The beautiful part of Tenerife
A good day out. Pick up from our hotel was fine but the transfer to the bus in Los Cristianos was a bit of a wait and quite chaotic as so many tour buses arrived there at once. However our guide and driver were very good and the trip to the volcano and crater was fantastic. I also wouldn’t have missed the trip up the Masca valley for anything, despite the terrifying hair pin bends. Truly another side of Tenerife away from the soulless southern resorts.

Excellent!!!
Wonderful tour, fantastic driver Bernardo, and excellent guide, who spoke English, Hungarian and German. The guide gave us just perfect amount of information, and everything I was wondering about got covered on this tour. He had really good sense of humour and was very knowledgable. The pick-up was punctual, and nice clean bus with airconditioning and safety belts. So worth every penny! Just loved the experience!

Great day, great value, but we nearly missed out!
Be wary of pickup points. We had to make a mad dash because the details in the app were not correct. The app said we would be collected at our hotel but the bus didn’t come. Eventually I contacted a local number & the bus did not have our hotel listed as a stop. The stop was about 500m away. Thankfully the guide waited for us!

Very informative by the tour guide. Enough time given for places visited and no pressure exerted to rush the visit. Mt Tiede was particularly enjoyable though the variety of places visited added to the experience
