A must do tour - The tour was amazing. Algar do Carvão is the must if you visiting Terceira: a unique experience. I don't sure are there other place where you can look at the sky from the inside of volcano. All other destinations were also beautiful, especially the ducks on the lagoon - I didn't expect this in volcano tour. There is a lot of cave photos here already, so I add ducks. Andre is the best guide I ever met. He's very knowledgeable, friendly and told us a lot about the geology and nature of Azores, and also about the local culture and history. I highly recommend this tour for everybody interesting in nature. It definitely worth the price.

Lots of Fun and Beautiful! - James was the best! Very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor too. We enjoyed every minute of our tour with him. The volcano was so beautiful! We would highly recommend this tour group. We loved it so much we booked him for the next morning for the western 1/2 day tour.

Most excellent cave touring - Fantastic day with Amelia! Prompt, efficient, knowledgeable, quick to smile, great hair, and conducted our tour in three languages with ease. The excitement built nicely and culminated at the Algar do Carvao which was thrilling. Thanks for a wonderful tour…

All right. - Excellent activity, the Guide was very interesting and humorous. The only small reproach is that we could have had more time to enjoy the sites.
