5.00Enjoyed this tour with Jamie during our 4th full day on Terceira. Very interesting areas of the island we had yet to see, and the information provided by Jamie made the experience that much better. Walking through the inside of a volcano was a first for me. Thank you again!
Great half day trip!

5.00Wonderful tour of the lava tubes and the interior of a volcano in the middle of the island. André was a fantastic guide, knowledgeable, sincere and respectful. He sent a message ahead of time to let me know the pickup time which was a great help. Comfortable van. I will go again with this company.

5.00While the weather did not cooperate, we still had a fun tour of lava tube and volcano. The weather meant we skipped the fumarole, but James gave us some extra time at Quinta dos Azores - for coffee and a snack Also we had delightful stop at the duck lagoon. Very peaceful.
Sooooo cool

5.00With 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

5.00I 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.
Great experience
