This was an excellent choice for a same-day stopover in Terceira. Riu picked me up promptly at the airport, and he gave a fantastic one-on-one full day tour of the entire island (with an excellent recommendation for lunch). Many interesting sites and topics throughout the day, and then back to the airport for an evening flight to Lisbon.

Patricia was an excellent, knowledgeable, friendly guide that even took us to an extra stop to show us some prismatic columns. She was excited to show us around and was always concerned about our comfort and safety. We can't wait to visit the Azores again.

James and Andrea gave us the opportunity to learn the history and see the southeast and east coast of Terceira, something we missed our last visit. They also gave us great ideas for the rest of our stay on the island. Thank you
