• 5Fantastic and Rich Tour Experience.

  We had a fantastic guide - Abel, a 22 year old university student who grew up on the island and knew the history and culture of the island through and through. His English was perfect. He took us to see so many interesting place on the island. The car was clean and he was a great driver. When it was lunch time, he asked us what we wanted to eat and took us to a wonderful place where there were no tourists. The fee for this trip was very reasonable. I would use Spot tours again. We felt we really had a great understanding of Terceira by the end of the day. It is a beautiful island.

• 5From Small Group to Private Escape

  One of the main reasons we chose this tour was its promise of a small group experience. As it turned out, the group couldn’t have been smaller—we were the only participants that day! To our delight, it unexpectedly became a private tour. Our guide, a young lady named Madalena, was absolutely wonderful. She shared fascinating insights into the island’s history and tailored the schedule to suit our pace and interests, since it was just the two of us. The weather was perfect, and we came away having seen and learned so much. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend this tour!

• 5Fantastic island day trip

  We found this to be a superb way to see the island. We were lucky to have Fabi as our guide who shared much of the history and culture of the island with us. She adapted the tour to suit our interests and the weather which can sometimes unavoidably remove some options. We were able to discover some hidden gems which alone with a hire car we could never have hoped to find.

• 5A great guide and advocate for the island

  Madalena was a superb guide. She was very kind and thoughtful and taught us much about the history, culture and politics of Terceira. Her passion for the island really shone through. We both thoroughly enjoyed the tour and learned a lot from it. Many thanks.

About Angra do Heroísmo

Angra do Heroísmo is the old stone town of Terceira island in the Azores, a UNESCO-listed port of colourful houses, churches and a fortified headland.

Angra do Heroísmo, on the south coast of Terceira island in the Azores, was a key stop for ships sailing between Europe, Africa, India and the Americas from the fifteenth century. Its old town, a grid of cobbled streets lined with whitewashed and pastel houses trimmed in dark volcanic stone, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town was rebuilt after an earthquake in 1980 and kept its old shape. The Sé Cathedral and the Jardim Duque da Terceira are at its heart.
