The best way hands down to learn about this amazing island is to book the full day tour with Antonio. He is so knowledgeable and professional. It only took until lunch time, to realize that we wanted to extend our time with him, so we scheduled 2 more days of tours that he customized listening to our interests. Bonuses: photography tips that he shares along the way, his fantastic stories, the company van is comfortable and luxurious, lunch at local places, many recommendations. We feel like we made a true friend on the island. I highly recommend any tour with Antonio.

This was our first time going to Terceira and Juca was recommended to us by a co-worker who had been two weeks prior. They spoke very highly of him. We spent three days with him on a private tour and it was everything we could imagine and more. Juca picked us up each day at our hotel and dropped us off at the end of the day. He took us to see things you will not go to on a bus tour. Juca knows this island inside out. He shared with us history and traditional foods and took us to some amazing local restaurants. You know by the way he is recieved and that you are recieved by the locals that he is well respected and they make you feel as though they have known you for years. You tell him what you are looking for as well as the pace you would like to take and he will make it happen. If you want amazing experiences and amazing views and pictures Juca will not disappoint. If we return to Terceira again we will definitely be contacting Juca. 10/10 and then some.

My family and I wanted to do something fun on one of our final days in Terceira back in August 2019. After searching online I came across Azores Retreat. Booking was simple and we decided on a full package of UTV's and Jet Skis. We ended up doing the West Side of the Island for the UTV's. We stopped at the cheese factory along the way for a bite and a drink. Shawn and Diana are first-class. Their knowledge of the island and the off-road routes are next to none. They ensured your safety, while allowing you to enjoy the tour. They can provide the tour in English or Portuguese without missing a beat. Highly recommend this tour! A++

Private and You decide what time to end the tour! According to the defined history the Portuguese were the first to discover the Azores. It was discovered in the year 1427, a total of 591 years a go. What you will see on this tour are much older structures with more of 1000 years located in several points of the Island that do not belong to the Portuguese. These structures belong to civilizations Megalithic e Phoenicians. This last one was discovered by us and explored by one team from the National Geographic. To see this structures you need to make some small hikes in the nature. It´s an unique tour! If you want to know more information about this tour, please contact us by email.

My parents and I spent a marvelous day in February 2020 touring Terceira Island with one of the most informative, outgoing and welcoming tour guide I have ever encountered VitorAguiar([email protected]). He provide an extensive tour around the island and ensured that all the locations we visited and activities did were geared to our needs. The tour started when he picked us up at our hotel and ended in the evening when he dropped us off at the hotel. Duuring the tour he went above and beyond our expectations. He even brought us to his house where he and his wife introduced us to the local porto wine. After we expressed an interest in buying some wine he drove us to a supermarket where we stocked up on some wonderful wine at an inexpensive price. To this day my father enjoy Portuguese wine with his meals . Vitor's private tour around the island was a really enjoyable welcome to Terciera. It is definitely value for the price.
