About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- A3083FUjulieg0 contributionsA great day on TerceiraOn the tour you visit lots of places and get a real feel for the island. Terceira is a beautiful island. Our guide was Nuno, he was great! The jeep can take you places a van or bus can’t travel. It was a great tour. I would suggest it yo anyone.Written October 19, 2024
- kelliemD4206MI0 contributionsDefinitely recommendDefinitely recommend! Rui (our guide) was great. Knowledgeable about the all the sites we explored and also so interesting to learn about traditions and culture of the island from him. We were only on Terceira for a short time during a layover so this worked well for us to be able to explore as much as we could in a short timespan. We hope to visit again.Written September 22, 2024
- elizabethpB2641XE0 contributionsSmooth and efficient serviceOur driver, Francisco, was there to greet us when we arrived at Terceira airport. He was friendly and informative on our drive to the hotel and showed enthusiasm for the island. We were so impressed that we booked a tour with the company on the next 2 days. We were very pleased with each tour guide. Abel and Roy. I would highly recommend Spot tours for any transport or tour needs.Written September 9, 2024
- Kordej0 contributionsSunny day around beautiful Terceira islandTerceira Island Full Day Tour, organized by Spot Tourism Activities, is a pleasant experience. Our guide, Abel, is very insightful and provides information about nature and cultural activities on Terceira Island. The program is entirely fulfilled in a professional but also relaxed way. Our guide also picked up a cozy local restaurant where we had a nice fish meal.Written September 3, 2024

- P2243EAdavidd0 contributionsGreat Angra tour led by RuiA great tour of Angra, led by Rui Mendes who was a truly excellent guide. He knew so much of local and national history and culture. He was personable, funny and very easy to talk to and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. His English was also excellent.Written March 19, 2024
- H198CVgaryc0 contributionsSPOT ON!Our SPOTTOURS guide Pedro Silva collected our 5-person group at the airport, squired us around Terceira for 4.5 days, then delivered us to the airport for our return flights to Toronto. Pedro was always on time, never rushed us, lost sleep, I'm sure, with our late dinners, switched activities without a hitch when necessary, was always in good humour (not easy with my sense of humour) and overall showed us a great time!Written September 27, 2023

Breathtaking walk inside a volcano, many beautiful vantage points around the island, and even got to try some local cheeses where they are produced.

- Tamiebank0 contributionsThe perfect day all around!Ricardo was our driver and guide and he was outstanding! We got way more than our money's worth with him. He took us to the caves, lava tube, and steam vents as well as Duck Lake. The scenery on the way to and from was fantastic too. You really need to see the lava tube and Duck Lake if you are on the island. They were so memorable. Ricardo was super friendly with pleasant conversation and very informative about the island and its history. He is also a firefighter so my husband enjoyed talking to him about that. He was a safe driver and picked us up right at the cruise ship with a sign on his car. We really had the perfect introduction to Terceria and look forward to going back because of him and his beautiful island.Written June 16, 2023

My parents and I spent a marvelous day in February
2020 touring Terceira Island with one of the most informative, outgoing and welcoming tour guide I have ever encountered VitorAguiar(vaguiargeral@gmail.com).
He provide an extensive tour around the island and ensured that all the locations we visited and activities did were geared to our needs. The tour started when he picked us up at our hotel and ended in the evening when he dropped us off at the hotel.
Duuring the tour he went above and beyond our expectations. He even brought us to his house where he and his wife introduced us to the local porto wine. After we expressed an interest in buying some wine he drove us to a supermarket where we stocked up on some wonderful wine at an inexpensive price. To this day my father enjoy Portuguese wine with his meals .
Vitor's private tour around the island was a really enjoyable welcome to Terciera. It is definitely value for the price.

After reading the reviews here I booked a day trip with Spot Tourism Activities and wasn't disappointed! The pick up and drop off times were tailored to the flight times, and Nuno proved to be a great guide. He suggested the itinerary suitable to our abilities (we travelled as family group, aged between 6 and 60s) so all could enjoy the sights and attractions of Terceira. Very knowledgeable and just genuinely nice person. Nuno went above and beyond helping us on other issues that arose, for which we will be forever grateful.

The best way to get a good bearing of the island and local knowledge was priceless for the rest of the stay. Ana started by asking us if there was any location in particular that we wanted to see, where we had already been and how long we were here, then proceeded to zoom all over the place, showing and explaining everything along the way. She stopped thoughtfully every time there was a photo opp and even ensured the children enjoyed themselves. It was so great to take a day off and be escorted by her, and we appreciated all the knowledge that she had of the island that we used for the rest of our stay.

Our guide, Catarina, took us on a day long experience of Terceira- from the highest view points to the sea- we saw it all and loved every minute. We enjoyed learning about the island and its culture along the way. Catarina was knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating- you could tell she loved her home and enjoyed showing it off.

We were only going to spend one day on this island so we thought a private tour was the way to go. They tailored it to our needs and suggested a spectacular rare place for us to go and even suggested a wonderful restaurant for lunch in town. My husband wanted to see lava caves and she suggested going to Algar do Carvao which is one of only two intact volcano cones/vents in the world and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend it, and taking this tour. She showed us a lot of the history and beauty of the island.

We booked the full day tour of the island a couple of days before. We were picked up from our holiday house in the North of the island at 9.30am and travelled in a van. Lots of space for the 4 of is which was great. The tour guide (a local who spoke very good English) was great. We discussed the itinerary before setting off to make sure it included what we wanted to see. Lots of stops and the guide was happy to answer all our questions.
Would definitely recommend as a great way to see a lot of the island in a day.

I'm so happy I booked this tour. My family of 4 was only on the island for 24 hours and our guide was able to tailor our private tour accordingly. She picked up us at our hotel at 9am, put all of our luggage in her car, and dropped us off at the airport at 3pm. She was very knowledgeable about Terceira and the Azores. We learned and saw so much. I completely recommend this tour!

This tour was amazing! It was recommended to me by a friend, and it was worth every penny!
The tour guide is very knowledgeable, and let us set the pace. He started the tour by explaining the history of Angra de Heroismo and Praia da Vittoria. Then, he took us to volcanic caves, including Algar de Cavao, where he explained past volcanic events and what we were seeing. He also took us on a short hike at an active volcano.

We enjoyed learning more about the history of the island and the scenery was breathtaking. Our guide, Pedro Silva, was very knowledgeable, spoke excellent English, was a good driver, and best of all he clearly loves Terciera and enjoyed sharing it with us. This was our third guided day trip in Azores. All were good, but this was the best.

Katarina was an amazing guide and did her best to ensure we hit everything we were interested in. We got a really comprehensive tour of the island and didn't felt like we missed out on anything! Our favorites were all the view points, the Lake Forest, and the lava chimney.

Is it possible to take this tour from the cruise port or to get to the starting point from the cruise port?
Written October 9, 2022
I believe they usually start in Angra do Heriosmo. We paid actually for them to pick us up at the airport which is on the other side of the island because we only flew over from Sao Miguel for the day.
