With Andre one more time - With Andre we had a TOP travel guide. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun with him. He was never embarrassed by an answer, no matter how stupid the question. Highly recommended.

Great way to see the centre of Terceira, without a car - I didnt want to hire a car to visit the central part of Terceira, so booked the half day van trip at the last minute. Easy pick up and great commentary from Andrea about the island. Visited four sites, each beautiful in its own way. Met all my expectations.

Half day Cave tour in Terceira - A very informative tour of the internal part of Terceira! The Gruta Do Natal (Christmas Cave) was a must see. The waves at the natural pools of Biscoitos were amazing! Our tour guide Carlitas was very knowledgeable and friendly! A great way to spend an afternoon!
