First off, book directly with Azores Expeditions. Marisa is lovely to work with, quick to respond, warm and friendly. Juca met us at 8:50 for a 9 am tour. He also is friendly, professional, fun and very personable. His English is excellent although he speaks many other languages as well. Our private full day excursion was in one word: AWESOME. He is so knowledgeable about Terceira, he takes you around to all the best places on the island, including some that are unknown to most. He is a professional photographer - a perk I missed in the description - and he took great photos of us and even showed me how to take better pictures myself. He is cognizant of your wishes and your skill levels with hiking. If you have places you want to see, or specific things you want to do, he will take you, or you can leave the day in his very capable hands. The lunch he took us to was delicious and his dish recommendations were perfect. We had two amazing days and tours with Juca. He is priced very reasonably, and we would have paid more for what we got. Marisa and Juca truly made the start of our trip. Excellent company, excellent, interesting and knowledgeable guide, excellent tours. Thank you to Juca and Marisa!
