Terceira Tours is highly recommended. Ivo was very knowledgeable and proud to share the history and culture of the island of Terceira. As a private tour we were able to veer off in different directions based on our interests or changing weather and take our time as we desired. We appreciated Ivo’s kind demeanor and attention to detail, going the distance to find extra information. Wonderful experience!

Ivo is a fantastic tour guide and he is passionate about his island! We were the first school group that Ivo worked with and we had a fantastic 6 days in Terceira with plenty of activities, ranging from whale watching to hiking to environmental activities and hands-on experiences. The people in Terceira are welcoming and the island is beautiful and what struck me was the collaborative spirit of this agency, involving different businesses and partners throughout the island in a productive synergy which also ensures economic sustainability. Ivo was so popular with our students and so kind throughout the entire experience. Flawless organisation!

I can't say enough great things about Ivo. We had an absolutely amazing day exploring Terceira. Ivo was so knowledgeable, friendly, and relatable. He truly wanted the best tour for us, and when I couldn't decide on which tour to do, he suggested the best way to spend the day based on our interests. We saw so many things in the half day that we had with him, and I am so grateful we connected so that we could have this opportunity. I will recommend Ivo to everyone looking to learn more about the history, culture and happenings of the island!

Ivo went above and beyond to make sure our tour was family friendly! I loved that he would tell us all the interesting information then let us roam friendly to explore at each location that we stopped by. I can’t wait to come back with my whole extended family and do another tour with him!

Ivo made our first day in Terceira one that made us already want to return! He was knowledgeable and gave us so much background knowledge on Terceira, the land, the animals and the culture that could only come from a local. We did a full day hiking tour and went on 2 beautiful trails, had a delicious picnic with local foods and saw the island's very own volcanic cave! Even after the tour he gave us restaurant suggestions for our stay (and these were my favorite restaurants during our whole stay in the Azores)! If this is your first time to Terceira, this is a must, and if not, it's a great bonus. Thanks Ivo!

This was such an incredible tour - so personable that not only did we feel like family but we booked another day. Everything we did was fabulous - from the lunch that was custom made to our dietary needs to the visit at the cafe where we were welcomed like old friends, it was such a beautiful experience. Ivo was an outstanding guide and the places he showed us were breathtaking. We not only highly recommend him but will be keeping in touch with him for our eventual return.

Look no further and book a tour with Ivo of Terceira Tours. We spent a full day with Ivo who is extremely knowledgeable, professional and accommodating. He was by far the best tour guide we had while visiting four Azorean Islands. You could tell that he truly wants his clients to have a wonderful experience exploring Terceira. He completely answered our numerous questions in well spoken English and adjusted the tour to meet our needs and interests. We thoroughly enjoyed each and every stop he planned along the way and the restaurant he selected for lunch was fabulous. Ivo is a gentleman and an AWESOME tour guide. Reserve your spot with Terceira Tours today! - You will not be disappointed.

We had the best time on our tour. Ivo was knowledgeable and kind and really tailored the experience to us and our interests. The island is incredible but experiencing it with a guide and learning more of the history, culture etc made for a much richer experience. He facilitated a tour that was a perfect mix of delicious food, stunning nature, art, culture and history. I highly recommend them!

Ivo Silva of Terceira Tours was one of the BEST tour guides our family has ever had during our travels. He has the most engaging personality and is so knowledgeable, being a native of the island. We loved exploring this beautiful island with Ivo on his full day slow tour. We were sad to say goodbye to him when it was over!

If you are visiting Terceira, I strongly recommend you do the private tour with Terceira Tours. Ivo was our guide and he was amazing in so many ways. He presented the history and cultural information about the different places in such way that kept us always so interested throughout the tour. He took us to many breathtaking spots one always as beautiful as the other. Ivo took us to a remarkable restaurant for lunch that served us traditional Terceira food that was absolutely delicious. And the view stunning! He gave us ample time to take pictures and time to explore certain spots further on our own. My husband and I had the best time on this tour and we greatly appreciated Ivo’s kind demeanour and attentiveness to our needs. We have done many tours but this is truly a 5 star tour! Thank you Ivo for the great memories.

I have never been on a tour where I felt so comfortable. Ivo is born on the island and he knows the history of the island plus so much more. He took me to the mountain, the famous lagoon, cave, and lava tubes. He is very relaxed and let's you know that you can take your time to look at all the many details. Ivo works many hours yet he informed me that I could go past the hours of my tour. He offered to take me to the cheese maker (which would have made my tour an hour longer!) but I was tired. Ivo, I must thank you for providing this incredible tour. You are professional and so kind. Thank you for sharing your island with me. I have so much respect for you and this beautiful island. I would give 10 stars if this site let me. All of the very best to you and your family.

We enjoyed the city food tour as well as the caves and lagoons tour. Ivo (our tour guide) was absolutely fantastic. He was kind, professional, knowledgeable - it felt like going out to explore with an old friend. The care he took with us was really appreciated. Thank you so much Ivo.We don’t normally do tours, but found it greatly enhanced our experience in the Azores. Couldn’t be happier.

We had a wonderful time on our 2 tours with Ivo. We did the Lagoons and Caves tour and the half-day food tour, both of which were awesome. Definitely come hungry if you do the food tour!

We arranged our flights home so we could have a full day layover on the island, and booking a tour with Ivo was the best decision we could have made. We were traveling for a few weeks and this was by far my favorite day!As you can tell by the reviews, Ivo is an EXCELLENT tour guide, but he’s also one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet— so it’s more like your friend showing you all sorts of amazing places on Terceira.Can’t wait to go back for tour #2! :):)

Ivo and the tour day that he picked for us was amazing! There were 6 of us on the private tour. We each had varying degrees of walking abilities and Ivo made sure we were all comfortable. The sights and activities were interesting, beautiful, and fun but Ivo’s hospitality and knowledge are what made our day so special and memorable. We asked many questions and he knows everything! I would come back just to spend another day with him on this beautiful and unique island.

My wife and I ended up choosing the full day slow tour with Terceira Tours and it was the best decision we made! Ivo was professional and courteous from beginning to end. He showed up on time, was knowledgeable, and was creative and flexible in adjusting the tour. He asked what we wanted to focus on and went out of his way to bring us somewhere if it caught our eye. We saw all of the major attractions along with many not so known locations. He gave us recommendations for additional places and restaurants to try while on the island. I cannot recommend Terceira Tours enough!

Amazing trip with TerceiraTours as the customer service was excellent! Extremely professional and helpful. We had a great time and would 100% recommend this tour company to anyone interested in exploring Terceira Island. Fees are reasonable and well worth it.

We had 1 full day on Terceira Island, and we are so happy we spent it on this tour.Ivo was an incredible guide - he showed us around to all the main points of the island, mixed with a few surprises along the way. Not only was he super informative, but very chilled and did not rush or pressure us to move from one place to another - he customized the day to our liking.Definitely recommended to anyone considering going.

Wow!!! What a great and unforgettable full day tour by the one and only Ivo. A perfect organisation and a trip to the hidden and abandoned places on this beautiful island. But also a tour to the residents, who live behind the high volcanic stone walls. Our highlight was an „expedition“ to a piece “Central America“ on Terceira Island. A unique place you would never expect to find here (a surprise is included). Try yourself - booking Terceira Tours is your first step.

Ivo is a tour guide you will remember for years. He is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet and it was obvious his passion comes from helping travelers uncover the beauty of the Island. He crafted the schedule specifically for us and we never felt rushed. We cannot wait to come back and travel more of the Azores with Ivo.Asya and Ben

Fantastic! Excellent! Terrific! Wonderful!I did a four hour private tour with Ivo. He showed up on time, was fully prepared, and was a safe driver. The van was clean and im mint condition. That's the basic stuff...Now for the stuff that matters:Ivo knows his island inside out. He was knowledgeable about the history and culture of Terceira, about the island's flora and fauna and marine life, about food, climate, local industry, island trivia, and so on. I had a delightful tour, which included seeing amazing scenery, a few hidden gems, and dipping into some cozy places for snacks and coffee.We went at a leisurely pace and we had plenty of time to enjoy the sights and stops along the way. I would definitely book Terceira Tours again. Ivo was an absolute pleasure to have as a tour guide. it was a great outing and it's the stuff that memories are made of.Jill, from Toronto

Our guide Ivo was the most amazing person you will ever meet..he is so friendly, accommodating and so fun to be around..his knowledge of the island is extensive and he knows all the most amazing places to see! I cannot recommend him enough and wish we were here longer to spend more time with him! He made our trip beyond memorable! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!

We had a phenomenal day with Ivo. Ivo was very personable as well as incredibly knowledgeable. It was like spending a day with an old friend seeing new places. We learned a lot about the geology, the fauna, the people. We had a lovely late afternoon tour a coffee plantation and were treated like old friends. We highly recommend the full day “slow” tour, and we would recommend Ivo and Terceira tours any time.

Ivo is simply the best! His level of professionalism is hard to find. He thinks of little surprises during his tours. He is also very punctual. Always friendly and would give him 6+ stars if I could. Don't hesitate in booking with Terceira Tours.
We would highly recommend Ivo for anyone wanting a tour of Terceira. He is so knowledgeable & passionate about the island. He took us to so many beautiful places, many of which are not visited by other tours. He booked us into a fabulous restaurant for a typical Terceiran lunch. The food, service & views were amazing. We would definitely book him for one of his hiking tours next time.

A Must Do! We had the most wonderful day traveling on this private tour of Terceira island with owner Ivo. He is a super kind, thoughtful person who shared his love of his island with us. We saw so much and enjoyed every minute with him. He is in high demand so book early! (pictures a just a few of the areas we got to enjoy)

Fantastic tour and well worth our time and money. If you’re thinking of booking a tour of the island you can’t go wrong with Ivo. He is very informative, can speak many languages and will cater to all your needs. What we especially enjoyed was his patience with everyone, the choice of restaurants, cafés and local establishments where we were able to see, sample, and enjoy great food and company in an entire day. Just tell him what it is you enjoy doing/seeing and leave the rest to him. You won’t be disappointed. Check out his site for various activities. Once again Ivo, thx for a wonderful experience. Looking forward to returning to your beautiful island. We will certainly recommend you to other family and friends. Cheers 🍻

Me and my partner booked a slow full day tour of the island and it was amazing! Ivo was our guide and he did everything to make sure that we got the full history of the island and all the best sites. Ivo even shared some of his own experiences and answered any additional questions we had for him. He was truly knowledgeable, caring, and respectful. Ivo even goes beyond for the people of the island, making sure to include them and their experiences in the tour, going to different restaurants every tour to make sure to spread the wealth, and made sure that if anyone had an allergy or dietary restriction to honor it and make sure they were comfortable and safe. A truly amazing experience and I would gladly do it again.

Terceira Tours, the owner and guide, Ivo, shared his knowledge of this lovely Azores Island. He was personable, flexible with our schedule and excited to promote his island. My mother, a travel agent and I enjoyed the various historical sites, the volcano, the lava tubes, the views, and the local culinary delights. In regards to the environment, we appreciated his thought to using reusable water bottles and quick drying towels.We highly recommend booking Terceira Tours and Ivo!

Amazing day, one of our best on our trip to the Azores. Really worth the money. Our alternative was to rent our own car, but this is just the same but better. He takes our wishes into consideration and adjusts to our needs. Thank you Ivo!

I spent a week in Terceira with a few friends and had been on a few tours before one of my travel partners had found Terceira Tours. I'm so happy that she did! Ivo, our tour guide, made sure to make this tour very personable. He asked all the questions to make sure we hit all the spots we had not seen yet and made sure we were prepared for anything. He had walking sticks, rain coats, water, fresh fruits, first aid kit, and probably much more for the just in case situations. He was so respectful with everyone and very patient and accommodating. He also offered to take pictures and make a special video for us. It felt like he was more than a tour guide, it felt like we were all good friends. Im very thankful for that day and the memories made! I 100% will recommend him to all my friends and family and strangers alike.

Absolutely the best! I’ve made the last day on Terceira our best! Our whale watching tour cancelled due to weather, I contacted Ivo, sent him info on where we had been and what we’d still like to see and he went above and beyond to make our day wonderful! Kind, courteous, friendly, happy, Ivo made our day. I can’t say enough good about him and his tours!!!!

Five stars are not enough! I wish I could give more - Ivo deserves every star in the universe. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the island, and did an incredible job tailoring the tour to our interests. What a delightful person and absolute joy to spend a day exploring a beautiful island with. There’s really no better way to get to know Terceira and the hospitality of the people. We loved every minute!
