolina was the perfect way to see the beautiful island of Terceira. Carolina is incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the island and the tour felt like we were being shown around by a family friend. She is kind, personable, and very professional. I would highly recommend her for any tour group!
Carolina was amazing. I absolutely loved her as my guide. She was so accommodating, homey, lovely, smart and knew the island from top to bottom. I would book her again and again! Will forever remember terciera because of her.
Professionalism and knowledge 5*! I highly recommend! (Thanks again Carolina!!!)
