My father was based at Lages in WW2 and this tour with Vitor brilliantly filled in the history and brought to life what my father would have been part of. Vitor was an excellent and knowledgeable guide who went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed the trip.

My dad and I booked this tour to get a better idea of the place where my grandfather was stationed with RAF Coastal Command in WW2. I had expected this to be quite a dry, military-history based tour, but it was far from that! Vítor is a fantastic, engaging guide and covered so many different aspects of life on Terceira today and in the past. The tour was so much better than I ever expected and we finished at Vítor's home for a glass of wine and a delicious slice of Dona Amélia cake. A completely unforgettable experience - thanks so much, Vítor!

This was an amazing fun tour, filled with a lot of information and laughs. The views have been some of the best views we got to see after even being on the island for a week. The wine was delicious and we were given a few different ones. Vitor and his wife were super welcoming and her food was AMAZING! I've been recommending the tour to friends and family since getting to experience it yesterday!

Our guide was absolutely fantastic. Great sense of humor. Entertaining and informative. He taught us local history and some phrases. Responsive to our desires to stop every once in a while for photos. We learned so much military history that we had never heard before. Answered our many questions. He even introduced us to his wife who fed us delicious treats. We would totally do this tour again.

Vitor's tour was fantastic. My father was based in Terceira with the Royal Air Force from 1943. Vitor's historical knowledge was superb and his descriptions of the sites we visited gave us an excellent understanding of the building of Lajes airbase in World War Two and its expansion in the Cold War. A truly memorable experience.

Had a fabulous time with Vitor! He took the time to show us and educate us about the island and volcanic wine in the Azores. Would highly recommend! He was kind enough to connect us with locals for a truly cultural experience while we were in town.

Highly recommend. The tour feels personal, genuine, and compelling, largely due to Vitor's infinite knowledge and passion for Azorean wine and culture. I recommend trying to book the trip early in your visit so you can use it as a resource to frame your time on the island.

Vittor made this tour.. we had an idea of what we wanted to see and he advised and improved our ideas! He was very helpful, knowledgeable and passionate about his island. A truly memorable day. Thank you Vittor

Victor was an excellent guide, sharing much about the island in addition to the wine. He was knowledgeable, pleasant, and a great ambassador of his island. I suggest you take the tour at the beginning of your stay as the information imparted was helpful when we visited other places on the island. Looking back, I wish we had booked more tours with him instead of renting a car.

We booked a 5 hour wine tour knowing the highlights were the wine museum, the natural pools and a wine tasting paired with small plates. . We did not know that our guide Victor would change from extremely knowledgeable wine and Azore Island tour guide to our host with the most! We ended our tour in a very special place tasting wine, eating small plate specialties, talking and enjoying each others company. We left feeling like we had a new friend in Terceira, full bellies and full hearts! Thank you to Victor and his beautiful wife. Also we forgot a jacket in his van and he returned it to our hotel later in evening. Very much appreciated! We recommend this tour!

Victor picked us up from our ship, provided an informative tour, especially interesting to see the air base that was active during WW2 and now being re-activated. Upon arriving at his home we were greeted warmly by his wife, Helia, and taken into their lovely backyard/garden for several local appetizers, some cooked right in front of us. Served local wines that were delicious, while getting to know our hosts. We then moved into their dining room where we were served a traditional Azorean beef stew, slow cooked for 5 hrs in a clay pot with delightful seasonings. After supper we were served an "Amalia cake" and more wine, some made personally by our delightful hosts. We had interesting conversation, learning about some of their customs and saw video of the bull run that occurs every year right outside their home! Victor provided photos from the air base, i mentioned earlier, from when it was active and explaining how important it was/is geographically. All in all, we would heartily recommend this experience, we have shared with our friends that it was the highlight of our entire 14 day cruise. thank you, Victor and Helia.

We had a wonderful evening with Victor and Helio. They served a delicious traditional Portuguese dinner with appetizers, deserts and wine. We learned a bit about the local culture and some interesting information about the geologic history of the island. Overall, a great evening. Thank you.

Vitor was an amazing guide. He kept in touch, was prompt in picking us up at our cruise ship. The tour was so interesting. He introduced us to local food. We cannot say enough about how great our day was.

Absolutely worth every penny. The tour guide was very knowledgable and made the entire experience so interesting. His knowledge of wines and their history was fascinating. The afternoon luncheon was delicious and exceptional. It was a delightful time. Highly recommend Victor, he will be the highlight of your trip.

Dinner with Victor and Hélia was so much fun! They welcomed us to their home for a local dinner experience. The dinner was so special to know the importance of the dishes, and they were especially delicious. They were able to share many stories about the island, the history and events, and even offered a lot of wonderful recommendations for our stay.
