Very varied and well-led tour. Andre was a very attentive guide who patiently answered all our questions and was able to tell us a lot about the island.

Tour with a gorgeous route
Fantastic tour with a gorgeous route! Andre was an excellent tour guide. I highly recommend this tour if you want a closer look at the beautiful scenery at a slower pace than you would experience in a vehicle.
J
Absolutely a great experience for bike riders
Easy ride through beautiful countryside! The views were stunning and the guide was great. Had stops at good times after hills and provide interesting information about the island. Absolutely recommend this trip for anyone who knows how to ride a bike!

A wonderful and professional e-bike tour
A wonderful almost four hours of e-biking around Western Terceira. Great quality bikes and helmets, beautiful route, and our excellent guide Andre kept us informed, and supported us, throughout. Highly recommended (albeit don’t expect too much of the cheese tasting - it’s a pleasant stop at a well known cheese producer’s restaurant, at which you’ll be presented with four tiny blocks of cheese each….but it’s a great opportunity for a nice coffee!). Suggest doing this tour early in your week to make use of tips received about spots on the island.

Ebike tour west side of Terceira
It's a great tour! Jaime knows all about the island, nature, history and other things. Being Dutch we are experienced bikers but I recommend this trip to everyone. The ebikes are well maintained and you can climb all steep hills. Definitely a 5 star recommendation! Thanks Jaime!

Must do!
This e-bike tour was absolutely the highlight of our visit to Terceira! James was knowledgeable, personable and easy to understand. We feel like we came away from the experience with a true appreciation for the culture of the area, instead of a tourist experience.

WOW! Amazing tour of the...
WOW! Amazing tour of the East side of the island. What an experience to feel the wind on your face as you coast through the countryside! We were able to admire the beauty of Terceira in a completely new way...getting up close with cows, stopping to enjoy the views whenever we desired and tasting cheese from a local farmer. Andre was THE BEST guide! He ensured our safety, helped us maximize the eBike usage, shared his historical knowledge and was a ton of fun. Thank you Andre fir an incredible day!

E-bike tour
James guided us on a great tour! The tour was rated “medium/hard”. I found it to be solidly medium while my sister found it to be solidly hard. There are hills but the bikes have turbo mode to help with that. James provided just the right amount of detail. He is knowledable and has a great sense of humor. The weather on our scheduled day was too wet for biking. The company was easy to work with for rescheduling it.
