From Small Group to Private Escape

Andrew_C, Oct 2025
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!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience!

Fantastic island day trip

Susan_E, Jun 2025
We found this to be a superb way to see the island. We were lucky to have Fabi as our guide who shared much of the history and culture of the island with us. She adapted the tour to suit our interests and the weather which can sometimes unavoidably remove some options. We were able to discover some hidden gems which alone with a hire car we could never have hoped to find.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words!

A great guide and advocate for the island

Mair_R, Mar 2025
Madalena was a superb guide. She was very kind and thoughtful and taught us much about the history, culture and politics of Terceira. Her passion for the island really shone through. We both thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learned a lot from it. Many thanks.

Great tour! Highly recommend.

Madelena was a wonderful host! She is kind, knowledgeable and made our tour relaxing and amazing! My husband truly enjoyed sharing history and life experiences with her as he is Portuguese.

marg_d, Oct 2024
Patricia was an excellent driver/tour guide! We saw and learned so much about this fabulous island, its history and a little gossip to make it even more interesting. My only regret is we couldn’t stay to see the neighbourhood bull fighting! Hope you offer it next time as it sounds like a great way to experience something uniquely local.

Make This Tour Part of Your Vacation!

Robert_K, Apr 2023
Promptly at 9:00 am, a lovely young lady, Catarina, from Spot Tourism Activities, arrived to take us on a wonderful day exploring this beautiful island. She was aware that we only had one day to experience all we could and she delivered beyond our expectations. She put her best effort forward and we appreciate all of the history she shared of the island she clearly loves so much.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for your words and for the opportunity you gave us to share with you the best that our wonderful island has to offer.

Best Way to Terceira!

Wayne_H, May 2022
The tour was amazing and the guide was so knowledgeable. We had the best time ever!!! It was nice because it was like a private tour, just the two of us. I wish we would have done this the first day we got there, but oh well, nonetheless, it was a great experience!!!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you for your review, we are happy to know you enjoyed our services!

That was Awesome!

Quest723085, Aug 2019
Maura was the best tour guide who knew all the places to take us for food, fun and adventure. Super knowledgeable about the island’s history and natural geological elements. We flew in for the day and she kept us hopping until our flight left that night. Thanks for the best memories!

Awesome, Fun Tour Lead By an Equally Awesome Guide

If you have the opportunity to have Mara as your tour guide, you’ve hit the Jackpot! Sit back, relax and take it all it. She is truly and exceptional guide on top of being a kind, genuine person who loves what she does. I’m so happy for the time spent and couldn’t think of a better way to see such a beautiful place. Thank you!!!

Response from Host, Aug 2019

Stefanie_L, Apr 2023
Wir wurden für eine zusätzliche Gebühr von 40 Euro direkt vor dem Schiff abgeholt. Danach haben wir uns auf den Weg gemacht, weitere Gäste einzusammeln. Alle beschriebenen Punkte der Tour wurden besucht. Mittags gab es Zeit für ein Mittagessen. Unser Guide hatte jederzeit viele Infos über Land und Leute. Es war eine sehr entspannte, informative Tour.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for your words, we hope you had a good day on our island, taking good memories with you. We charge the extra fee for the pick-up because your pick-up was outside the stipulated zone on the platform. And as you booked a shared tour and not a private one, we added more customers than we had for that day on a shared tour. Thanks again for the opportunity.
