Due to that I am the only tourist in this tour team, I was asked to cancel my reservation at the beginnings, while I refused to do so. Fortunately they decided to fulfill it finally. The guide, Rafaela did well with explaining a lot on the whole way. I prefer to enjoy the good tour, not to care about the tortuous process.

The all-day tour of Terceira was fantastic. Our guide did a great job of sharing interesting information, moving us easily from one great spot to the next, and keeping the day fun and enjoyable. I'm extremely glad I chose to take this tour. Huge kudos to the guide--she was outstanding!

Fredrik_O

The whole day was fantastic and very well organised. Our guide, Rafaela, was super professional and did a fantastic job

Terceira was a very lovely island even on the rain. Typical Azorean lunch was delicious! Guide was very helpful and knowledgeable.

Tour company contacted me a couple of days before the tour stating they had canceled the tour because i was the only person booked and paid for that day, despite confirming months ago that they could do the tour for one person. So they then booked me on a different half day tour which costs $30 euros less but would not refund me the difference. I missed out on seeing half of the sites I had booked to see but was still able to see the caves & biscoitos. The guide was a young girl who gave a brief explanation of where she was taking us (me & 2 other guests) and took us into the entrance of the 2 caves but seemed tired and disinterested for most of the 3.5 hrs tour.

Wonderful bus driver and guide. Our guide provided good detail at every stop. Lunch was delicious and plentiful with good service. Driver handled my partners mobility scooter with ease. Great tour but poor planning. We got off to a late start waiting for guests from the cruise ship and then after an hour went back to the ship to pick them up and again they were no shows. All this resulted in returning to the ship late! The guide assured us the ship would wait, but it was wrong and poorly planned. The HAL staff were waiting for us and we were hurried onto the ship. We were lucky since this was not a HAL tour but unnecessary stress at the end of a day. First time we were ever returned late to the ship on a Viator tour. Just didn't make sense.

Fred_B

Great tour! Fantastic guide. She was the best. Very knowledgeable, gave great historical context to what we were seeing. Answered all questions clearly. And she always made sure we were all aboard at each stop. Very diligent!! Our only criticism: The tour itinerary should have been adjusted to fit the ship schedule. She had to miss one of the stops to us back to the pier so we wouldn’t miss the ship departure. This wasn’t her fault.

Peter_A

The cave so impressive and the local meal. Might not be to everyone’s taste but we enjoyed it very much.

Cassandra_R

A full day to see all the main sights of the island. We booked months ago and a large group from our cruise ship added in. I’m not sure if it’s always a large group but if definitely slowed the whole day down as it took the elderly guests longer to get on and off the bus… would probably work better for smaller groups. Lunch was soooo good!

Don_B

Covered a lot of ground and I was able to get a general introduction to the island, and the people. Enjoyed the company of seven other guests, and Alex our guide/chauffer did a commendable job in taking us around safely. The lunch was outstanding.
