      Carolina was a excellent tour guide! Very knowledgeable and informative. She answered every question we threw at her. Also a genuinely kind and caring person. She is my top choice for Terceira tours.

      Recommendable Trip

      Everything fine, Mario was a proficient guide who knows the island and its particularities quite well, and answered all my questions. I never felt rushed during the individual stops and visits. I enjoyed the trip.

      Go to the caves! You’ll love it!

      Mario was a fantastic guide! He was so knowledgeable about the history, the geology and the locations of the caves. We also got to visit a beautiful overlook and natural swimming area in the ocean. He speaks perfect English and has a genuine love for the places we visited. We never felt rushed. He answered all of our questions in great detail. It was a wonderful afternoon!

      Adventure into the earth

      The volcano was truly amazing. The cave tunnels and amount of history our guide told us especially about Nasa using it to test living conditions. It was a great day even with the rain sprinkle on and off.

      Amazing tour

      Vania_P, Jan 2024
      The tour was absolutely amazing. Our guide Mario knows the island like no one. He can talk about geography, biology, history, he’s truly knowledgable about everything. He’s very kind too and even took us to other points in the island that were not included in the tour. We loved the tour, especially the volcano (Algar do Carvão - Unesco heritage). We highly recommend this tour, if you love the nature you won’t be disappointed.

      Great tour!

      Mario was such a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the island, it's history and its landscape and plant life. He was also very flexible in showing us parts of the island we hadn't seen. Highly recommend!

      Grutas e vulcões na Terceira

      JOSANTNIO_A, Nov 2024
      Muito bom o guia, o programa foi um pouco prejudicado porque o Algar do Carvão está fechado para obras e choveu muito coisa que acontece frequentemente na ilha Terceira

      Sehr angenehm und überwältigend

      Alina_W, Sep 2024
