Big highlight of our ten day trip! We spent the day with Ivo seeing much of the beauty of the island he grew up on, Terceira. Our private tour allowed us to spend as much as we wanted in various places. We saw so much and did so much in one day. We never could've navigated this all on our own...

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 (he is a native of the island). We loved spending the whole day exploring this beautiful island with Ivo. We were sad to say goodbye...

Ivo is very knowledgeable and conscientious and will take very good care of you. He not only knows the island but wants to make sure even things outside the tour go perfectly for you
