Wonderful way to see Terceira! - This was an amazing trip! The bikes were in great condition and very easy to use, even for a beginner. The trip took just over 3 hours and the bikes were very comfortable to ride. Our tour guide Andre was excellent! Very informative and we learned so much as we rode around. Most of the ride was on quiet country roads with only a short time at the beginning and end on roads in the town. This is a perfect way to see the island. Would definately recommend taking this tour!

E-bike tour in Terceira - This was a great way to see the more rural parts of Terceira. The scenery was beautiful and the little villages we passed through were charming. Lots of hills but the high quality e-bike made it a breeze. Andre was a gracious and informative tour guide and always checked in with us to ensure we were safe and enjoying our tour. Highly recommend. Watch out for the cow jams!

Fantastic Experience - This was a top level experience and I am so happy that we booked this tour. 100% worth it! James and Andre were so warm and friendly and made us feel so comfortable. The bikes are top quality and very easy to ride. Bicycling through Terceira was a bucket list experience! James took us on backroads that are not on the map for a unique tour! The views were spectacular! We highly highly recommend! Thank you James and Andre!

Fun e-bike Tour - This was our first experience on an e-bike, and James and Andre really helped us feel comfortable and safe, even while riding on the narrow roads of Terceira. We found some beautiful local roads and stopped at the cheese factory to sample delicious cheeses made right here! Stunning scenery, interesting information and TURBO biking made the 25 miles seem like nothing!

Wonderful tour, biking through beautiful scenery, great sites, great guide. Highly recommend. - Terrific tour. James made sure we were all comfortable and safe. Remarkable views, nice stop for some cheese testing, great scenery all the way round. High quality electric bikes made this a really pleasant and enjoyable tour. Biking offers a different perspective on the countryside and towns than either walking or driving. Highly recommend.

Wonderful way to explore Terceira! - So glad we took this e-bike tour with James! We would never have discovered the amazing vistas, small villages, exhilirating downhill routes (after impressive climbs made easy with the e-bikes), and special places James showed us on our own. Highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys cycling and wants to experience a delightful, active exploration of Terceira's beauty and culture - including the wonderful visit to the cheese factory and its unique cafe.

If you like to bike, this tour is a must - If you like to bike, this tour is a fabulous way to see a quiet part of the island. 36k, about 3 hours, with a delightful stop at the local cheese factory, James Vargas, tour guide and owner, has designed a lovely course. The first few k and the last 8 are on busier roads, but perfectly safe, while the bulk of the tour takes you on a high ridge overlooking the land, and then descends through ancient fields on roads where we saw no traffic except a tractor. It is hilly but not steep, and no problem to find the right gear for any of them with the high quality bikes he uses. Definitely our favorite expedition on the island

Great day, beautiful views. - You've already seen lots of pictures of beautiful Terceira and this bike ride is probably the best way to experience them on the island. So I provided a picture of a "Terceira Traffic Jam". We had a great time. Would recommend it to others, and would do it again.
