Great tour, we learned a lot about the city that we couldn't really discover on our own. Super friendly guide! The only downside is that you never know which group you'll end up in. There were only three of us, including the two of us, but the third person monopolized the conversation and made the tour a bit heavy. But that's independent of the guide's performance. I still recommend it!!

Carolina went at a pace that suited everyone in the group. She was very knowledgable about the history of Angra and gave us lots of information about where to eat and what to visit during our stay. Excellent .

We enjoyed our walk through Angra, visiting the best spots of the city with our guide, who explained us a little bit of the history and the people of Terceira. She was very helpful and friendly. Thanks a lot!

Our tour was excellent. Carolina Areias Toledo was wonderful. We loved the tour and learned so much about the history and architecture of Terceira. Highly recommend!

It went very well, very interesting and enjoyable.
