Catrina, our tour guide was outstanding! Clearly knowledgeable and so passionate about her island I highly recommend this tour for people visiting Terciera for the first time.

Ricardo was our driver and guide and he was outstanding! We got way more than our money's worth with him. He took us to the caves, lava tube, and steam vents as well as Duck Lake. The scenery on the way to and from was fantastic too. You really need to see the lava tube and Duck Lake if you are on the island. They were so memorable. Ricardo was super friendly with pleasant conversation and very informative about the island and its history. He is also a firefighter so my husband enjoyed talking to him about that. He was a safe driver and picked us up right at the cruise ship with a sign on his car. We really had the perfect introduction to Terceria and look forward to going back because of him and his beautiful island.

Paulo's low-key island charm was the high point of an excellent tour. He provided us with the benefits of a lifetime spent on the island, and we learned much about the history and traditions of this beautiful island. Met us at cruise terminal and was easy to find. Highly recommended.

A half day tour provided by Spot Tourism Activities was a highlight of our stay in Terceira, Azores. Our guide, Caterina, was fluent in English and offered a steady stream of fascinating geographical and historic information as we toured the island. We hit all the scenic high points but best of all, Caterina, who was born, raised and still lives on Terceira, shared so much about family, culture and daily life in this small, island community. If you call Spot, ask for Caterina. She will make your tour a special experience.

Catarina was an amazing guide. She went above and beyond to make our tour perfect. We could not have asked for me. What a beautiful and interesting island.

Wunderschöne grüne und gepflegte Insel. Angra, die Hauptstadt der Insel, hat eine charmante Altstadt, die einen ausgedehnten Besuch, mit ihren Sehenswürdigkeiten, wert ist. Vom nahegelegenden Monte Brasil hat man einen traumhaft schönen Blick hinunter auf Angra. Ein wahres Wanderparadies, auch Biker haben ihre Freude. Unser Guide war sehr, sehr gut und sympathisch. Er hat uns in der halbtägigen Tour eine Vielzahl von schönen Stellen der Insel gezeigt und alles gut und verständlich erklärt. Die gesamte Tour war hervorragend. Das Fahrzeug war überaus komfortabel. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und haben uns wohlgefühlt. An entsprechende Regenkleidung denken, es regnet zeitweise oft, wenn auch kurz, deshalb sind die Azoren auch schön grün. Bei Abholung vom Schiff bitte mit der Company den genauen Abholort vereinbaren, da manche Unternehmen keine Lizenz besitzen, das Hafengelände zu befahren und außerhalb auf ihre Gäste warten.
