Excellent Personal Tour of Terceira and Angro Do Heroismo - I learned so much from our guide Ivo on a 1/2 day tour of Angro Do Heroismo, then a full day tour of Terceira Island. He tailored our personal tours around our interests of natural areas and geologic features. Terceira has an abundance of both. I also appreciate Angro Do Heroismo now as a beautiful historic city. We have a few more days to explore the island and with Ivo's suggestions, we will see more and understand more. That's why it's worth it to book a personal tour.

Go with Terceira Tours! You will love it! - This was an amazing tour. Ivo Silva provides a wonderful experience. He is so knowledgeable about his island. Not only did we see many beautiful places, but we learned so much about the history and culture of the island and you do so at your own pace. The lunch he arranged was spectacular. I will definitely use him the next time I come to Terceira. I wish I could give him more than five stars. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Incredible tour, a day we will never forget - This was an amazing tour from start to finish and was without a doubt the best day we had visiting the Azores. The love an appreciation that Ivo has for the island and the Azores as a whole is infectious. He allowed us to cater the tour to our interests allowing us to spend as much time as we wanted at each stop. His knowledge of the island is never ending and everyone that we encountered seemed to be a friend of Ivo's. The tour allowed us to see every highlight on the island that we were interested in and many places we know we would have missed otherwise. We also added on the go pro and drone package which allowed us to take in the beauty of the tour and not worry about trying to capture the photos. I cannot recommend this tour more! If you are going to Terceria this is an absolute must. You will not be disappointed!

Well-structured and informative tour - We did a customized food and history tour with Ivo. He was an excellent guide. In addition to what was in the agenda, he gave good advice on other things to do.

Look no further for a tour guide, Terceira Tours was Great! - Our private tour with Ivo was amazingly informative. We really appreciated that he designed the tour around the things we wanted to see as well as incorporating some of his hidden gems. He took our family all over the island and waited while we swam or lingered over a delicious lunch. We would highly recommend hiring Terceira Tours to show you the best of their beautiful island. Definitely well worth it!

A pleasant day! - It was a day well spent. The guide was very calm, never rushed us and made us feel comfortable. He has a lot of knowledge about the Island. We had lunch at a simple restaurant, with amazing food! Ivo changed the plans of our visit due to the weather (which was very thoughtful of him) and still we saw everything there was to see. To wrap things up, we highly recommend this company!

Perfect Relaxing Day Meeting New Friends - This was such an incredible tour - so personable that not only did we feel like family but we booked another day. Everything we did was fabulous - from the lunch that was custom-made to our dietary needs to the visit at the cafe where we were welcomed like old friends, it was such a beautiful experience. Ivo was an outstanding guide and the places he showed us were breathtaking. We not only highly recommend him but will be keeping in touch with him for our eventual return.

BEST tour guide ever! - Ivo Silva of Terceira Tours was one of the BEST tour guides our family has ever had during our travels. He has the most engaging personality and is so knowledgeable (he is a native of the island). We loved spending the whole day exploring this beautiful island with Ivo. We were sad to say goodbye to him!
