Best of Terceira Island Full Day Tour

5.00We booked the Best of Terceira Island Full Day Tour with Azores On Route. Our guide was Antonio. My wife, myself, our 6 yo and 3 yo kids had the most awe-inspiring, eye-opening, thrilling adventure exploring the stunningly beautiful island of Terceira. Antonio did a top notch job all around by being a fantastic guide. We don't feel anyone else could have done a better job than he did. The whole tour was comfortable and relaxing. We were able to see and do much yet all of us did not feel overly tired at the end of the day. Trekking was light and only the Algar de Carvao was a little tricky but definitely worth the visit. Highly recommend doing this tour. There is so much history in Terceira and it is truly an awesome place.

5.00Simply fantastic, Ana in addition to speaking Portuguese is native of the third island, knows every corner, every story and curiosity like no one else and passes all the information naturally and with the enthusiasm that only a local can do. Thank you for making our day beyond fantastic, completely magical. Even my teenage son (who has/treats children at this age knows what I'm talking about) loved it.
