Great way to see the Island in a Day
We had a fantastic Tenerife day tour with Eugene! He gave us an amazing tour of the island and shared so much great information along the way. Masca was absolutely stunning, the Northern Coast views were breathtaking, and the drive up to Teide was unforgettable. A great experience from start to finish — highly recommend!

The sky is the “star” of the show!
This tour is fantastic! Definitely a “must do” when in Tenerife. All of the staff is so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the experience. Our guide Craig provided a lot of great information on our way up the mountain and explained the format for the evening. The meal provided is good, with plenty of wine included. But definitely the sky is the “star” of the show! Thank you Night Smies Tours, for an unforgettable experience.

Incredible!
Ozzie is an incredible tour guide and made our trip! We had a last minute schedule change but all went smoothly due to his communication. We ended up doing a slightly different tour with stargazing but loved it! Would recommend any tour with him and his team.

Spectacular Views at Teide Natl Park, Plus Charming Historic Towns
Had good communication beforehand from our driver/guide Angel, and met him as instructed at clock tower near the cruise terminal. This was a small group of 8 in a large van (6 from same cruise ship). Angel was friendly, funny, chatty and very informative. We went to Mt. Teide first, a wise move to beat the crowds. Just know it's about a 45-min drive up a very curvy but smooth mountain road through the clouds then above clouds and tree line for blue sky views and amazing changes in terrain! Made a few stops at amazing overlooks then 1 hour at the park's coffee shop and museum area. Next another 45-min drive down the mountain by a different route, first to former capital and charming historic town of LaOrotava. We had 45 min free time there, then on to another historic town, LaLagunda near Santa Cruz, for 1 hour of free time. Driver was kind enough to drop us off at cruise shuttle bus to avoid a long walk with heavy packages. Total time 6.5 hr. It was an enjoyable day and great way to see some of the north, south, and central parts of this beautiful island. Note--water and lunch are not included but can be purchased at any of the stops.

A great day out
Great way to experience the drive to Mt. Teide in the Cabrio bus . If you want to do the cable car ride make sure you book that as an extra .
Our guide Juan was excellent and made the trip fun and answered any other questions we had .
Our driver Manuel skilfully negotiated the narrow winding roads which can be busy with traffic , especially tourists in hire cars !
Would definitely recommend this tour , such beautiful scenery and fantastic views from the bus .

Great Wine Tasting and Tapas Outing
Small group (6 people) allowed for a private touring experience. Great customer service working around our cruise docking delay. Lola had a great attitude and lots of local knowledge. We visited 4 wineries and a small local restaurant for tapas. Excellent excursion and so much better than the large cruise ship experience.

Wonderful experience! Our...
Wonderful experience! Our tour operator Maia Rosa was very knowledgeable the only thing is the tour was in three different languages so I think that was kind if draining for her and perhaps took away from the experience. I am sure she had a lot more information she could have given us if she didn’t had to repeat the same thing three different times.

Best Sunset Ever! 🌅🗻
This was the best way to visit Mount Teide. It exceeded my expectations and was well worth the money. I watched the best sunset of my life above the clouds. Our tour guide Isabel provided an educational and comedic experience. Do not hesitate to book this tour!!

Lovely trip
We would absolutely recommend this trip to Mount Teide. It was a really personalised experience, with a small group of just four people, which made it feel relaxed and enjoyable. The van was comfortable and just the right size for this kind of tour. Our guide was excellent, very knowledgeable, passionate about the area, and able to speak multiple languages fluently. He clearly loves what he does and it shows in the way he shares information and looks after the group. He also brought along his little dog, who was lovely company and added a really nice touch to the experience. He is also a very careful driver which made the journey even more pleasant, especially on mountain roads. Overall, a great experience and a great choice if you are looking for something more personal and authentic.

Magical night
It was a magical trip seeing the sun set above the clouds followed by a very knowledgeable guide Ozzy telling us about the planets and stars and looking at the sky through telescopes. Would highly recommend this trip. Very well organised. One word of advice bring warm clothes for the stargazing in January 😊

Absolutely phenomenal experience — and Basso is the reason why.
From start to finish, this tour was executed flawlessly. Basso somehow managed a diverse group in three different languages with total ease, never once making anyone feel left out or secondary. That alone is impressive. What really set him apart, though, was how he did it: with effortless humor, genuine warmth, and an almost uncanny attention to detail.
He was organized without being rigid, informative without being dry, and funny without trying too hard. You could tell he truly cared about the group’s experience — checking in, adapting on the fly, and making sure everyone felt comfortable, engaged, and included. That kind of emotional intelligence is rare in tour guiding.
And this isn’t coming from a casual traveler. I’ve been to more than 70 countries, taken countless tours across continents, and this one easily ranks among the very best I’ve ever done. Basso didn’t just guide us — he elevated the entire experience.
If you’re considering this tour and see Basso’s name attached to it, book it without hesitation. You won’t just learn a lot; you’ll have a genuinely memorable time.
Bravo, Basso 👏

Our Tenerife Adventure
Greg was a fantastic guide! Punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, and accommodating with our tour. It's impossible to see so much in so little time (we were cruise passengers), but Greg made sure we were able to thoroughly enjoy all the places that interested us in the time alloted! Tenerife is an amazing island and we couldn't be happier with what we experienced. For reference, we visited: Anaga Rural Park; La Orotava; Casa de los Balcones; El Drago Milenario/Icod de los Vinos; and Garachico. I had a 6 year old that was concerned the ship was going to leave us, so after every stop he'd say, "let's go back to the ship!"....after the tour was done and 36 seconds into walking back to get on the ship, he says "wow, that place was really great"!! I would highly recommend this tour with Greg and couldn't be more appreciative for his services.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Tenerife has something for everyone, including volcanic landscapes, great beaches, quaint towns, and, not to mention, ample water sports and wildlife-watching opportunities. If you want to get the most out of your time on the island without organizing a boat or car rental, there are plenty of guided Tenerife day trips to pick. Explore panoramic vistas or go stargazing near Mount Teide and the Masca Valley, discover the historic town of La Laguna, or take a ferry trip to the hiking hot spot of La Gomera. Other popular choices include whale- and dolphin-watching adventures, kayaking, and Jet Skiing.
