A nightlight of our trip! Paulo was an amazing guide! - Our guide, Paulo was excellent, kind, knowledgeable and wonderful with our two small children (5 & 9). He took us so many places and really catered the day for our family. It was an absolute highlight of our trip and so thankful we choose this as one of our activities. Thank you so much Paulo! It was a pleasure to spend the day with you. You did an excellent job sharing your beautiful island with us!

Best way to see and learn about Terceira! - Pedro was one of the best guides we ever have had. Friendly and knowledgeable - he took us to all the best spots on the island showing us amazing landscapes and views and sharing the cultural richness of Terceira. Visiting the natural pools and going inside the volcano were highlights that we will never forget. Highly recommend this trip!

Amazing day - NuNu was a great guide. We had already seen some of the things on the tour, so he rearranged the day to make it personal to us. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the island on our private tour

SPOT (the middle man) needs to be replaced - Had a great time. The driver was great but did not appreciate the fact that they added a charge of 25 Euro to get us back to where we started. The driver was told by his boss to drop us at some small town unless we paid the additional CASH to get back. We had no choice since we had a plane to catch. NOT HAPPY
