Wonderful day around Terceira - My husband and I had a wonderful tour with Agna (spelling?). She was extremely knowledgeable about the island and a delight to spend the day with. She knew we liked to swim and took us to some amazing places. The lunch was one of the best we have had in the Azores and the tour of the coffee and fruit plantation was informative and entertaining. We highly recommend this tour.

Fabulous day in Terceira - Fabulous experience start to finish. Our guide designed a custom tour based on our preferences, and then adjusted more than once along the way as we heard about new possibilities. We were a party of 4 - 2 couples from the US - and this tour managed to leave us all loving the experience. Particular highlights were the oceanside natural swimming inlets, visiting a small coffee farm, and a stroll through the epic cypress woods.

Amazing day. - We had the most amazing day! Ivo was our guide and we couldn't have been happier. We were treated like queens. Nothing was a problem. He tailored the trip to our interests and we never felt like we were rushed. Even though one of our stops was unavailable they substituted a visit to a local coffee and fruit plantation where we got to meet the very hospitable Philomena and Joe who welcomed us like we were long lost family. Don't hesitate about booking this trip. You will get your money's worth and much, much more! Great experience!

Fab tours of Terceira! - Another 5* review for Ivo and his team. We were lucky enough to have 6 days on Terceira; we opted for this company because of the "slow" emphasis. We chose a full day tour with whale watching, when we saw 5 different species. We were so impressed with Ivo's flexibilty and attention to our needs, we booked 2 further full day tours. We were not disappointed. Ivo answered all our queries, with research if he did not have the information. He showed us all around the island, with unforgettable experiences. The firm's commitment to sustainability made us feel we were contributing to Terceira's welfare. A fab company and thoroughly recommended.

Terceira adventure - Ivo was very friendly, knowledgeable, adaptable and a pleasure to spend the day with us. He accommodated our wishes and gave us a beautiful day, he even got the sun to shine. Highlights were the coffee and fruit farm, the bathing pools, overview of the caldera and a perfect lunch spot with local Alcatra clay pot dish. He was quick to provide answers to our many questions. We would love to spend another day with Ivo.

Delightful tour! - The 1/2 day coffee fruit farm tour was very charming with the highlight of tasting the coffee and liquors in the kitchen. It was a delight! And- due to a miscommunication ( on my part) I ended up double paying for the tour and the tour owner, Ivo was kind enough to call me and come to my hotel to reimburse me! Talk about honesty! Thank you!

A really customized and great tour - We've had to really customize our tour because of our little daughter, but Terceira Tours came through with maximum flexibility. Our guides were very kind, showed us interesting places to see and also some to eat and drink at, and we've had really good conversations on the way, combined with professional information about the flora and fauna. They also gave us the unique opportunity to have a small little peek inside the private life of Tercerians as well. Top notch, everyone should try a tour with them.

Some aspects to improve. - The visit was interesting. I liked the visit to Monte Brasil and the exploration of Café de São Bento. I also highlight the positive aspects related to the facts and historical sites of the island of Terceira presented by the guide. We regret, however, the lack of options for lunch and the lack of towels that were advertised for the visit to the natural pools of the biscuits. In the future, you should also consider visiting the Christmas cave.
