We live here on Terceira temporarily with the US military so we’ve seen a lot of the island on our own. But it was on of our guys last weekends and one guy hadn’t been here very long. This trip was absolutely everything we could have asked for. The island is beautiful and the food and wine and moonshine was delicious!! Our tour guide was so funny and made the tour! Highly recommend even if you live here it was nice to be able to drink and not worry about driving.

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.

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.

I had booked this tour well in advance and was looking forward to it. There I was, waiting to be picked up, as arranged, outside the hotel. After 20 minutes of no-show, I phoned the number and was informed that Algar de Carvão isn't open on Mondays, so the operator had cancelled the trip. This incompetence ruined my trip to Terceira. The tour operator should obviously not accept bookings for days when attractions are closed. I could easily have planned to do things differently had I been warned in time. I asked for a refund over the phone - after all, it was the operator who cancelled, not me - but so far it has not been forthcoming.
