ARCHÄOLOGIE-TOUR (ganztägige private Tour)

Juca war ein toller Führer. Wir verbrachten nicht nur den ganzen Tag damit, faszinierende archäologische und geologische Wunder zu bestaunen, sondern er führte uns auch zu sehr köstlichen lokalen Speisen. Darüber hinaus zeigte er uns einige seiner eigenen Entdeckungen auf der Insel und machte von jedem von uns hochprofessionelle Fotos. Unsere 5-köpfige Gruppe war mit dieser Tour sehr zufrieden und sie ist einer unserer Top-Highlights einer zweiwöchigen Reise auf den Azoren.

Gehen Sie abseits der ausgetretenen Pfade, um eine Totenhöhle und viele weitere antike archäologische Stätten zu besichtigen. Juts war ein sehr sachkundiger und zuvorkommender Führer. Ich würde diese Tour wärmstens empfehlen.

I had my Terceira trip booked for over a year and a half. And I had my eye on the archaeology tour for almost the same amount of time. But for some reason I put off booking til the week before I was due to travel. From the moment I reached out via email to inquire about a solo private tour, I knew I was in the right place. Marisa had a beautiful energy - friendly, reassuring, and made me even more excited for the adventure that was about to unfold. So much so that I actually booked two tours with Azores Expeditions - this one and the Underground Tour for three days later. On the day of the tour, Juca picked me up at my cottage promptly at 9am and we proceeded to have the most incredible day. From the moment we got out of the van at the first stop to the last stop overlooking the caldera, sun low in the sky, seated in the tall grass talking all things archaeology, history... it was an experience beyond what I could have imagined. I try to go into these sorts of things without many expectations, as I find it's much more fun and enjoyable that way. The sites we visited brought up so many questions for me, an archaeology enthusiast from childhood who recently started a dream job as a project manager for an archaeology consultant on the west coast of Canada. And to most of my questions, Juca had an engaging and thorough answer. And for those he didn't, we had great discussions about them regardless, with tips and ideas on how to investigate further. Stopped for lunch at a local lunch spot in Cabo da Praia and enjoyed incredible oxtail alcatra, with a side of Super Bock... ;) (let's just say I didn't really need dinner that evening). Lovely, friendly service, great conversation, neighbourhood ambiance. The tour made me even more intrigued to investigate further the archaeology of Terceira specifically, and the Azores in general. For those who have a fascination with ancient history, mysteries, anthropology, politics and these islands, this tour is a do not miss. For those folks, I cannot recommend it more strongly... I'll be bringing my son along next year.
