FOTO TOUR (hele dag privétour - zonsopgang tot zonsondergang)

I love the creative side of photography but the technical has always left me baffled. Good with composition, not so great with ISO, aperture and all the bells on whistles on digital cameras. I didn't bring my DSLR on this trip (should have - just had my iPhone), but the learning gained from watching Juca with his camera and he explaining the settings and reviewing the resulting images will transfer without question. Always so knowledgeable, and always entertaining. Had a fantastic day - highly, highly recommended (remember your camera!).

One of the best proposals to experience the island. Azores expedition is not a simple tour, they offer a 360 degree experience of the island, from culinary flavors to the most exclusive and unique places that the island has to offer. Juca, the guide is a beautiful person, professional and creative! I also had a lot of fun with the photo session, which gave me beautiful memories to always carry with me. The best part was immersing myself in the Japanese cedar forest, walking to unique spots, immersed in the wild nature. It gave me a wonderful experience that I will always remember! I recommend everyone to book this tour with Juca who has a lot of interesting information and stories to tell! I was lucky to have this opportunity, it made my trip unforgettable!

Juca is highly knowledgeable in the field of photography, archeology, AND the geology of Terceira. If you’re looking to make sure you get the best viewpoints and snapshots here on Terceira while getting a detailed understanding of the land upon which you stand, then you have to book this.

My family spent 2 wonderful days with Juca doing 2 custom tours. He took us to the best, off the beaten track spots, provided interesting information, and took the most beautiful photos. He is patient, kind, accommodating, and super fun. No question was stupid and no request was too much. I genuinely feel like we made a new friend. If you are thinking about doing a tour with Azores Expeditions, just book it! I promise you won’t be disappointed.

I had the pleasure of joining a custom photo tour with Juca, and it was truly an exceptional experience. From the very start, Juca was a warm and welcoming presence, making our private group of 3 feel at ease right away. His extensive knowledge of Terceira island’s hidden gems and local spots was impressive, and it was clear that he was genuinely passionate about sharing the best that the island has to offer. What stood out the most was Juca's dedication and patience. He took the time to ensure that we had ample opportunities to capture the perfect shots, never once rushing us or making us feel pressured. His insights and tips were incredibly valuable, helping us to see the island in a new light and capture stunning photographs. We also enjoyed the local lunch spot that added a wonderful cultural touch to our day. Make sure to bring cash for this. If you’re looking for a photo tour guide who is not only extremely informative but also warm and accommodating, I highly recommend any of the tours he offers. It was a fantastic experience, and his enthusiasm and expertise made the tour memorable and enriching.

I am so glad I booked the photo tour with Azores Expeditions. They are a family owned business and are responsive and dedicated to giving the best tour to their clients. We had such an amazing time, and honestly the best photo tour I’ve been on. The photos were amazing, and Juca is the most dedicated photographer I’ve met on a photo tour. He was giving us multiple perspectives, taught us different settings on our camera, and showed us to lesser known places to take the most amazing photos. It was a pleasure having him show us the island!! We would have booked him again the next day if he had occupancy. Well worth the price and time!

Juca was amazing! He knew all the hidden spots to take the best photos and was so accommodating the entire time. He is an excellent teacher. I know my photographs will improve because of the tips he shared. Juca shared island history with us so we learned a lot about Terceira, too. We finished the day with some great memories and photographs to remember them by. Huge hug from Michigan!

Juca is the best guide and host, I don't think there could be anyone more professional and fun than him on the entire island, he conveys love for this beautiful place and you look incredible in every photo.

We had the most fantastic time with Juca on our photo tour. He is a phenomenal tour and guide that makes you feel like friends. We saw the most incredible spots on the island and had so much fun along the way. The photos were incredible and definitely a highlight of our entire trip to the Azores. I would come back to the island just to work with Juca again!

Juca is very nice and it was a lot of fun to be out and about with him. I learned a lot and we took photos together. The island is very beautiful and has some great motifs to offer. The photos turned out very nice too.
