Definitely recommend
Definitely recommend! Rui (our guide) was great. Knowledgeable about the all the sites we explored and also so interesting to learn about traditions and culture of the island from him. We were only on Terceira for a short time during a layover so this worked well for us to be able to explore as much as we could in a short timespan. We hope to visit again.

Great way to see the island!!!!
Catarina was the best! I started my trip with flight delays. I was able to switch my pick up to the airport on short notice, and the company was great about it. Catarina met me at the airport and gave me a tour of the island. I felt like I was able to see so much during our tour (from scenic overlooks to cheese tasting to Algar do Carvão). Catarina was so nice, really loved the island, and was able to teach and show me so much. It was a great way to start the trip. I highly recommend!

Very pleasant island, to return
Nuno was a very pleasant guide for our excursion to the island of Terceira. We saw beautiful views, but what was breathtaking were the “beaches” formed by lava from the nearby volcano with a lunar landscape and many small natural pools. Nuno was very good, competent and accompanied us on this excursion with all his sympathy
