What are people saying about Terceira

Caroline_P, Aug 2026

Seeing is believing

I chose this tour because of the consistently excellent reviews and beautiful photos, although I’ll admit I was a little skeptical and wondered if they might be too good to be true. After spending such a wonderful day with Emilia, I can happily say the experience lived up to—and even exceeded—our expectations. Emilia was an excellent driver, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Terceira. She shared so much with us about the island’s history, culture, traditions, and present-day life. Her genuine love and pride for her beautiful island made the experience even more special. The scenery throughout the day was absolutely breathtaking, and the lunch was delicious from beginning to end—a real highlight of the experience. I can confidently recommend this tour, especially as one of the first things you do when visiting Terceira. It’s a wonderful introduction to the island and gives you a true appreciation for everything that makes Terceira so special. Thank you, Emilia, for such a memorable day!

Private Caves Tour with a Geologist

He was full of...

He was full of information. We would have blundered through all of those attractions blind and missed out on soo much stuff had we tried to do that by ourselves. He was very friendly and answered every question we threw at him. This was a 10/10 experience. Favorite thing we've done in the Azores so far.

Excellent Family Tour

This was a wonderful experience. We were picked up from the hotel by our guide Bernardo in a jeep. It was just me, my husband, and my 5 year old daughter. Bernardo was very personable and a wealth of information. We learned so much about the island, its history, and its culture. We never felt rushed and he was so good with our daughter. The caves are a must see if you are visiting the island. He also gave us several recommendations for restaurants and places to go with our daughter during our stay on the island. Strongly recommend booking!

We really enjoyed the scenic wine tour, with the last stop at Victor and Helia's home base, which is set up perfectly to host outdoor parties. We learned a lot about the island, wine & food culture, and especially Terceira's tradition of Tourada à corda. Victor provided invaluable information for recommendations around the entire island for sites and restaurants. Thank you again for your hospitality!

Terceira Day Tour with Kids

We booked the Best of Terceira Highlights 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 so 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.

From Small Group to Private Escape

One of the main reasons we chose this tour was its promise of a small group experience. As it turned out, the group couldn’t have been smaller—we were the only participants that day! To our delight, it unexpectedly became a private tour. Our guide, a young lady named Madalena, was absolutely wonderful. She shared fascinating insights into the island’s history and tailored the schedule to suit our pace and interests, since it was just the two of us. The weather was perfect, and we came away having seen and learned so much. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend this tour!
