About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- denisesI2866PO0 contributionsAntonio private tour.My husband and I had the 1/2 day 4x4 tour booked but had a private tour of the island with Antonio. Was a wonderful informative experience. Antonio was outstanding, friendly and taught us so much about the culture and island experiences. Would definitely book another tour with Antonio being our guide.Written 22 November 2024

- Annette G0 contributionsExcellent tour. Well worth the money!Our guide, Dora was very knowledgeable and friendly. She took us all over the Island and explained everything in detail. I would highly recommend this tour and Dora as the guide.Written 22 October 2024
- gloriag260 contributionsBeautifulCarolina Toledo is very charming, bright and knowledgeable. Her enthusiasm for her city makes her tour very special. I thoroughly enjoyed her company as well as the tour. She is a wonderful reflection on your tour company.Written 14 October 2024
- karencK1691IH0 contributionsJeep too small to fit 7 adults plus driver.Carolina was an excellent tour guide and we did enjoy what we saw. She speaks perfect English and is very knowledgeable about the island. The reason I gave it 3 stars was for the jeep itself. There were 4 adults in the back of the jeep (2 bench seats facing each other) and that turned out to be very uncomfortable. If you were the people in the front or middle seats, you had a good ride and could see outside. The 4 of us in the back could hardly turn around to look out the windows, not to mention how hard it was to get in and out of the back. It would be ok for kids, just not for 4 adults.Written 5 October 2024
- 355duanes0 contributionsGreat tourOur driver/guide was Antonio, he was fun, knowledgeable, took us to places known only to locals. We saw stunning views, drove winding roads we shared with goats & saw cows on hilled terraces. We went to natural pools, saw windmills and waterfalls, I would highly recommend this tour.Written 27 September 2024
- 895CarolC0 contributionsBest tour company in Terceira according to our hotel and we agree!!Four of us took the cooking class with Antonio and Lindsay and it was fantastic!! We learned so much and laughed so hard! Antonio picked us up at our hotel and whisked us to his beautiful property. He provided drinks and delicious appetizers while our food cooked. The meal itself was the best we had on the Island. On the way back he showed us a couple of sites that were true hidden gems. Our day with Antonio was truly a highlight in our trip to the Azores!Written 25 September 2024
- BoardingPass4022600 contributionsAmazing tour of Terceira!Such an amazing tour! We were able to see so many sights on the island in just one day. Antonio made sure we had a great experience. I would highly recommend this tour.Written 21 September 2024

- Curious993560 contributionsVacationWe had the best time on this tour, the sites and sounds and the lunch was fantastic thanks Antonio for a great experience I would highly recommend this above any other tour on the islandWritten 27 July 2024
- lytaniam20180 contributionsThe best value in Terceira & so much fun!THIS IS THE BEST VALUE I think in Terceira. We saw the top three things...and had an AWESOME guide. She was local, born on island, and knew all the history of the caves, volcanoes, the haunted forest, the furnas,.... all of it. We had such a blast and it was the best 3 hours for $100 total for two people. Def tip the tour guide...Written 23 July 2024
- vincentnP1830KG0 contributionsFun afternoon!Carolina was an excellent tour guide! Extremely knowledgeable and friendly! We learned a lot about the cave formations, the natural history of the Azores, and local events! Highly recommend!Written 14 July 2024
- jasperd9740 contributionsOutstanding tour in a jeep of the culture and nature of Terceira with a very nice guide!The tour with a jeep on the beautiful island, Terceira, was an outstanding experience. Together with the very nice guide Karolinq, we explored different (hidden) gems and made a lot of fun! The guide had an answer for every question we had, so we learned a lot about the interesting culture and got the best views on the island. At noon we enjoyed homemade local food with an incredible panorama. Also, the staff was very generous with the wine and we had the chance to experience the famous moonshine. To conclude, we had a great time and would recommend it to everyone that wants to explore the culture and nature of Terceira with a lot of flexibility, so you can deside together with the guide how you want to spend your day!Written 6 July 2024
- danasZ1238OV0 contributionsWe loved our time with ProTours!This review is about as delayed as our tour was but Antonio was so lovely and accommodating I still wanted to post. We visited Terceira island in April 2023 after being COVID delayed from a planned March 2020 trip. We were visiting for a week and when we were looking into the pre planned tours there was a lot of overlap between the companies. So we reached out to Antonio to see if we could just personalize our tours with him so we didn’t have the overlaps we would have if we booked on our own and it was amazing. Every day he had new adventures planned for us in the 4x4 Land Rovers, we had home made lunches he prepared and his team set up at a scenic location (pictures from one of our picnic locations). I’m not talking sandwiches in a brown bag, I mean different types of stews, grilled meats, sides, appetizers ,drinks the whole thing. After lunch we’d be off to our next spot. Even on our days without him he was making suggestions as to what to do, where to go, how to do it and helped us make arrangements with other groups for water activities. The beautiful hydrangeas you see in Google pictures weren’t bloomed yet in April but it was a much more quiet time to visit in terms of crowds, so we were told. But we’ll definitely be returning one day and when we do Antonio will be the first person we reach out to. He was lively, full of knowledge, and fun to be around. He’ll bend over backwards to make sure you have an amazing time on the island and you can telll how much he loves what he does. You won’t be disappointed!!Written 16 June 2024

My family and I recently enjoyed an incredible fishing tour with Antonio. We caught over a dozen fish, which Antonio cleaned for us. The boat provided a very private and comfortable setting, and the captain took excellent care of us. We didn't even have to bait our hooks unless we wanted to. The views during the journey to and from the fishing spots were awesome.
After our fishing excursion, Antonio drove us to the north side of the island, where he prepared a feast with our catch. We enjoyed a delightful spread of appetizers, a main course, and all the drinks we wanted. The dining area was beautiful and added to the overall experience. We are definitely planning to book another trip soon.

Three days on the water with Manny and his Grady White boat made us hungry to come back to Terceira for more action. We tried the big game experience first without bagging any trophies but the meal , the wine, and the conversation made day one on the water a great experience. Day two was ground fishing out at the western point of the island and was successful especially when Manny invited us to cook up our catch with him! But the final trip, a half day near Angra do Heroismo, was the most bountiful. I caught four large triggerfish on a single rig while my travel partner Joe, a great captain in our New England waters, loaded up on garoupa, bright orange rockfish, and an assortment of other local specimens.
Manny had invited a friend to go out with us that last day and his guest angler Rodrigues invited us back to his house to grill up our multi colored and many flavored catch. Our host made a delicious feijao e arroz, (beans and rice) to accompany the meal and another friend joined us for he festivities. After several bottles of wine, some delicious crusty bread with queijo fresco and malagueta and a giant fish meal we rolled back to our hotel happy and full from our big adventures. I highly recommend booking a trip with Manny on his Grady White, the "Mary O" to experience Azorian fishing at its best! Thanks Manny for your incredible welcoming hospitality and give a big "Ola" and Muito obrigrado to Rodrigues and Valentin for sharing their time, wine, food and friendship. See you next year!

My son & I went out with Antonio & Captain Manny. It was grey overcast day with heavy seas; we almost had to postpone. We got out and the swells were 3 metres. The fishing was great! At least for me anyway. We had several “attaboys” and “beautifuls” from Captain Manny. As the seas rose to 5 metres we ducked into to lea side of Goat Island for a celebratory glass for bubbly from Captain Manny’s unique stem-ware. Once back on shore Antonio took us to a very cool roadside park to clean, cook and eat our fish as well as some other local delights. Thanks my good friend; We will be back!

Coming from someone who fishes a great deal and has been on multiple Charters in the past this is one that stands out. Antonio and Manny went all out, putting us on some good fish and fun was had by all even those that are new to fishing. Afterwards we took our catch to an area up in the hills of the island where we BBQ'd and were able to enjoy some local treats with great company. One of the best being 'Pappa No Smile' who had all of us smiling throughout the trip. Overall, great experience and one that I would highly recommend to other travelers.

I am interested in a fishing trip from Terceira Island on Friday, March 29th. What type of fish would you be catching that time of year? How long is one actually on the boat? My wife also wishes to know how far from shore you typically fish. Thanks.

What type of fish are you going for in November?
Written 11 November 2018
My wife and I will be spending a few days in the Azores, mainly on Terceira Island in late March 2019. Do you have fishing trips at that time of year? Also, where on Terceira are you located? Thanks.
