This trip was incredible! We are a family with a teenager and all of us enjoyed the trip. Great value for money and a fantastic guide who told us all about the history of the island in 4 different languages! As someone with mobility issues, I was a bit anxious that there would be lots of walking but we stopped off at 4 destinations and didn’t have to walk too far to reach the points of interest. The boys went off and did lots of walking whilst I stayed close to the coach. The coach was comfortable and the driver was amazing at dealing with the narrow, bending roads in the North. (Not a road trip for the faint-hearted!) The trip took about 9 hours including pick-ups and drop-offs and was a great way to see the diversity of the island. Would definitely recommend! Thanks so much :)

Alexander was a absolutely brilliant tour guide - engaging - charasmatic - friendly and informative. We loved every second of this tour and it felt like we had experienced many different elements of teneiefe. I especially liked there was no additional pressure to purchase anything in addition. The food at the resterant we ate at was also lovely and €16 for 3 courses and a drink. Special thanks to our bus driver joel for his amazing and safe driving skills - we would definately do this tour again. The photos we took are so instagrammable as well!

Definitely a great experience and worth your time and money. This is a great way to see most of the highlights of the island without loosing to much time. The organizators are very kind and are making the best of your trip. Keep in mind that the stop at the masca is just around 10 minutes and that you don't have an opportunity to go to the top of el Teide by the funicular. However, I would definitely recommend this tour! Tip: it is worth visiting the Dragon Tree because it is located in a beautiful garden

This was a great experience with Thomas as our guide. All of the stops from the first main stop at Teide National Park to the end in Masca were incredible. The road into and out of Masca isn’t for everyone, but our bus driver did an excellent job of safely navigating it. Most stops were 20 to 30 minutes due to the distance of travel covered during the day tour, but seemed to be about perfect amounts of time for each stop.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the whole tour enjoyable. The driver was wonderful navigating the mountains and we were so happy someone else was doing the driving!
