We had a great experience with Angel. He kept us on track and very accommodating for all on the trip. We had a great tour and highly recommend.

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.

Angel, our guide, taught us a lot about the formation of the island and its volcanoes. The scenery is amazing, but if you don’t like heights, this trip might not be for you. Our bus driver did an excellent job in navigating the curvy and narrow roads.

The excursion was very good. We really enjoyed it. We would like to let others know that the meeting point was not as close nor was it viewable from our ship, as the instructions indicated. This is due to the fact that our ship was not docked where other ships usually dock. We managed to find the clock tower, thankfully, with plenty of time to spare. Our guide, Angel, was awesome!

We loved our full day tour with Angel. He shared his knowledge and love of Tenerife with us and we enjoyed our day tour to the National Park, Orotava, and La Laguna from the cruise port.

Small group, interesting stops, beautiful scenery! It was a day well spent and a good way to get an overview of this island! Our guide was very nice and we really enjoyed this tour.

Angel was a good guide who shared lots of facts particularly about the cultural aspects of Tennerife.
Paul_N, Apr 2024
Angel is a friendly, knowledgeable, and considerate guide. The visit to the volcano is well worth
the time.
William_T, Mar 2024
Great way to see the highlights of Tenerife in a day. Angel was a fabulous tour guide--full if knowledge, fun, and engaging. We really enjoyed the small group as opposed to being on a large bus. Seeing Teide National Park is a must.

Great guide and superb scenery. Helped by lovely weather.
Had some difficulty getting in and out of the van as we were the last to board.

Angel was absolutely amazing! He took us to areas that were breathtaking. We were able to experience fabulous landscapes with incredible views.
We were also to climb up some rock formations and take a walk on “the moon!”
Angel was attentive to assure that we were enjoying our day and had enough time to experience what we came to do.
No cruiseline excursion could ever match what we did. With a van, we were able to navigate the small streets to get to more places.

Our guide, Angel, met us at the agreed place and time. His friendly manner, knowledge of Tenerife and its history, both ancient and recent, were amazing and made the trip extremely enjoyable. His love for his home was clear to see. One of our group called it the ‘best tour ever’.
Thank you Angel, I would happily recommend your tour to anyone.

Picked up by Angel at the cruise port right on time. A great tour (6+ hrs) leaves you wanting to return for more. You need a knowledgeable guide to explore the national park of Teide which Angel provides. The photo opportunities are plentiful. The trip to and from the park was filled with interesting stops and lots of information.

The guide and driver were good, the. Guide spoke good english and was informative. The car was smaller then advertised, but it was ok. The tour itself was well worth the money. Stopped for lunch at a local restauraunt wwith local menu. Quite interesting

Oh!! Quelle belle île et un parc naturel de haut niveau (altitude et qualité!!)
Bravo au conducteur David qui a réussi un parcours tout en douceur dans le millier de virages en épingle (sans exagération!!)

El camino de bosques hasta llegar al Parque Nac del Taide el recorrido por las formaciones rocosas y la zona de la luna .

An sich ein guter Ausflug, leider hatten wir auf der Tour etwas Pech.
Der Treffpunkt ist zentral und nach kurzen Richtungsfrage am Check out gut zu finden, Guide war punktlich da, hatten einen großen sauberer Bus für kleine Gruppe, sodass jeder einzeln sitzen konnte. Wetter war wechselhaft aber gut, mit viel Sonne vor allem am Tiede, Aussichten waren specktakulär.
Nun zu den "aber" bzw. Pech: zum Treffpunkt muss man ziemlich lange laufen, gute 15 min vom Schiff muss man schon einplannen, wenn man nicht total abgehetzt ankommen will. Abholung durch Bus war um 15 min verspätet, da der Bus anders stand als der Guide und die beiden erstmal zu einander selbst finden mussten ツ. Unsere Guide war nett aber etwas lustlos, sprach zudem leider sehr schlecht deutsch, man musste sich richtig anstrengen um sie zu verstehen und dann hat man nur die Hälfte verstanden. Auf den Rückweg vom Tiede-Berg war vor uns ein Autounfall, der die enge Straße blockiert hatte, der Bus konnte nicht wenden und wir saßen für fast 1 Stunde 20 fest bis alles geräumt wurde. Dadurch fielen 2 letzten Punkte des Programm aus. Wir kamen aber trotzden pünktlich am Schiff an.
