Full description

Experience the beauty of Terceira by minibus on a full-day tour of the entire island, including lunch in a typical restaurant. Tours typically start at 09:00 and end at approximately 18:30. Part of the 9 volcanic islands of the Azores Archipelago, Terceira is located in the central group (Terceira, Graciosa, São Jorge, Pico and Faial) and, like all the islands of the Azores, boasts its own unique landscape, culture and traditions. Visit the inside of Europe's only empty volcano at Algar do Carvão, and marvel at fields surrounded by stone walls. Enjoy lunch in a typical restaurant and get acquainted with the authentic food of Terceira, known for dishes such as Alcatra de Carne (pot roast cooked in large unglazed red clay pots).

This was the perfect way to get to know Terceira in little time. The tour covers all major points. We were a little group of 7 people in a mini bus. Our guide Tania was outstanding. She shared a wealth of knowledge about the island's history, nature and sightseeing spots. Thank you Tania and TuriAzores!

The tour was great, Tania gave us so much information about the island, showed us really nice spots and viewpoints. We had a really nice time, shared nice conversations and a wonderful local meal. (It is a group tour but we were the only ones there that day, so it was actually a private tour for us and Tania made it perfect). Thank you Tania and TurriAzores !

From start to finish our tour was outstanding. We were conveniently picked up at our hotel on time by a most welcoming guide. The tour was informative in both local and historical knowledge. Our time was well planned and at no time did we fill rushed. Our lunch at a local restaurant was beyond our expectations. This tour was well worth the cost. We definitively would recommend this tour to others that want to add knowledge, beauty and total satisfaction to their trip.
