Recomendo a 100% esta empresa e os seus serviços. Empresa gerida localmente e por profissionais locais com total conhecimento da ilha. Viajamos em Outubro 4 dias para a Ilha Terceira, e contratamos com esta empresa o serviço de transfer-in à chegada, seguido de citytour em Angra do Heroísmo, e transfer out para o aeroporto no último dia da nossa viagem - não poderíamos ter tomado melhor decisão: À nossa chegada ao aeroporto, fomos gentilmente recebidos pelo guia João, com uma carrinha confortável e imaculada. Higiene e regras de segurança totalmente respeitadas por esta empresa. Temos que agradecer ao João toda a amabilidade, profissionalismo e serviço turístico prestado tanto no transfer, em que imediatamente fomos brindados com muitas informações relevantes e as melhores opções que poderíamos fazer/conhecer nos próximos dias, bem como no walking tour histórico/cultural na cidade de Angra, onde o nosso guia João demonstrou uma grande paixão e conhecimento. Aprendemos imenso e foi fundamental para podermos aproveitar melhor os dias seguintes. No final da nossa viagem, foi também a SpotTours e o João que asseguraram o nosso transfer-out, e mais uma vez, tudo imaculado, serviço profissional e de confiança. Obrigado à todos na SpotTours, em particular na pessoa do Sr. Mário (proprietário) e do João, jovem guia local a quem recomendo a todos escolherem como vosso guia para a ilha terceira. Voltaremos à Terceira e voltaremos a contactar a SpotTours. Força e até breve. Filipa e YorickFreedom19759871275

Beautiful tour. Well informed guide gave a history lesson we enjoyed very much. Tour does require walking up steep steps and a hill but the views are worth every step.

We ended the tour with a much better appreciation for the city and its people. Thank you, Rui!Teafor4

Our tour was scheduled for 2 pm and the agency sent us someone at 3:30 pm. No one came to pick us up and the whole tour was done by foot. It consisted basically in going up the garden then back down to the harbour front. No visit of Monte Brasil, Palace of The Captains, Igreja da misericórdia, no Câmara municipal, no Forno pastelaria. The guide did offer some interesting insights and comments but it was actually a Monday and an island holiday so everything was closed. All she could do was stand in front of the monuments and give details about places we were advised to visit afterwards. No compensation was offered for the delay or the closed places and we paid the full price (40 €) for a simple walk in front of a closed city. I do not recommend this tour or this agency.
