HIKING XL (Full Day Private Tour)

Our guide, Juca was kind, friendly and very knowledgeable. Although I speak Portuguese, my fiancee does not, so it was great to learn that Juca spoke English well. We travelled at a tricky time of year to Terceira where the weather can change instantly, but he made great use of our time and we enjoyed many beautiful hikes and sites. Juca had a way of showing the beauty of the island even in a foggy, rainy and windy situation. My fiancee is not an expert hiker, but Juca made her feel comfortable and safe by assisting with her footing, etc during our hikes. We were only on the island for 6 days, but with Juca's help we felt we got to experience the island fully. One last thing to note is that Juca is a photographer and so we left our tour with photos of the two of us that are one of a kind and not just selfies. We would absolutely recommend Azores Expeditions.

Ein wunderbarer Tag, wie er besser nicht hätte sein können: pünktliche Abholung direkt am Schiff, fantastische Wanderungen durch zauberhaften Vulkanwald und entlang der wilden Küstenabhänge. Leckeres Mittagessen in einem landestypischen Restaurant, interessanter, gastfreundlicher und rücksichtsvoller Wanderführer mit Sinn für Humor und Leidenschaft für Natur und Fotographie. Jede Minute war ausgefüllt, aber ohne Eile und Getriebenheit. Das Highlight zum Schluss - Fotoshooting auf dem Aussichtsgipfel der Insel im Licht der blauen Stunde! Das wir so schnell nicht vergessen! Selbstverständlich: pünktlicher Transfer zum Schiff. Dieser Tag hat uns sehr, sehr glücklich gemacht! Obrigada! Bis zum nächsten Mal

This was my second trip to Terciera & we knew we had to book with Juca for at least one tour! We booked our flights and called Juca right away and he was already booked! But his wife Marisa is fabulous and she found us a time with a solo traveler who agreed to let us tag along. Not only did we have a fabulous tour but we made a new wonderful friend! The booking was easy and straight forward and the tours were wonderful! Juca knows all about the island, where to go, what to eat, and how to show his guests the best of the island! We did the Hiking XL tour and the Best View Tour. Both were customized to our requests and activity level. We saw so many beautiful places on our hikes, but we ate a fabulous restaurants and really felt like we were one of the locals. Juca gives his guests the best souvenirs, PICTURES! He is a very talented photographer and takes pictures on your own phone so you have something to remember the trip by and even is happy to give you a iphone photography lesson on the side! We would never go back to the Azores without visiting Juca! You will not be disappointed booking with Azores Expeditions.
