Ricardo was a great guide! Shared lots of great history and stories of the island. Could answer all our questions. Was a great way to spend a morning and explore Angra.

Ricardo is very kind and knowledgeable. We started at a viewpoint at the top of the city where he gave us a very good overview of Angra ( literally). And progressed down into town pointing out many important/ interesting buildings while narrating the historical and cultural context. I would like to take a longer tour off the island someday.

One of the best tours we’ve ever had. Ricardo is very knowledgeable and passionate about history of Terceira. This tour took around three hours and we learned so much! Ricardo is very accommodating about our walking speed, we even had a short break at local cafe to relax. We highly recommend this tour when you’re in Terceira, you’ll see and learn a lot!

We enjoyed our walk with Ricardo very much. It’s a great introduction to the town and very informative.

I give Ricardo 10 stars. It was an excellent tour and I learned so much about the history of Terceira and Angra. I had to rebook the time because of a conflict with another tour and Ricardo was extremely accommodating. I highly recommend this tour.

I've done many walking tours through Viator and generally have great experiences, but this one fell short. Our guide, Ricardo, spoke in a very low voice and directed most of his commentary to whoever was standing next to him rather than addressing the group. This made it hard for many of us to hear or follow along, especially in a group setting.
Several people in our group were older adults and moved at a slower pace, but Ricardo often started talking before everyone had caught up, which felt inconsiderate. We also had unscheduled stops — one midway for a bathroom break, and another at the end due to someone experiencing back pain. While it's understandable that people need breaks, the guide did not manage the timing well, and we lost about 20 minutes to a coffee stop that wasn’t part of the advertised itinerary.
Most disappointing of all, we never actually walked through the town . The tour didn’t deliver. Overall, this felt disorganized and uninspiring — not up to the usual Viator standards.

The walking tour on May 4th had two bookings: one from Janice and another from two older couples. It began on time at the scheduled meeting point and followed the planned itinerary. Throughout the walk, we occasionally engaged in casual, side conversations about everyday topics, our pets, the neighborhoods we grew up in, our neighbors, and so on. These moments aren’t formal lectures delivered to the entire group, but rather natural exchanges that make the experience more personal and human.
When a guest suddenly needs to use the restroom, of course we stop at a nearby café, not only to use the facilities, but also to enjoy a short break. No one is expected to rush through a cappuccino in one gulp. If someone feels tired or unwell, we pause so they can recover. The walk should never feel like an endurance test.
I don’t see this as delivering a product. My walking tour is a human centered experience, created by people and for people, where values like empathy, attentiveness, and connection matter deeply.
Had Janice booked a private tour, I would have been more than happy to match her expected speed to explore every street and every monument with undivided attention.

We loved the deep history and the visit to the city hall. Our guide , Ricardo, was amazing. He gave us a very interesting look into the full history of this beautiful city.

Ricardo was timely and gave good directions to our meeting location. We started at the top of the city with a great view and worked our way down, hearing many interesting facts and stories along the way. His background in geology and history was evident.
