Fabulous Day in Terceira - I had a fabulous day on the full day small group tour of Terceira. Amelia was an outstanding tour guide. She has a wealth of knowledge about the island and was very informative. She is passionate about her island and very personable. She showed us beautiful places and we did not feel rushed during the tour. Highly recommended!

Amazing two days in Terceira - The sites we visited were amazing. And the tour was so well organized. Amelia is an outstanding tour guide. She is highly knowledgeable and a great communicator. She was very pleasant to deal with. She provided us with lots of additional information about life on the island, history, and even the science behind the natural phenomena (all this in addition to regular tour guide information that one would expect to receive). She went the extra mile to accommodate our needs and requests. The pickup at the hotel was very easy (unlike some other tours we took during this trip, we did not have to wait even: she was already waiting for us at the hotel lobby when we came down). Amelia is a great and safe driver. It is not easy to drive in the Azores (I have first-hand experience, I rented a car for several days), but her driving was excellent. We liked the tour so much, that we booked another great tour from them for the next day (to the amazing cave inside the volcano). Both tours were competitively priced. In sum, the tours of the Azores nature Tours are highly recommended, and we would suggest asking for Amelia, if possible.

Wonderful team! - It was my first trip alone, and I couldn't have chosen better company! Jaime and Amélia are very professional, friendly, always punctual and very knowledgeable about the island. I took two excursions with them, one to the center of the island, the other around the island and even a transfer to the airport! I highly recommend it!
