A Wonderful Walking Tour of Angara
Our walking guide met us in the main square — a true gentleman, extremely knowledgeable about the history of Angara. From our walk through City Hall and the beautiful gardens to a stop to enjoy a nice, cold ginginha, every moment was delightful.
We continued to the museum, the stunning cathedral, and the theatre district, gaining a deeper understanding of both the present and past of this fascinating city. The walk ended at the waterfront, where we learned about its important history and why the area is protected by UNESCO.
The tour lasted about 2½ to 3 hours at a comfortable pace, with several enjoyable stops to taste three local island desserts and savor some delicious coffee. We were the only two on the tour, so there was no need for headsets — which, for us, was perfect.
Highly recommended!

This tour was an excellent introduction for our first visit to Terceira and Angra. Good balance of history, present culture, and how families live. Gui was personable, open and sharing, and offered many insider tips. Recommended!
