Carolina was an exceptional guide, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and provided a fun and wonderful day!!
Terceira is a special island and Carolina is a super special guide. She is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and lots of fun. You will feel like you have made a new friend while being guided through paradise. ❤️
This tour was like getting a local tour from your best friend who has lived here their whole life. Carolina was very personable and shared her deep knowledge and passion of the Azores and Terceira during our entire tour. We feel like we know her family personally. She gave us time at each spot, always offered to take our pictures, added a lot of historical information about the island and events here and in Portugal, and was sensitive to our needs at all times. She is great at conversation and making you feel at ease right away and throughout the day. We would highly recommend this tour!
We had the pleasure of having Carolina as our tour guide. We had an extensive trip around the island stopping at many places to appreciate view, nature and the island through the eyes of a local. Carolina was so friendly and knowledgeable and an absolute joy to spend the day with. Highly recommended this tour!!
Let me tell you if you book with a tour with Catherina with Azorica Tour you will be 100% satisfied. My husband and I travel at least 6 times per year and we always use private tours for just the two of us, However, we have never met a tour guide that cares about her clients as much as Catherina, she is professional, exceptionally knowledgeable in explaining about the island, she is savvy she knows exactly where to take you base on you request, in my opinion she is the expert in these tours. I guarantee you will not regret hiring her.
Carolina was amazing ! This woman actually cares about your safety and about the environment and about your tour he just doesn't do the tour for money she actually loves her job she will give you suggestions of other places to go other than where you book at no charge if you takes you anywhere else they would never be at charge as complimentary and she'll give you suggestions and places that you should go only use this young lady and her company because let me tell you let me tell you this is the best tour I've ever had in 10 years yes that's correct the best tour I've ever had in 10 years and because of her we are going back in 6 months but we're only going to be using this company excellent value for your money . Her company has a Volkswagen electric van... even though we had a 4-Hour trip booked we took a six and a half hours to finish it because she suggested so many other places to go to how long to wait at no charge that's right at no charge we even went to a dairy farm and I actually Milk The Cow and tasted the milk can you believe this to the readers from TripAdvisor this is the only person you should use to pick you up and drop you home and tour with don't use anyone else this is the young lady you should use I live in Canada and I'm coming back with the wife,
I found my perfect tour guide with Azorica Tours. Carolina guides her tours not only driving a comfortable and clean Van but as well applying her wide breadth of knowledge, great people skills and with her heart and soul in it. Carolina’s authenticity is deeply steeped in her love for Terceira, the island she calls her home. If you want the real thing, then you found it with Azorica and Carolina! 🩷
A fabulous day with Carolina who showed us around the island. She was knowledgeable, informative and shared her favourite spots with us. Great to spend time with someone who knows the island so we'll highly recommended
Our tour (6 people) was an excellent experience for seeing the island of Terceira and understanding the culture of the people. Our guide was very personable, patient and very thorough in providing us with best of the island. We all walked away with a better knowledge of this Azorian Island. Carolina, the owner operator was awesome. She was flexible in what to visit/see and she figured out our interests as we travelled around the island. Her vehicle was very comfortable and her driving ability excellent, important to us as one traveller has motion sickness. Strongly recommend this tour.
Thank you so much for this incredible and detailed review! It was an absolute pleasure hosting your group of six and guiding you through our the culture and landscapes. We love tailoring our tours to match our guests' unique interests on the go, so I am thrilled to hear that our flexibility made your journey so special. Passenger comfort and safety are always my top priorities, and knowing that our comfortable vehicle and smooth driving made the tour enjoyable—especially for the traveler prone to motion sickness—means the world to me. Thank you for highly recommending us, and I hope to welcome you all back to the Azores in the future! Safe travels!
